What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 50 sqm, the asking price is €900/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the dwelling layout and 13 photos, effective cost is about €1,100/sqm including light works. That is well above this catalog’s Abruzzo country-house baseline of €419/sqm, with only a small positive from the independent house and near-coast location (6 km).
More on the house and the area
The flower-filled stair approach and little borgo setting give this house real charm, and the bedroom’s exposed timber roof adds some authentic character. It looks habitable now, with kitchen, bathroom and finished rooms, but the interiors are simple and compact rather than dream-home beautiful. Overall this is a cute, usable small home with modest wow rather than a true scroll-stopper.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Very small 50 sqm layout with only 1 bedroom.
- Interiors are basic and somewhat cramped, especially the kitchen/living area and bathroom.
- Courtyard/rear exterior space looks functional rather than pretty.
- No meaningful view shown; access is via a private stair in a tight lane.
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 62/100The area lies on the Adriatic coastal plain and low hills of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic coast is a few kilometres away, with the long beach at Casalbordino Lido and the wider Costa dei Trabocchi stretch running along this part of the Chieti shoreline. The Sinello valley is nearby, and the Punta Aderci area by Vasto, with protected coastal landscape and trabocchi fishing structures, is within the local coastal zone to the south. Vasto is the nearest larger town, with services, a historic centre and a marina. This part of the coast is known for beaches, cultivated hills and trabocchi on the shore.
