What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €514/m², the €55,000 asking price is about 21% above the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €425/m² before renovation, and the unknown condition warrants a conservative €700/m² allowance. Central historic setting and proximity to the sea (5 km) support the value, but the listing does not establish habitability or renovation status.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial three-level historic townhouse with a distinctive mural facade, stone detailing, balconies, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a functioning kitchen. It is not move-in polished—bathrooms, finishes, stairs, and furnishings are dated—but it appears genuinely habitable rather than a renovation shell. At €55,000 for roughly 107 square meters in a characterful Abruzzo village, the value is a major part of the appeal.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but very dated and cluttered, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- Visible damp/staining and worn stair finishes should be inspected carefully.
- The balconies and facade appear older and may need maintenance or safety checks.
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 lies on rolling inland hills a short distance from the Adriatic coast, with the Sangro valley to the south and the Maiella massif visible inland in clear weather but not within the immediate landscape radius. The nearest coast is the Trabocchi stretch of the Adriatic around San Vito Chietino and Fossacesia, with coves, low cliffs and old fishing platforms. The nearest town of size is Lanciano itself, which has a substantial historic centre, a cathedral, and the well-known Eucharistic Miracle sanctuary. The area is known for mixed farming, olive groves and vineyards, with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine and olive oil in the wider surroundings.
