The asking price is attractive at €210/m², but estimating €200/m² for a habitable property puts the effective cost near €410/m², substantially above the local €255/m² benchmark. The villa has strong amenities and 33 photos, but the listing does not state the number of bathrooms or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, roofed and apparently habitable villa with heating, garage, balcony and a terrace overlooking attractive rolling countryside. It lacks distinctive historic character or a photogenic exterior, while the interiors feel functional but dated and cluttered rather than dreamlike.
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€21,000 – €36,000
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.
- Interiors are heavily cluttered and dated, with likely cosmetic modernization needed.
- No bathroom or kitchen is clearly shown in the gallery.
- The large terrace appears usable but has a very plain, weathered finish.
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 71/100The area sits in the middle Metauro valley, with cultivated hills and low ridges at the edge of the northern Marche Apennine foothills. The Metauro river runs through Fossombrone. The Furlo Gorge and the State Nature Reserve of Gola del Furlo are within this radius, where the Metauro cuts between steep limestone walls on the way toward the inland ranges. Urbino is the nearest major historic town and has the Ducal Palace and UNESCO World Heritage status. This part of the province is known for rolling farmland, river valleys, and the transition from Adriatic-side hills to the Apennine interior.
