The property is cat. C/6 (non‑residential) so it cannot legally be used as a dwelling as listed. It is a complete ruin with no windows or utilities; estimated restoration ≈€900/m² → renovation ≈€50,400 and an effective price ≈€71,400 (≈€1,275/m²), so avoid unless the cadastral use can be changed.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful hilltop village setting with authentic stone walls and a wide valley/mountain view. The building is a rough, mostly-empty shell (no windows or services) — a true renovation project but a very cheap entry into a picturesque borgo.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €20,000
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.
- Property is essentially a shell — floors, finishes, windows and utilities are missing
- Although the roof and solaio were redone, the interior needs full renovation and debris removal
- Small (56 m²) arranged over two levels with external access — limited private outdoor space
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 72/100Monti della Laga (central Apennines) form the nearby high ground and are within about 15 km of the village. Lago del Salto, an artificial reservoir on the Salto river, lies immediately adjacent to Petrella Salto and provides the local shoreline. The Salto river valley and its tributary valleys shape the local terrain. Parts of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park extend into the surrounding mountains. There are no ski lifts inside the 15 km radius; the nearest alpine ski area is on Monte Terminillo, some tens of kilometres by road. The closest service towns on main roads are Antrodoco (on the SS4) and the provincial capital Rieti, both beyond the 15 km immediate area. The lake and surrounding forests are used locally for fishing, boating and mountain walking.
