Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €210,000 (€1,265/m²); even using a modest €200/m² renovation (166 m²) yields an effective €1,464/m² — roughly 3.5× the regional median of €419/m², so this is overpriced. The property is a 2007 terraced house with 26 photos, but the listing omits explicit condition and energy class.
More on the house and the area
Well-presented, move-in-ready three-level townhouse with a pleasant covered portico, small front garden and attractive wood-and-brick exterior. Interiors are tidy and usable now (modern kitchen, two bathrooms, garage) but this is a suburban terraced home rather than a scenic or historic Italian dream villa.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Small private garden / limited outdoor space
- Terraced/condominium layout with shared walls
- No notable views — suburban setting
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 is in the hills around Chieti, between the Maiella massif to the southwest and the Adriatic lowlands to the east. The Pescara river valley is nearby and shapes the built-up corridor toward the coast. The Maiella National Park begins within this wider inland area, with the mountain block clearly present in the local landscape, though the main high-altitude scenery is farther inland. Chieti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, cathedral, Roman remains, museums, and the main services for the area. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, vineyards, and hill farming on ridges facing both the mountains and the sea.
