What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€457/m²), the 186 m² townhouse needs renovation, bringing estimated all-in costs to about €215,000, or €1,157/m². That is far above the local €429/m² benchmark; the garage, cellar, terrace and views add appeal but do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The sweeping Abruzzo panorama is the clear standout, with rolling agricultural hills, badlands, distant mountains, olive trees and a large terrace-facing outlook. The house itself is clean, roofed and clearly usable, with refreshed floors, bathroom, garage and substantial outdoor space, although the missing kitchen and stated renovation needs keep it below dream-home territory. At €85,000 for 186 sqm with land and this view, it has genuine bargain 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€37,000 – €65,000
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.

- Only one bathroom is listed for 186 sqm.
- The property appears close to a public road, so traffic noise and privacy should be checked.
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 55/100The site lies in the low rolling hills of the Teramo hinterland, with a landscape of small agricultural ridges and valleys rather than high mountains. Land use within about 15 km is a patchwork of olive groves, vineyards, arable fields and small woodlands, served by narrow provincial roads. There are local streams and modest valley incisions but no large river or lake in the immediate area. No national or regional park or UNESCO designation sits within the 15 km radius. There are no ski lifts or alpine resorts in the immediate surroundings; the Apennine high peaks lie further inland. The nearest significant urban centre is the city of Teramo, which provides a provincial hospital, secondary schools and rail connections; coastal towns and beaches on the Adriatic lie to the east but are outside the immediate 15 km landscape.
