In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000 (€457/m²), this independent three-level home has a strong historic-center setting, panoramic views and two bathrooms, but an estimated €14,000 of habitable-property costs brings the effective price to about €657/m². That is substantially above the local €344/m² reference, so the attractive location does not make it an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable three-level home with a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, balconies, and extraordinary panoramic views across the Abruzzo mountains and valleys. The hilltop historic-village setting, tiled roofs, and rock-cut storage rooms add authentic character, while the €32,000 price makes the overall proposition unusually compelling. It is not a polished dream villa, but it offers a rare combination of usable condition, dramatic scenery, and very low entry cost.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Historic-center setting likely means narrow lanes, stairs, and limited direct vehicle access.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, with basic finishes and a wood-burning stove visible.
- Confirm the condition of both bathrooms, utilities, roof, and the two rock-cut storage rooms.
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.
