Why this price is what it is

At €94,000 (€348/m²), the house appears inexpensive, but renovation at roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,048/m², well above the local comparison level of €454/m². The sea proximity and 20 photos help, but the listing says approximately 3 km from the sea while the stated location data says 1 km.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a substantial independent home with a genuine countryside-and-sea outlook, extensive cultivated land and greenhouses, and an appealing €94,000 price for 270 sqm. The interiors appear structurally usable with kitchens, bathrooms, heating and multiple bedrooms, but the home is dated and clearly needs renovation rather than being a polished move-in dream.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€95,000 – €135,000

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.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€53,000 – €95,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The house is explicitly marketed as needing renovation, despite having usable kitchens, bathrooms, heating and intact interiors.
  • Interior finishes and bathroom fittings are dated, and the exterior shows weathering.
  • The large agricultural land and greenhouses may require substantial ongoing maintenance and should be verified as included and legally usable.

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 58/100

The cluster is on the Adriatic coast, with beaches and the seafront of Francavilla al Mare immediately nearby. The Foro river reaches the sea here. Pescara is directly adjacent to the north and provides a full city of shops, services, rail links and the airport. The first Adriatic headlands of the Costa dei Trabocchi begin farther south around Ortona, outside the immediate radius. Inland, the landscape rises toward the Abruzzo foothills but the main mountain massifs are beyond the local 15 km landscape.
