Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €575/m², the asking price is about 33% above the local €431/m² reference; allowing a modest €200/m² for updates and the energy-class G condition brings the effective cost to roughly €775/m². The historic-center setting, panoramic balcony, garden features and proximity to the coast add appeal, but the listing does not state the precise condition or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely dreamy Abruzzo townhouse in a beautiful historic borgo, with sweeping Adriatic, coastal-hill, and countryside views from its balcony and surroundings. The 120 sqm home is described as a usable multi-level residence with two bathrooms, bedrooms, a panoramic balcony, and distinctive exposed-brick vaulted rooms rather than an empty shell. Its strongest appeal is the combination of authentic historic character, walkable village life, and exceptional scenery.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 gallery shows almost no interior, so the actual finish and maintenance level are not independently visible.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating and cooling costs.
- Historic-centre access may involve narrow streets, stairs, and limited nearby parking.
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 61/100The area sits on low Adriatic hills above the Saline valley, with the Gran Sasso massif and the Maiella visible inland in clear weather but outside the immediate landscape. The Saline river plain is the main local landform before the ground drops toward the coast. The nearest larger town is Pescara, which has full city services, a railway station and the airport. Città Sant’Angelo itself has a substantial hilltop historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and the belt of settlements between the Abruzzo hills and the Adriatic coast.
