What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ~€950/m² (€90k + est. €24k renovation on 120 m² = €114k) versus regional median ~€337/m², so this is well above the local baseline; the listing text claims 220 m² while the facts show 120 m², which is a significant contradiction.
More on the house and the area
A solid, partially-renovated farmhouse with intact roofs, barns and a sweeping panoramic view over olive groves — plus up to a hectare of land, only ~6 km from the sea, so strong potential as a lived-in home or B&B. Condition is usable but not turnkey: expect finishing, site clearance and renovation of outdoor features (pool/outbuildings) and to verify exact areas and separate lots.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Advertised as 'semi-ristrutturato' — the house looks structurally sound but needs clearing, finishing works and modernization.
- The pool appears disused/dismantled and outbuildings/yard are cluttered — expect extra work/expense.
- Several building plots/areas are mentioned as sold separately — confirm exact boundaries, usable sqm and legal/title details before offer.
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 in the lower Sangro valley near the Adriatic coast, with cultivated rolling hills and the Sangro River forming the main natural feature inland. The Costa dei Trabocchi is nearby, with rocky and pebbly shoreline sections around Fossacesia and Torino di Sangro within about 15 km. The Lecceta di Torino di Sangro Regional Nature Reserve protects a stretch of coastal woodland and beach at the river mouth. Lanciano is the nearest substantial town, with a historic centre and full daily services. This part of the coast is known for trabocchi fishing structures and for vineyards and olive groves.
