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
The dwelling appears legally habitable, but with interiors still to renovate despite the Superbonus shell upgrades; a moderate renovation estimate of about €500/m² puts the effective cost near €1,429/m² (€78,000 + ~€42,000), far above the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €417/m². Positives are the recent energy-efficiency works, 16 photos, panoramic rural setting and included agricultural land/outbuildings, but as a home purchase it still prices well above this catalog’s local cheap-stock benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with a big bonus: wide Abruzzo countryside views and substantial olive land. The house itself is structurally solid and freshly upgraded on the energy side, but the interiors are old-fashioned rather than beautiful and need updating. It feels more like a practical rural lifestyle buy with genuine panorama than a romantic stunner.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €16,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic renovation.
- Main house is in a plain 1970s building with limited character.
- Outdoor annex/carport areas look basic and utilitarian.
- Ground-floor flat in a tri-family building, so not fully standalone.
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 63/100The cluster is in the inland hills between the Pescara valley and the first ridges of the Apennines. The Pescara River runs nearby in the main valley to the north-east. Majella is the nearest named mountain mass visible in this part of the province, and the edge of Maiella National Park lies roughly within the wider 15 km range to the south-west around the Manoppello and Serramonacesca side. The nearest town of size is Chieti, with a substantial historic centre, services, shops and hospitals; Pescara is the main larger city for daily needs and transport but lies farther out on the coast. This part of inland Pescara province is known for olive groves, vineyards and hill villages on spurs above the valleys.
