What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €125/m², the asking price is far below the Abruzzo country-house baseline of €456/m², but the condition is missing and the description is incomplete for an unusually large 800 m² property. Using a €700/m² renovation estimate gives an effective cost of about €825/m², making this weak unless much of the building is already habitable.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€158,000 – €281,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 61/100The area is in the rolling inland hills of the Val Fino, with views toward the Gran Sasso massif on clear days. The Fino river runs through this part of the province. Within about 15 km the landscape is mainly cultivated hills with small woods, scattered villages and erosion gullies typical of the Teramo interior. Atri is the nearest historic town of note, with a cathedral, a substantial old centre and ducal buildings. The Calanchi di Atri Regional Nature Reserve lies near Atri, protecting badlands formations on the Adriatic-side hills. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo vineyards and small hill towns between the Apennines and the coast.
