What it really costs

Move in as it is
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The apartment is in good, move-in-ready condition with a sea-view terrace just 2 km from the coast, but €69,000 equals €1,643/m². Even allowing only about €200/m² for minor work, the effective cost is roughly €1,843/m²—well above the local sub-€100k apartment benchmark of €547/m², so the location perks do not offset the premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, well-presented, move-in-ready apartment with a genuinely appealing terrace and visible sea view. The landscaped residential setting, furnished interiors, air conditioning, working kitchen, bedroom, and finished bathroom make it a real usable home rather than a renovation project, though it is compact and lacks distinctive historic character.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Only 42 sqm, with a compact one-bedroom layout.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs.
- The sea view appears partial and the outdoor greenery is shared rather than a private garden.
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 58/100Adriatic Sea coastline and long sandy beaches lie immediately to the east of the cluster; the area is a low coastal plain with beach and tourism development. Nearby coastal towns within the same stretch of coast include Tortoreto, Giulianova (which has a marina/port and a railway station) and Martinsicuro. The main north–south transport corridors for the region—the Adriatic railway line and the A14 motorway/SS16 state road—run close to the coast and serve Alba Adriatica and neighbouring towns. The provincial capital Teramo is inland (roughly 20–25 km) and supplies provincial-level services, hospitals and larger shops. The area is known for seasonal bathing tourism and beach resort infrastructure (promenades, bathing establishments).
