What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€462/m²), this house needs renovation, estimated at about €700/m², giving an effective cost near €1,162/m² versus the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €425/m². The sea view and 1 km distance add appeal, but not enough to offset the renovation-adjusted premium.
More on the house and the area
The sea view from the upper terrace and the 130 sqm size are the clear attractions, with a fireplace, tiled floors, two bathrooms, and usable outdoor courts. This is a solid, roofed townhouse rather than a ruin, but it needs meaningful renovation before it becomes a comfortable home, especially in the kitchen and damp-affected areas.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including plastering, repainting, and likely electrical/plumbing updates.
- The kitchen appears unfinished or missing, and some rooms show damp, stains, and deteriorated finishes.
- The home has multiple outdoor steps and no obvious car-accessible entrance or dedicated parking shown.
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.
