At €80,721, the estimated all-in cost is about €96,121, or €1,248/m²—more than twice the local comparison level of €547/m². Being habitable and only 800 m from the sea adds value, but the premium is too high for the information provided.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a solid, roofed 77 sqm apartment near the sea, and the listing claims autonomous heating and a kitchen. However, the building has little character or visible outdoor appeal, while the lack of interior photos and the missing bathroom information make it difficult to view this as a genuinely dream-worthy home.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition, kitchen, and bathroom arrangement cannot be verified.
- The exterior looks utilitarian and somewhat institutional, with barred windows, multiple air-conditioning units, and little visible private outdoor space.
- The aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate setting.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite the description calling the apartment habitable; this needs clarification.
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 55/100On the Adriatic coast at the mouth area of the Saline, this is a built-up coastal strip continuous with Pescara rather than a separate rural landscape. The beach is the main feature within the immediate area. Pescara is adjacent and provides the full services of a provincial capital, rail links and the airport. The Gran Sasso and Maiella massifs are important on the regional horizon but they are well beyond the 15 km landscape around the cluster and do not set the score.
