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
Estimated renovation €600/m² → renovation total €54,000; effective price ≈ €83,000 or ≈€922/m², well above the regional median of €363/m². The interior needs renovation though the exterior and heating exist; the listing states energy class G while the energy field is missing (contradiction).
More on the house and the area
A compact, authentic borgo house with original patterned floor tiles, a brick fireplace and a small balcony/roof terrace — the exterior and period details are quite charming. The building is intact, has heating and a basement bathroom, so it’s a realistic liveable project, but it needs internal renovation and modernization. Great value for the price if you want a workable seaside-vicinity holiday home.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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.

The area around
Location score 62/100The area lies on the Adriatic coastal plain and low hills of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic coast is a few kilometres away, with the long beach at Casalbordino Lido and the wider Costa dei Trabocchi stretch running along this part of the Chieti shoreline. The Sinello valley is nearby, and the Punta Aderci area by Vasto, with protected coastal landscape and trabocchi fishing structures, is within the local coastal zone to the south. Vasto is the nearest larger town, with services, a historic centre and a marina. This part of the coast is known for beaches, cultivated hills and trabocchi on the shore.
