Estimated renovation €12,600 (≈€200/m²) brings the effective price to €72,600, or ≈€1,152/m²; that's almost double the regional baseline of €580/m², so this listing looks overpriced despite being habitable and having 16 photos.
More on the house and the area
Sunny single‑level villa with a large private garden, a pleasant covered porch and distant mountain views that create a tranquil rural setting. The home is habitable with a functioning kitchen, bathroom and heating, but the rooms are simple and the extra outbuilding requires work — a very affordable move‑in country home for someone willing to do light updates.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Small footprint (63 sqm) with only one bathroom
- Interiors are basic and would benefit from cosmetic updating
- Additional outbuilding shown needs finishing/renovation
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 78/100The Mainarde and central Apennine mountains are immediately around San Donato Val di Comino. The upper Comino valley lies here, with mountain slopes, beech woods and limestone ridges within a few kilometres of the village. Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise National Park reaches this area, and Forca d'Acero is the nearby pass linking the valley to the Sangro side. Pescasseroli, with the park visitor services and local facilities, is the main mountain centre nearby. The area is known for its position on the edge of the national park and for traditional mountain villages of the Comino valley.
