What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €42,150 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €856/m², well above the local reference of €543/m². The listing mentions no bathrooms and provides only five photos, so the scope and final cost remain uncertain.
More on the house and the area
The apartment has generous 270 sqm, attractive wood floors, bright rooms, and broad urban-and-hills views, while the historic facade adds some character. However, the stated renovation need and missing kitchen/bathroom confirmation make its real move-in condition uncertain, so it reads more as a potentially impressive project than a ready 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€53,000 – €95,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Listing says it needs renovation despite polished-looking interior photos.
- No kitchen is shown, and the facts list zero bathrooms.
- The gallery appears inconsistent: modern apartment interiors are paired with a much older, weathered facade.
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 58/100The area is in the lower Metauro valley, with cultivated hills and river terraces around the Metauro River. The nearest stretch of Adriatic coast is around Fano. Fossombrone is the nearest larger town inland, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Fano is the main coastal town for daily needs and rail links. Within this part of inland Pesaro e Urbino the landscape is known for mixed farming, rolling hills and small historic villages rather than for a single protected or nationally famous feature.
