At €500/m² before works, the partly unfinished house could reach roughly €1,200/m² after an estimated €105,000 renovation, far above the local €342/m² benchmark. The central location, garden, garage and sea only 3 km away add appeal, but not enough to offset the substantial finishing costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, independent three-level house with a usable furnished living area, bedroom, bathroom, garage, and a small garden. However, the exterior is plain and weathered, while significant parts remain unfinished shells, so it feels more like a practical renovation project than a beautiful dream home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- The property is only partly finished, with substantial raw brick-and-concrete areas on the upper levels.
- Interiors are dated and would need modernization, especially the bathroom and kitchen.
- The small garden appears overgrown, and the narrow central-town setting offers little privacy or outdoor appeal.
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 is on the Adriatic coast, with a long sandy shoreline at Petacciato Marina and low coastal hills immediately inland. The Biferno valley lies to the south, and the Trigno is farther north near the Abruzzo border. The nearest larger town is Termoli, which has a port, rail station, services and a walled old centre on the sea. This stretch of coast is known for beaches, agriculture and olive groves on the inland slopes.
