At €583/m², this is already slightly above the local €543/m² benchmark; allowing about €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to roughly €783/m². The garage, cellar, terrace, heating and strong documentation support the listing, but there is no meaningful price discount.
More on the house and the area
A solid-looking, colorful town house with balconies, terraces, a small garden, and a genuinely appealing mountain-and-rooftop setting. It appears to be a real, roofed home rather than a shell, but the interiors are basic and somewhat neglected, so it is more of a practical renovation opportunity than a dream home.
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 – €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.
- Interiors are sparsely photographed and look dated, cluttered, and in need of refreshing.
- Visible wall cracks and exterior deterioration should be checked structurally and for damp.
- The listing reports no bathrooms, so bathroom provision and working utilities need verification.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Esino valley with the Marche Apennine foothills close by, and the mountains around Monte San Vicino and Monte Canfaito are within the local landscape. The Esino river runs through this part of the valley. Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi Regional Natural Park lies nearby, and the Frasassi karst area is within the same inland system. The nearest substantial town is Fabriano, which has a large historic centre, rail links and museums tied to paper-making. This area is known for the Frasassi caves, for Fabriano paper, and for mixed hill and valley countryside at the edge of the Apennines.
