See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,528/m², far above the local comparison level of €425/m². The 39 m² described conflicts with the stated 58 m², and the property lacks mains sewerage, although its 3 km distance from the sea and panoramic setting add some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable small home rather than a ruin, with a fitted kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, tiled floors, exposed beams and a strong open Abruzzo countryside view. The surrounding olive grove and generous outdoor space add real lifestyle appeal, while the €48,000 price is attractive; however, the house is basic, compact and more functional than beautiful, with practical renovation and septic-system considerations.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Very small 39–58 sqm footprint, with a compact combined living/kitchen area.
- The property is outside the sewer network and relies on a septic tank, though connection may be possible.
- Exterior paving, outbuildings and landscaping look utilitarian and unfinished; the listing also says renovation is needed.
- Energy class G and apparent lack of a clearly finished heating system may mean higher running costs.
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 in the lower Sangro valley near the Adriatic coast, with cultivated rolling hills and the Sangro River forming the main natural feature inland. The Costa dei Trabocchi is nearby, with rocky and pebbly shoreline sections around Fossacesia and Torino di Sangro within about 15 km. The Lecceta di Torino di Sangro Regional Nature Reserve protects a stretch of coastal woodland and beach at the river mouth. Lanciano is the nearest substantial town, with a historic centre and full daily services. This part of the coast is known for trabocchi fishing structures and for vineyards and olive groves.
