What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€400/m²), the price is only slightly above the Abruzzo baseline of €358/m², but renovation brings the estimated effective cost to about €165,000, or €1,100/m². The historic-center setting, terraces, panoramic view and garage add appeal, but do not offset the substantial renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clearly usable 150 m² house with multiple living spaces, a functional kitchen, heating, and an appealing collection of vintage details. However, it feels dated rather than beautiful, and the main selling points—terraces and panoramic views—are not demonstrated in the photos. It is a promising renovation home, not yet a dream-ready residence.
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.
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 area around
Location score 53/100The area sits in the low hills between the Pescara River basin and the Adriatic side of Abruzzo, with a landscape of cultivated slopes, olive groves and scattered villages. The Pescara River runs to the north of Pianella, and the foothill mass of the Maiella is visible farther inland but not within the immediate 15 km landscape. Chieti and Pescara are the nearest larger centres, with full services, rail links, hospitals and retail areas. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive oil and wine production.
