What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 115 sqm, the ask is just €348/sqm, well below the local baseline of €421/sqm, which is a strong starting point. But the house is explicitly 'completamente da ristrutturare', so using about €1,100/sqm renovation puts the effective cost near €1,448/sqm; central location, panoramic terrace and 14 photos support it as a solid renovation play rather than a bargain turnkey home.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine old-town charm: an attractive period facade, little balconies, a panoramic veranda and a side terrace with greenery and open outlook. Crucially, it is a real house rather than a shell, with floors, stairs, bathrooms and usable rooms already in place, but it clearly needs a full renovation to become truly comfortable and beautiful to live in. At €40k for 115 sqm, the price adds some dream value.
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€46,000 – €67,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated despite being currently fitted out
- Interiors are dated with visible cracks and wear
- View is mostly hinted rather than fully showcased in the photos
- Outdoor space is narrow rather than a true private garden
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 53/100The area sits in the low hills between the Pescara River basin and the Adriatic side of Abruzzo, with a landscape of cultivated slopes, olive groves and scattered villages. The Pescara River runs to the north of Pianella, and the foothill mass of the Maiella is visible farther inland but not within the immediate 15 km landscape. Chieti and Pescara are the nearest larger centres, with full services, rail links, hospitals and retail areas. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive oil and wine production.
