Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 (€273/m²), the 110 m² home remains attractive even allowing roughly €22,000 for light habitable-condition work: an estimated €473/m² total versus a €611/m² local benchmark. Its furnished independent-house layout, garden, natural-gas heating and historic setting near the castle add value, although the listing does not say the actual condition and the G energy rating may imply future upgrades.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable and furnished village house with warm traditional details, a working-looking fireplace, abundant woodwork, a private garden, and attractive valley and hill views. The exterior lacks polish and the interiors are dated, but this is a real home rather than a renovation shell—and €30,000 makes the combination unusually compelling.
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 – €12,000
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.
- Exterior facade is visibly weathered and would benefit from renovation.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated in style and finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 110 m², four-bedroom home.
- Energy class G implies potentially high heating costs.
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 upper Trigno valley under the Molise Apennines, with wooded slopes and farmed valley ground around the village. The Trigno river runs nearby. This is close to the border of the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, whose Molise sector begins a short distance to the west around the Sangro and Alto Molise mountains. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Isernia is the nearest town of size for everyday services and rail connections. Pescolanciano is known for its castle above the settlement, and the wider area for forests, pastoral country and traditional mountain food products.
