At €58,920, the estimated all-in cost is about €80,520, or €821/m²—roughly 51% above the local €543/m² benchmark. It is described as habitable with autonomous heating, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has and provides only a very brief description.
More on the house and the area
The apartment looks bright, recently renovated, and genuinely move-in ready, with a stylish kitchen, polished flooring, modern bathroom, and generous 98 sqm of space. At €58,920, it appears to offer strong value, but the generic apartment-block setting and lack of a memorable view limit the dream-home appeal.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 listing reports 0 bathrooms despite photos showing a finished bathroom; verify the actual layout and legal records.
- The exterior shows a dense, aging apartment block rather than a distinctive Italian setting.
- No balcony, garden, or meaningful view is clearly established from the gallery.
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 56/100The area is in the inland hills between the Metauro valley and the lower Cesano valley, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, woods and scattered villages. The Metauro river system is the main natural feature nearby. Fossombrone is the nearest larger town, with services and a substantial historic centre. Within this part of inland Pesaro e Urbino the area is known for rolling agricultural countryside and small hill settlements rather than for a single standout natural monument.
