Near the Adriatic Sea almost directly across from Rome, this three-storey house is in the hamlet of Caprafico. It is set in a hectare of land and needs a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach the front door. Building a drive could be the first task; the house also needs rewiring and plumbing. There are two rooms on each floor, with a fireplace on the ground floor. There are views down a valley from the front of the house, Guardiagrele town to the side and mountains at the back: there is skiing at Passo Lanciano about 20km away. Price: €50,000
