What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €667/m², the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,367/m², far above the local €385/m² benchmark; the home also needs work and has energy class G. Being 1 km from the sea, with 26 photos and useful amenities, adds appeal but does not offset the high all-in price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable 105 sqm home with three bedrooms, a fireplace, and an unusually generous covered porch and planted courtyard. The interiors are clean but dated and the house needs work, while the ordinary village setting offers convenience rather than a spectacular Italian view.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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 explicitly needs renovation work, although it is already furnished and appears usable.
- Only one bathroom is shown for three bedrooms.
- Energy class G indicates likely high running costs and possible efficiency upgrades.
- The setting is residential and practical rather than scenic, with no visible sea or mountain view.
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 78/100The cluster is on the Adriatic coast by the Costa dei Trabocchi, the stretch of shoreline south of Ortona known for trabocchi fishing platforms, small coves and low cliffs alternating with beaches. The Moro River reaches the sea just south of Ortona. Ortona is the nearest town of size, with a port, a walled historic centre on a bluff above the sea, and the Cathedral of San Tommaso. The area is known for vineyards and olive groves on the coastal hills and for Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine. The Maiella massif is inland but beyond the immediate coastal landscape.
