At €367/m², this habitable 97 m² apartment is near the local €547/m² benchmark after allowing about €19,400 for works, making it fairly priced rather than exceptional. Its location just 3 km from the sea and autonomous heating add clear appeal.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, bright 97 m² apartment with polished contemporary interiors, attractive flooring, a fitted kitchen, heating, and an impressive historic urban facade. It looks broadly habitable, but the unfinished bathroom and lack of a proven view keep it below dream-home territory.
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 – €11,000
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.
- One bathroom appears unfinished, with missing fixtures and fittings.
- The gallery mixes polished modern interiors with a much older, weathered historic facade; verify that all photos belong to the same apartment and confirm the building's common-area condition.
- No convincing sea or landscape view is shown despite the coastal location.
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 78/100The cluster is in the coastal belt of the Costa dei Trabocchi on the Adriatic. The Moro river reaches the sea near Ortona, and this stretch of coast alternates small beaches, low cliffs and the historic fishing platforms called trabocchi. The nearest town of size is Ortona itself, which has a walled old centre and a port. The area is known for the Costa dei Trabocchi and for vineyards and olive groves in the low hills behind the coast.
