At €95,000 plus an estimated €97,300 renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,383/m² versus a local benchmark of €429/m². The sea is only 4 km away and the house has a garage, terraces, and views, but the substantial renovation need makes this price weak.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, furnished 139 sqm home with a lush landscaped approach, garage, terraces and an exceptional panorama over rolling Abruzzo hills toward the sea. The interior is fully laid out and usable rather than a shell, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace and a working-looking kitchen, but it needs meaningful cosmetic and moisture-related renovation. At €95,000, the combination of space, views and outdoor setting creates strong dream-home appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 58/100Coastal setting on the Adriatic Sea with sandy beaches and the built tourist strip of seaside promenades and bathing establishments. The Adriatic railway and the SS16/A14 motorway run along this part of the coast, and Roseto has a local station on the Adriatic line. The immediate hinterland rises to low Apennine foothills within a few kilometres, with agricultural land (vineyards, olive trees and orchards) on the slopes. Nearby small coastal towns with similar beach-resort economies include Alba Adriatica, Tortoreto and Giulianova. No national park or UNESCO landscape lies within about 15 km; the Gran Sasso/Parco Nazionale is farther inland. The nearest major airport is Abruzzo (Pescara) and provincial centres (Pescara, Teramo) are roughly a 30–40 minute drive.
