The asking price is very low at €142/m² versus roughly €255/m² for comparable Marche homes, but a habitable 505 m² villa still implies about €200/m² of ongoing works, bringing the effective cost to approximately €342/m². The listing does not state the number of bathrooms, energy class, or construction year, which limits confidence.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional Marche farmhouse with a handsome, weathered exterior, mature trees, and a large open field gives this property genuine countryside appeal. It is described as habitable and includes heating, garage, cellar, balcony, and terrace, but the lack of interior imagery makes livability and actual finish quality uncertain. At €71,887, the scale and land are impressive, though this feels more like a characterful rural base than a polished dream home.
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€33,000 – €56,000
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 verified.
- The facts list zero bathrooms, which needs clarification before purchase.
- The very large 505 sqm property and surrounding land may involve substantial maintenance and renovation costs.
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 56/100Adriatic coast with sandy beaches, a small harbour and marina at the town; the Metauro river reaches the sea here. Immediate surroundings are a low coastal plain with agriculture (vineyards, olive groves, orchards) and gentle hills to the west. Within about 15 km are small hill towns and coastal frazioni such as Mondolfo and Marotta and stretches of continuous coastal development. The town has a historic centre with Roman remains (Arco d'Augusto) and medieval walls and hosts the long-running Carnevale di Fano. The A14 motorway and the Adriatic rail line run close to the town, providing regional road and rail connections.
