See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €67,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€39,900) the effective price is ≈€1,875/m² versus the local median of €363/m², so this is well above typical sub‑€100k comparables. The house is in a prime coastal town (1 km from the sea) and has 16 photos and small outplots, but the high effective €/m² drives the low score.
More on the house and the area
Charming stone/brick facade, decorative doorway and authentic vaulted ceilings give this ground-floor apartment real character, and photos show pleasant countryside views with the Adriatic coastline very close (about 1 km). The layout is immediately usable but dated — a sensible refresh of finishes, services and heating would turn it into a lovely coastal home or holiday let.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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 84/100The cluster is on the Costa dei Trabocchi, the stretch of Adriatic coast south of Ortona marked by low cliffs, small coves and the traditional fishing platforms called trabocchi. The Adriatic is at the door, with beaches and rocky shoreline around San Vito Chietino and the seafront settlements of Marina di San Vito and nearby Fossacesia Marina within the same coastal strip. The route of the former railway along the shore is now the Via Verde Costa dei Trabocchi cycle path. The nearest larger town is Lanciano inland, which has a substantial historic centre and services. Ortona lies to the north on the same coast. The Maiella massif is visible inland in clear weather but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for its trabocchi and for the Costa dei Trabocchi coastline.
