See what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → renovation ≈ €55,300; effective price ≈ €83,300 or ≈ €1,054/m² versus regional median €423/m², so the total cost is well above local norms. The listing gives 79 m² (64 m² usable) and 20 photos, but the high restoration cost makes this a weak value despite the low asking price.
More on the house and the area
A compact, lived-in semi-detached house with a character fireplace, arched niche and pleasant distant countryside/mountain views. The interior is functional and habitable but the exterior and finishes need renovation — excellent low price and the option to buy a nearby 1,100 m² building plot makes this a strong bargain for someone ready to improve it.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property is small (1 bedroom, 79 m² commercial / 64 m² usable) — limited living space.
- Listed as 'needs renovation' — some updating of finishes, windows and systems likely required.
- Check utilities/energy class details and local rules if you plan to buy the adjacent building plot.
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 54/100The area sits on the lower hills between the Adriatic coast and the Abruzzo Apennine foothills, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, olive groves and scattered villages. The Fino River valley is nearby, and the Saline river system is also part of the local drainage toward the coast. Montesilvano and Pescara are the nearest larger urban centres, with full services, rail links, hospitals and the airport. The Gran Sasso massif is visible in the wider regional backdrop on clear days but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of inland Pescara province is known for olive growing and mixed farming.
