A habitable 159 m² townhouse with garage, cellar, terraces and heating costs about €80,000 (€503/m²), modestly above the local €429/m² benchmark. Its strong amenities and 37 photos support a solid, usable home, though the price is not a deep discount and it is 12 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious Abruzzo townhouse with working rooms, a kitchen, heating, terrace, balcony, garage, and attractive traditional details including a fireplace and vaulted cellar. Its rural setting is pleasant, but the exterior is fairly ordinary and the neighboring ruined outbuilding detracts from the dream-home appeal.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 main home appears habitable, but finishes, kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures are quite dated.
- A prominent adjacent outbuilding is in poor, near-derelict condition and may require substantial restoration.
- The vaulted cellar/storage areas need renovation and should be checked for damp and structural issues.
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 63/100The area sits on the hills between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic, in a landscape of cultivated ridges, small valleys and scattered villages. The Foro and Alento river valleys are nearby, and the Adriatic coast around Francavilla al Mare and Ortona is within the local orbit. Maiella National Park begins inland, with the nearest access around Guardiagrele and the eastern foothills; the mountain is a constant presence from this part of Chieti province. The nearest larger town is Chieti, which has a substantial historic centre, services and Roman remains, and Pescara is the main city of the area for rail, airport and shopping. Bucchianico is known as the birthplace of San Camillo de Lellis.
