What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €633/m², the asking price is already 39% above the Abruzzo country-house baseline of €456/m²; assuming €700/m² for an unspecified-condition renovation, effective cost rises to about €1,267/m². The historic-center position, panoramic view, garage and terrace add value, but the missing condition and renovation scope make this only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine historic Atri character, traditional tiled roofs, a large rooftop terrace and a surprisingly broad panoramic valley view toward the coast. However, the interior is currently a raw, supported shell with a basic bathroom, damaged ceilings and no finished living accommodation, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home today.
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.
- The interior appears to be a rough, partially unfinished workshop/storage space rather than a move-in-ready home.
- Ceiling damage, extensive damp/staining, exposed masonry and structural props indicate substantial renovation.
- The large roof terrace has visibly worn waterproofing and may require urgent technical inspection; no finished kitchen is 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.
