Estimated renovation ~€200/m² gives an effective price of €89,000 (≈€593/m²) versus the local median €359/m² — ~65% above typical; the house is habitable, well photographed and 3 km from the sea, but the effective €/m² makes it overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Independent 150 m² home with a huge 50 m² panoramic terrace and real valley/borough views — a very attractive, characterful setting near Lago di Bomba. The apartment is habitable today but cosmetically dated (kitchen/bathrooms), so modest renovations will turn it into a lovely primary home or holiday rental.
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.
- Interior is dated — bathrooms and some finishes need updating.
- Large terrace is exposed and may need maintenance or safety upgrades.
- Typical borgo location — access can be on narrow streets and parking may be limited.
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 51/100The Adriatic coast is within the local area, with the beach strip of San Salvo Marina and the mouth of the Trigno nearby. This is the southern Abruzzo littoral: flat coastal ground backed by low cultivated hills rather than a mountain setting. The nearest larger centre is Vasto, which has a substantial historic town on a bluff above the sea, a marina and everyday services. The area is known for seaside tourism, agriculture on the coastal plain and hill slopes, and the port-industrial zone around the lower coast.
