What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Using €700/m² for renovation gives an effective price ≈€415,000 (≈€922/m²) versus the local median of €424/m², so this is well above typical local costs. The listing also conflicts on area (description says 350 m² while the facts list 450 m²) and omits building year and energy class.
More on the house and the area
A big, solid town‑centre house with very large rooms, balconies and a terrace with views toward the Gran Sasso — great location and lots of usable space. Structurally intact and clearly livable after works, but the interiors are dated and will need renovation to bring it up to modern standards.
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€89,000 – €158,000
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.

- Needs renovation — interiors are dated and require updating
- Some rooms/showers look original (1970s/80s) and will need modernisation
- Large property means higher ongoing maintenance and renovation cost
- Central piazza location can be lively/noisy at times
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 53/100The cluster sits in the lower hills between the Tordino and Vomano valleys, with a farmed landscape of olive groves, fields and scattered villages. The Gran Sasso and the Monti della Laga are visible inland on clear days, but they are beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The Adriatic coast is outside the radius, with the nearest beaches around Giulianova. Teramo is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and the provincial administrative centre.
