At €342/m², this furnished 141 m² apartment is about 38% below comparable local asking levels, with a strong location just 1 km from the sea. Allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition and updating, the effective cost is about €542/m²; the listing does not say the bathroom count, condition, or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
A large, bright 141 m² apartment in central Vasto, with two balconies, high ceilings, attractive exposed roof beams in one room, and the sea about 1 km away. It is a real, usable home rather than a shell, but the interiors are dated and the stated maintenance condition is poor, so it feels more like a substantial bargain needing renovation than a dream-ready Italian 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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Overall maintenance is described as poor, with dated finishes and likely refurbishment needed.
- No private parking or other outbuildings; only two balconies provide outdoor space.
- Auction purchase requires careful review of the survey, occupancy status, and legal procedure.
- Bathroom information is inconsistent: the description mentions a bathroom and WC, while the supplied facts list zero bathrooms.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Adriatic coast around Vasto, with the Gulf of Vasto and long sandy beaches at Vasto Marina and nearby Punta Penna. The coast here also includes the Punta Aderci Regional Nature Reserve, with low cliffs, dune areas and agricultural headlands, and the port and lighthouse area at Punta Penna. Inland within a short radius the land rises into cultivated hills with olive groves and vineyards rather than mountains. Vasto is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre on higher ground above the sea, a port area, and full everyday services. The area is known for the Trabocchi Coast, olive oil and wine production.
