In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,006/m², the 91 m² apartment is priced well above the local €547/m² benchmark; allowing €200/m² for its habitable condition raises the effective cost to about €1,206/m². The beachfront location, garage and terraces add value, but only one photo is provided and the listing does not say how many bathrooms or what energy performance it has.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, apparently habitable apartment in a leafy urban street, with balconies and a terrace adding useful outdoor space. The garage, cellar, heating, and secure-entry features support everyday livability, but the photo shows little architectural beauty or standout setting. Its appeal is functional rather than dream-home compelling.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 one exterior photo is provided, so the interior condition and bathroom quality are unverified.
- Urban apartment setting with no visible sea or scenic view.
- The building exterior appears serviceable but dated rather than distinctive.
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.
