At €80,000 plus an estimated €18,000 for basic work, the effective cost is about €1,089/m²—far above the €383/m² level for comparable Abruzzo villas. The house is described as habitable and has 16 photos, but its inland location and high effective price make it a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, well-equipped home with a large traditional kitchen, multiple furnished rooms, heating, and a sunny planted courtyard/terrace. It is comfortable and ready to live in, but the appeal is more practical and homey than architecturally distinctive, with dated interiors and an ordinary urban setting.
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 – €10,000
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.
- Decor and finishes are dated and highly personalized.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-room home.
- The property is in a dense town setting with no notable view visible.
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 58/100The area sits on the lower slopes between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic side hills, with a landscape of vineyards, olive groves and cultivated ridges. The Foro river valley is nearby, and the coast around Ortona is within the wider surrounding area beyond the immediate inland hills. The Maiella National Park begins farther inland, and the mountain is a constant presence to the west, but the protected high mountain landscape is outside the immediate 15 km radius. Ortona is the nearest larger town, with a port, rail station and services. This part of Abruzzo is known for wine production, especially Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and olive oil.
