Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large villa 501 m² listed at €790,000 (~€1,577/m²) versus the regional baseline €242/m²; even adding a modest €200/m² for works gives an effective ~€1,776/m², far above market. The description does not state the property's condition or energy class (there are 28 photos), so price appears significantly inflated for the area.
More on the house and the area
A large, well-maintained villa with a wide covered loggia, mature olive trees and private garden, plus a sweeping valley/town view — very photogenic outside. Interior spaces are generous and move-in ready (big living room with impressive stone fireplace), so this feels like a real, livable dream home rather than a project.
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€33,000 – €56,000
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.
- High asking price — not a bargain or under €100k
- Sea is ~27 km away (hilltop/valley setting, not coastal)
- Some interior finishes (kitchen/bath) look dated and may be refreshed
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 66/100The cluster is in the Tronto valley under the Monti della Laga and close to the Sibillini side of the central Apennines. The Tronto river runs through Ascoli Piceno. Monti Sibillini National Park begins to the northwest, with the Forca di Presta road and the Castelluccio side of the range within mountain-driving distance but outside the immediate urban area. San Giacomo above Ascoli has the nearest ski lifts, about 25 km away by road. Ascoli Piceno is the nearest town of size and has a large travertine-built historic centre with Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Arringo, many medieval towers and churches, and the Romanesque Ponte di Cecco area on the river. The city is known for travertine architecture and olive all’ascolana.
