In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €500/m², the asking price is about 38% above the €363/m² local benchmark; allowing roughly €30,000 for habitable-home updates brings the effective cost to about €700/m². The two independent levels, private courtyard, nearby services and 20 photos support livability, but the premium is not compelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely habitable 150 sqm home with two kitchens, two bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, and a private courtyard. It has pleasant traditional details such as shutters, tiled floors, and an old entrance door, but the interiors are ordinary and dated, with no notable views or standout architectural feature.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 clearly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The property is semi-independent, with two levels and separate entrances; internal connection may need work.
- No energy class or heating-system details are provided.
- Urban setting offers little privacy or scenic outlook beyond the small private courtyard.
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 is in the hills around Chieti, with the Maiella massif visible inland and the Adriatic coast around Pescara and Francavilla al Mare within about 15 km. The Pescara River runs nearby at the foot of the Chieti hill. Chieti is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre on a ridge, Roman remains including a theatre, museums and the usual full set of services. The Maiella National Park is farther inland and does not fall inside the immediate area. This part of Abruzzo is known for cultivated hills with olive groves and vineyards between the Apennine foothills and the coast.
