Asking €30,000 plus estimated renovation €20,000 (200€/m²) gives an effective €50,000 or €500/m², about 10% above the regional median of €454/m²; central location and 15 m² terrace are positives but the effective price is slightly high.
More on the house and the area
A charming stone-front palazzina in the heart of Pescosolido with real character — fireplace, original tiles and a sunny 15 sqm rooftop terrace with open mountain and piazza views. The apartment is habitable now but would benefit from cosmetic updates and has tight village access and a low-ceiling attic room.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Central village access — narrow alleys and likely no private parking.
- Cosmetic updating needed (kitchen, some finishes) though fully habitable.
- Top-floor room has low/sloping ceilings; staircases are narrow/steep.
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 72/100The cluster is in the eastern Ciociaria hills at the edge of the central Apennines. The Monti Ernici rise immediately around Pescosolido, with the higher group of Monte del Passeggio and Monte Cornacchia close by. The upper Liri valley is the main valley landscape in this part of the province. The Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise begins a short distance to the east, and the Forca d'Acero pass is one of the usual access points from this side. The nearest town of size is Sora, which has a substantial built-up centre, services and rail connections, and Isola del Liri is nearby with its well-known waterfall in the town centre. This area is known for mountain villages, chestnut and olive country on the lower slopes, and access from Lazio into the Abruzzo national-park mountains.
