See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€423/m²), the house is attractively priced before works, but its stated renovation need brings the estimated all-in cost to about €146,000, or €1,123/m²—well above the local €454/m² benchmark. Its sea proximity, garden and parking add value, but the renovation burden limits the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, solid two-level country house with floors, a kitchen, bathroom, balcony, private outdoor space, and attractive views over olive groves and fields toward the coast. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home, with damp, cracked finishes, a damaged ceiling/roof area, and very dated interiors.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp and peeling finishes, roof/ceiling deterioration, and likely electrical/plumbing updates.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 130 sqm, two-level house.
- The property fronts or sits very close to a busy road, with limited privacy and road noise likely.
- Kitchen and interiors are cluttered and dated, and the home is not presented as move-in ready.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Adriatic coast around Vasto, with the Gulf of Vasto and long sandy beaches at Vasto Marina and nearby Punta Penna. The coast here also includes the Punta Aderci Regional Nature Reserve, with low cliffs, dune areas and agricultural headlands, and the port and lighthouse area at Punta Penna. Inland within a short radius the land rises into cultivated hills with olive groves and vineyards rather than mountains. Vasto is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre on higher ground above the sea, a port area, and full everyday services. The area is known for the Trabocchi Coast, olive oil and wine production.
