In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 130 m², the effective cost is about €931/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable but traditional home, versus a local reference level of €363/m². The villa has useful extras such as a garage, cellar, heating and garden, but Ortucchio offers no clear location premium and the listing does not say when it was built or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, well-kept villa with a large private garden, mature fruit trees, covered veranda, garage, and pleasant mountain views. The interiors are spacious and fully usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, and comfortable bedrooms, though the style is classic and somewhat dated rather than spectacular.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home.
- Interiors are clean and usable but traditionally dated rather than design-forward.
- The setting is quiet and green, though the surrounding neighborhood is ordinary rather than a historic borgo.
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 56/100The cluster is in the Fucino basin, a broad inland plain enclosed by the central Apennines, with the Velino-Sirente mountains to the north and the Abruzzo ranges around the Marsica to the south and east. Nearby is the former bed of Lake Fucino, now reclaimed farmland that defines the landscape around Ortucchio. The Parco naturale regionale Sirente-Velino begins within this wider mountain setting to the north. The nearest ski areas are on Monte Magnola above Ovindoli and at Campo Felice, both roughly about an hour by road depending on conditions. Avezzano is the nearest sizeable town, with rail links, shops and services. The area is known for the drained Fucino plain and its intensive agriculture.
