What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 130 sqm, the ask is €692/sqm; assuming broadly habitable condition from the description, a light renovation budget of about €200/sqm brings effective cost to roughly €892/sqm. That is well above the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €419/sqm, so despite the good size, independent entrance, terrace/parking and 38 photos, this looks more ordinary than discounted.
More on the house and the area
The brick-vaulted taverna is genuinely striking and gives this home real historic character, with fireplaces, decent finishes and clear move-in usability. It is not a pristine dream house throughout, though: the rest of the property looks more ordinary and dated upstairs, so this feels like a solid, livable home with one standout wow space rather than a full-package stunner.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Main wow seems concentrated in the vaulted taverna rather than the whole house
- Upper-level rooms look dated and need cosmetic updating
- No real view or notable landscape setting shown
- Some exterior shots suggest the frontage/outbuildings were heavily improved for presentation
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 68/100The Maiella massif rises immediately to the south-west, with the northern edge of Maiella National Park within the local area. The Pescara River valley runs nearby and the landscape is a mix of lower hills, quarryed slopes and valley floor below the mountain front. The nearest ski area is Passolanciano-Maielletta on the Maiella, roughly 30–40 minutes by road. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with full services and a historic centre, and Pescara is the main city on this side of Abruzzo for rail links, airport and major retail. Manoppello is known for the Santuario del Volto Santo, a noted Catholic pilgrimage site.
