Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€462/m²), the 173 m² apartment is priced below the local €550/m² benchmark, but it is explicitly in need of renovation. At an estimated €700/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,162/m², before the optional €20,000 garage.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, bright 170 m² apartment with three balconies, attractive patterned floors, generous rooms, and a real green hill-and-valley view from the rear. It appears structurally complete and immediately understandable as a home, with two bathrooms and a functional kitchen, but the dated finishes and stated renovation needs keep it well below dream-home territory.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €61,000
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 apartment is explicitly described as needing renovation and personalization.
- Interiors are spacious and usable but heavily dated, with old bathrooms, kitchen, wallpaper, and furnishings.
- The €80,000 price excludes the optional €20,000 garage; energy class G and condominium costs should be checked.
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 58/100The cluster is in the hills around Chieti, with the Maiella massif visible inland and the Adriatic coast around Pescara and Francavilla al Mare within about 15 km. The Pescara River runs nearby at the foot of the Chieti hill. Chieti is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre on a ridge, Roman remains including a theatre, museums and the usual full set of services. The Maiella National Park is farther inland and does not fall inside the immediate area. This part of Abruzzo is known for cultivated hills with olive groves and vineyards between the Apennine foothills and the coast.
