What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€357/m²), the house needs a complete internal renovation; with estimated works of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,057/m² versus €386/m² for comparable local stock. The recently renovated roof and façade, garage, garden, and 15 photos add value, but the remote location and unspecified construction details weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
A beautiful stone country house with a recently renovated roof and facade, mature greenery, private garden, and a striking mountain backdrop. However, the 140 m² interior needs complete renovation, making this a characterful restoration project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.
- The interior requires a complete renovation, so this is not currently a move-in-ready home.
- The photos do not show finished living spaces, kitchen, or bathroom condition beyond the stated single bath.
- Rural mountain access, utilities, and renovation costs should be verified.
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 cluster is in the Valmarecchia, in the northern Apennines near the border with Tuscany and Marche. The Marecchia river valley is the main landscape feature here, with wooded slopes, pasture and cultivated clearings around small hill settlements. The Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park lies nearby to the south-east, with the limestone table mountains of Sasso Simone and Simoncello within the local area. Monte Fumaiolo, source area of the Tiber, is also nearby in the same Apennine sector. The nearest larger town for services is Novafeltria in the valley, while Sansepolcro and Rimini are the main bigger centres used from this part of the upper valley. The area is known for upland Apennine scenery, borderland hill villages and routes through the upper Marecchia valley.
