What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €55,000 asking price is attractive at €270/m², but the house is described as untouched over time and needing personalization, implying roughly €700/m² in renovation; the effective cost approaches €970/m² versus a €454/m² local benchmark. Its 6 km distance from the sea and generous 204 m² size add appeal, but the listing does not state the exact condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A large, authentic two-storey village house with old shutters, wrought-iron balconies, traditional chimneys and mature oleanders gives it genuine Italian character. The exterior is visibly tired and the description suggests a personalization project rather than a move-in-ready home, but the substantial size and two bathrooms make it a potentially usable residence after renovation.
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€40,000 – €72,000
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.
- Facade shows substantial weathering and likely needs renovation.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual livability, utilities, roof and systems cannot be confirmed.
- Urban street setting with no visible garden or private outdoor space.
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 cluster sits in the low hills above the Adriatic coast of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic is nearby, with the Costa dei Trabocchi stretch of coast around Vasto and San Salvo as the main coastal reference for daily life. The Sinello valley is close by, and the inland horizon is the Abruzzo Apennine chain on clear days rather than a mountain landscape at the door. Vasto is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services, shops and beaches. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed farmland.
