What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 90 sqm, the ask is €667/sqm; with a typical needs-renovation allowance of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,367/sqm. That is far above the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €417/sqm, and the historic-center setting adds some appeal but not enough to offset the pricing.
More on the house and the area
This is a real old townhouse rather than a shell: it has usable rooms, vaulted ceilings, original proportions and a lived-in feel. The charm comes from the historic interior character and the very low price per square metre, but the beauty is modest and the house clearly needs substantial cosmetic work and probably some technical checks before feeling comfortable.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits on the low hills between the Adriatic coast and the first rises toward the Maiella massif, with the mountain range visible in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Foro river runs nearby and reaches the Adriatic at Francavilla al Mare. Within roughly 15 km are the coast at Francavilla al Mare and Ortona, with beaches and a working port. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services, a university presence and museums. The area is known for vineyards and olive groves in the coastal hills, including Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine production.
