What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €571/m², the house is already 25% above the Abruzzo country-house baseline of €456/m²; allowing roughly €300/m² for unspecified interior condition raises the effective cost to about €871/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid, photogenic country house with a traditional tiled roof, balcony, mature greenery, and a substantial olive-grove plot. The working utilities and newer double-glazed windows suggest it is a real usable home rather than a renovation shell, though the interiors are unshown and likely need updating.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 140 sqm, seven-room house.
- Interior condition and layout are not shown; the exterior appears maintained but dated.
- The 1,800 sqm olive-growing/buildable land may require verification of planning and development rights.
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.
