Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €350/m², the asking price looks low, but the description presents the house as a solution to customize; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,050/m² versus €454 locally. Its central Casalbordino location and 200 m² size help, but the actual condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly large, fully furnished 200 sqm town house with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, heating, balconies, a fireplace, and a small private courtyard. It appears immediately usable but decidedly old-fashioned, and the main appeal is exceptional space and value near the Adriatic coast rather than dramatic beauty or a postcard setting.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 and bathrooms are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The four-level layout means extensive stairs and may be inconvenient for some residents.
- The exterior is plain and urban, with only a small courtyard rather than substantial private land.
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 the Adriatic coastal plain and low hills of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic coast is a few kilometres away, with the long beach at Casalbordino Lido and the wider Costa dei Trabocchi stretch running along this part of the Chieti shoreline. The Sinello valley is nearby, and the Punta Aderci area by Vasto, with protected coastal landscape and trabocchi fishing structures, is within the local coastal zone to the south. Vasto is the nearest larger town, with services, a historic centre and a marina. This part of the coast is known for beaches, cultivated hills and trabocchi on the shore.
