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 €75,000 for 180 sqm, the asking price is €417/sqm, but the text says it needs structural consolidation, so I treat it as heavy restoration at about €1,100/sqm; effective cost is roughly €1,517/sqm, far above the Abruzzo villa baseline of €368/sqm. Near the historic center and about 6 km from the sea help a little, but the need for major works and the separate purchase condition for the adjacent unit make this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
The real appeal is the setting: a usable house near the historic center with a distant sea horizon and a generous olive-filled plot that gives it genuine lifestyle value. The home is not a shell and appears basically complete, but the interiors are tired and there are visible cracks and condition issues, so this is a substantial renovation rather than an easy refresh. At €75k for 180 sqm plus land near the coast, it has dream potential more than immediate wow.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €105,000
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.

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 61/100The area sits on low Adriatic hills above the Saline valley, with the Gran Sasso massif and the Maiella visible inland in clear weather but outside the immediate landscape. The Saline river plain is the main local landform before the ground drops toward the coast. The nearest larger town is Pescara, which has full city services, a railway station and the airport. Città Sant’Angelo itself has a substantial hilltop historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and the belt of settlements between the Abruzzo hills and the Adriatic coast.
