What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €124/m², the €42,646 price for 344 m² remains about €324/m² after allowing roughly €68,800 for habitable-condition works, well below the €559 local benchmark. Heating and a kitchen are mentioned and 22 photos support the opportunity, but the description is extremely sparse and lists no bathrooms or energy information.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic, substantial villa with warm stucco, brick-trimmed windows, terracotta roofs, a deep covered porch, and lush green surroundings. The facts describe it as habitable with heating and a kitchen, making it potentially a real home rather than a restoration shell, but the absence of interiors and the unclear bathroom situation significantly reduce confidence.
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€23,000 – €38,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be independently verified.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, which needs urgent clarification despite mentioning a kitchen and autonomous heating.
- This is an auction listing, and several aerial/location images appear illustrative rather than property-specific.
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 85/100The cluster lies inside the Monti Sibillini, an Apennine sub-range with several summits above 2,400 m including Monte Vettore (2,476 m) within the local 15 km radius. Lago di Pilato, a small glacial lake beneath Monte Vettore, is in the same massif and reachable from the Visso area. The site falls within the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini; Visso hosts one of the park's visitor centres/administrative offices. Mountain roads and marked trails lead from Visso up into the park; downhill skiing in the Sibillini uses small, local facilities on the massif and requires driving on mountain roads in winter. Visso was heavily damaged in the 2016–17 central Italy earthquakes and reconstruction work has affected the town and surrounding villages. Neighbouring larger towns outside the 15 km radius include Camerino and Norcia, which provide more extensive services. The area is part of Apennine mountain pastoral and mountain-agriculture territory, with chestnut woods, pastureland and small-scale local food production typical of the Sibillini.
