See what needs doing and what each job costs
I estimate renovation at €600/m² → renovation ≈ €114,000 so effective price ≈ €209,000 (~€1,100/m²) versus the regional median €363/m²; despite central location and 31 photos, the high renovation need makes it overpriced and the ad's “parzialmente ristrutturata” wording contradicts the listed condition.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, large town house with authentic exposed brick vaults and charming period details; interiors are already largely fitted (kitchen, bathrooms) so it reads as a usable home with cosmetic/upgrading work. Centrally located and good value for the size, but expect some renovation and limited outdoor space.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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.

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 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.
