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 €80,000 (€571/m²), the asking price already exceeds the Abruzzo baseline of €358/m²; with approximately €600/m² renovation, effective cost is about €1,171/m². Working systems and new double-glazed windows help, but the property is not near the sea and the value of the 1,800 m² buildable/olive-grove land is unclear, especially since it may be purchased separately.
More on the house and the area
A solid independent countryside house with a pleasant traditional exterior, balcony, mature greenery, and a substantial 1,800 m² olive-grove/buildable plot. The working utilities and newer double-glazed windows suggest a usable home rather than a ruin, but renovation is still needed and the lack of interior photos limits confidence.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs renovation, though the roof and exterior appear generally sound.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so the interior condition and layout are unverified.
- The property has a sloping driveway and substantial outdoor paving that may need maintenance.
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 58/100The cluster sits on the lower hills between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic, in the farmed ridge-and-valley landscape typical of inland Chieti. The Foro and Alento valleys are part of the local terrain, and the Maiella is the main mountain presence within this radius. The nearest larger town is Chieti, which has a substantial historic centre and daily services; Pescara is also close for major retail, rail links and the airport, but outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed hill farming.
