What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€279/m²), this 233 m² farmhouse is explicitly completely to renovate; at an estimated €1,100/m², the effective cost is about €1,379/m², far above the local €317/m² reference. The 1.5 hectares add potential but do not offset the very large renovation budget, while the listing provides only one photo and does not say whether the building is structurally sound or fully suitable for residential conversion.
More on the house and the area
A peaceful Abruzzo farmhouse with broad agricultural land, mature trees, open countryside, and distant rolling hills gives it genuine rural appeal. However, the 233 sqm building is explicitly completely to be renovated, making this a promising lifestyle project rather than a realistically usable home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€92,000 – €137,000
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.
- The property is explicitly completely to be renovated, so the single visible building photo does not establish livability.
- Only one photo is provided; the interior condition, roof, utilities, and bathroom/kitchen status are unknown.
- The 1.5 hectares of agricultural land add substantial maintenance and renovation 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 56/100This is low hill country between the Foro and Moro valleys, with vineyards and olive groves typical of the inland Chieti area. The Adriatic coast around Francavilla al Mare and Ortona is within about 15 km in a straight line, but Ari itself sits inland on ridges rather than on the shore. The nearest substantial town is Chieti, which has a historic centre, services and university functions; Pescara is the main city of the area for rail, airport and retail, but it lies beyond the immediate landscape. The Majella massif is a dominant presence on clear days to the west, though the mountain parks and ski lifts are outside the 15 km radius. This part of Abruzzo is known for wine and olive oil production.
