See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 (€422/m²), the house is cheap to buy, but interior renovation likely adds about €63,000, bringing the effective cost near €1,120/m² versus a local benchmark of €335/m². New roof and façades, Urbino proximity, and 12 photos help, but the listing gives 80 m² while the figures state 90 m² and confirms substantial interior work is needed.
More on the house and the area
A modest two-storey borgo house with some appealing character, including a fireplace, terrazzo floors and exposed wooden ceilings, plus the attractive advantage of a new roof and façades. However, the interiors are clearly tired and require substantial renovation before comfortable full-time living, so the low price is the main attraction rather than a finished 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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Substantial interior renovation is required, including walls, finishes, kitchen and likely bathroom systems.
- Signs of damp, peeling plaster and deterioration are visible inside.
- No meaningful view, garden or outdoor living area is shown; the home fronts directly onto a shared paved borgo area.
- Utilities, structural condition and roof performance should be verified despite the description stating that the roof and façades are new.
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 81/100The area sits in the inland hills of Montefeltro, with a farmed ridge-and-valley landscape that becomes more broken toward the Apennines. Urbino itself is a walled hill town with a large Renaissance historic centre and the Ducal Palace; the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within this radius are other hill centres tied to the Montefeltro landscape, including Fermignano on the Metauro valley and Urbania upstream. The nearest larger services are in Urbino itself, which has university functions, shops and daily services. This part of Marche is known for its Renaissance and Montefeltro historical landscape rather than for coast or high mountains at the doorstep.
