In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€462/m²), this habitable 171 m² villa has an estimated effective cost of about €662/m² after allowing for normal upkeep, well above the local €363/m² benchmark. Garden, garage, storage and 20 photos add value, but it has only one bathroom and the listing does not state the construction year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable Abruzzo stone house with attractive green shutters, a balcony, fireplace, intact roof and a surprisingly generous garden. The interiors are old-fashioned rather than stylish, but the home is furnished, functional and clearly livable without a major reconstruction. At €79,000 for 171 sqm with land near the coast, it has strong dream-home value for someone who appreciates authentic village character.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€11,000 – €19,000
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 are fully usable but quite dated and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large five-bedroom home.
- The house fronts a public road, so the setting is not completely private.
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 61/100The cluster sits on the low hills between the Adriatic coast and the first rises toward the Maiella massif, with the mountain range visible in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Foro river runs nearby and reaches the Adriatic at Francavilla al Mare. Within roughly 15 km are the coast at Francavilla al Mare and Ortona, with beaches and a working port. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services, a university presence and museums. The area is known for vineyards and olive groves in the coastal hills, including Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine production.
