At €49,000 for 70 m² (€700/m²), this renovated villa is substantially above the local comparison level of about €383/m², so the price is not a standout bargain. The listing is very sparse and does not say when it was renovated, its energy performance, or provide basic bedroom and bathroom details; Fossacesia is also about 6 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
The strongest feature is the mature olive grove and peaceful rural setting near the Abruzzo coast. However, the building is an unfinished concrete-and-brick shell rather than a livable renovated villa, requiring substantial completion work before it could become a home.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Unfinished bare shell with exposed brick, concrete floors, and no windows or doors.
- No kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, or finished internal surfaces are shown.
- Overgrown olive land will require clearing and ongoing agricultural maintenance; legal status and completion permits need verification.
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 72/100The area lies on the Adriatic side of Abruzzo between the low inland hills and the Costa dei Trabocchi coast on the Adriatic, with beaches and the old fishing trabocchi structures around Fossacesia, Rocca San Giovanni and San Vito Chietino within about 15 km. The Sangro river reaches the sea nearby at Marina di Fossacesia. The nearest town of size is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, cathedral and services. The area is known for olive groves and vineyards on rolling hills close to the coast, and for the Trabocchi coast.
