See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€524/m²), this 105 m² house needs substantial renovation estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,224/m² versus the local benchmark of €426/m². The 2,000 m² garden and additional 2 hectares add appeal, but the listing is still expensive after works.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical countryside property with attractive rolling-hill and mountain surroundings, about 2,000 m² near the house and a further 2 hectares nearby. The main structure is intact and has finished rooms, a bathroom, heating radiators, and usable floors, but it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home. Its low price and unusually large landholding create genuine potential, though the house itself is visually ordinary.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.

- The house needs substantial renovation, with peeling finishes, damaged ceilings, a very dated bathroom, and cluttered storage areas.
- The large landholding will require ongoing maintenance and possibly agricultural or fencing work.
- The photos do not establish the condition of utilities, heating, roof structure, or legal status of the additional land.
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 61/100The area sits on low Adriatic hills above the Saline valley, with the Gran Sasso massif and the Maiella visible inland in clear weather but outside the immediate landscape. The Saline river plain is the main local landform before the ground drops toward the coast. The nearest larger town is Pescara, which has full city services, a railway station and the airport. Città Sant’Angelo itself has a substantial hilltop historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and the belt of settlements between the Abruzzo hills and the Adriatic coast.
