In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (742 €/m²) with an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€26,400), effective price ≈ €124,400 → ~942 €/m², about 160% above the local median of €363/ m²; the house is habitable and includes a large 110 m² garage, but the listing is priced well above regional comparables and omits building year and energy class.
More on the house and the area
Solid, ready-to-live bifamiliare with attractive marble floors, a very large 110 m² garage and a surrounding garden. Interiors are clean but dated (kitchen, bathroom, finishes) so it’s a comfortable family home that rewards modest modernisation rather than a move‑in designer showpiece.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Dated kitchen and bathroom — cosmetic updating or replacement recommended
- Only one bathroom for a 3‑bed layout
- Located on the main road — possible traffic/noise
- Some ceiling staining visible, may need inspection for damp
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 61/100The cluster sits in the low hills above the Adriatic coast of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic is nearby, with the Costa dei Trabocchi stretch of coast around Vasto and San Salvo as the main coastal reference for daily life. The Sinello valley is close by, and the inland horizon is the Abruzzo Apennine chain on clear days rather than a mountain landscape at the door. Vasto is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services, shops and beaches. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed farmland.
