The €85,800 price is attractive at €466/m², with a habitable 184 m² apartment, garage, cellar and terraces just 1 km from the sea. Allowing roughly €36,800 for normal habitable-property updates gives an effective cost near €666/m² versus about €543/m² for comparable local homes; the listing does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly large, clearly habitable apartment with multiple balconies, a terrace, several bedrooms, fitted kitchen, heating and practical storage. The home is bright and functional rather than beautiful, with no historic character, garden or scenic view; its main appeal is the generous space and proximity to the sea.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Urban setting directly above commercial premises, with street noise and limited privacy.
- Interiors appear fully usable but dated and heavily furnished, likely needing cosmetic updating.
- No sea view is shown despite the property being about 1 km from the coast.
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 60/100On the Adriatic coast: sandy beaches and a seafront promenade with adjoining coastal pine woods lie at the town itself. The Tronto river mouth is immediately to the north, and the Tronto also marks the Abruzzo–Marche regional border here. No national park or UNESCO landscape lies within about 15 km. Nearest ski lifts are on the Gran Sasso massif, roughly 60–90 km inland (about an hour to an hour and a half by car). The nearest larger town is San Benedetto del Tronto (across the Tronto in Marche) with a railway station, marina and larger commercial and hospital services; other nearby Adriatic towns include Alba Adriatica, Tortoreto and Giulianova. Pescara and its airport are farther south (around 45–60 km) and Teramo, the provincial capital with wider services, is roughly 30 km inland. The area is noted locally for seasonal seaside tourism, bathing establishments and seafood fishing.
