Asking €95,000; estimated renovation ~€19,000 (200€/m²) → effective €114,000 or ~€1,200/m², far above the regional median of €363/m². The property has a large 720 m² usable courtyard and expansion potential and good location by the hospital, but the effective price per m² makes it overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 1970s villa with a very large private courtyard/garden (~720 m²) and pleasant views toward the hilltop town. The rooms and fireplace are liveable now but clearly dated; the attic space is raw. Excellent low‑price opportunity for someone who wants an inexpensive home with space to expand and a garden for outdoor living.
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€6,000 – €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.
- Interiors dated and need modernisation (kitchen, bathroom, finishes).
- Only one small bathroom; attic/soffitte are unfinished and require work.
- Expansion potential depends on local permits — verify planning/zoning before purchase.
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 58/100The area is in the rolling inland hills between the lower Sangro valley and the Adriatic side of Abruzzo. The Sangro river system is the main named landscape feature nearby, with mixed farmland, olive groves and scattered hill settlements around Atessa. The Maiella massif rises to the west but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest larger centre is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail access toward the coast. This part of the province is known for olive growing, vineyards and hilltop towns tied to the Sangro valley.
