At €833/m², this is about 53% above the local comparison level of €543/m²; allowing roughly €18,000 for light updating brings the effective cost to about €1,033/m². The prestigious historic building, central position, covered terrace and stated good condition support the price, but the premium leaves limited value upside.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable 90 sqm apartment in a prestigious historic building, with a large covered terrace and a small green garden area. The rooms are spacious and furnished, with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating system, and an attractive rustic-stone detail, but the overall look is dated rather than dream-home beautiful.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 fully usable but visibly dated, especially the bathroom, wood paneling, furnishings, and suspended ceilings.
- The listing does not clearly show the full covered terrace, upper terrace, building exterior, or access arrangements.
- No notable sea, mountain, or valley view is demonstrated in the photos.
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 72/100Fossombrone lies on the Metauro river where the Apennine foothills descend to the coastal plain. The Riserva Naturale Statale Gola del Furlo (Furlo Gorge) and the Candigliano river are within a few kilometres north of the town, and the Roman-era Via Flaminia runs through the gorge. The landscape within about 15 km is river valley, small agricultural plots and wooded Apennine foothills. There are no ski lifts within 15 km; Apennine ski areas such as Monte Nerone and Monte Catria are further inland. The nearest cities of size are Pesaro on the Adriatic (regional train services, beaches, larger hospitals and services) and Urbino, a Renaissance hill town with a university and the Ducal Palace (Urbino's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site). The area is known primarily for the Gola del Furlo nature reserve and the historical route of the Via Flaminia.
