At €65,000 (€631/m²), this habitable 103 m² townhouse is priced well above comparable local homes at about €438/m²; allowing roughly €20,600 for updates brings the effective cost near €831/m². The garage, cellar, fireplace, terrace and furnishings add appeal, but the inland location and premium pricing limit the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable Italian home rather than a renovation shell, with a warm terracotta floor, working-looking fireplace, fitted kitchen, furnished bedrooms, and a terrace. Its character is more cozy and traditional than spectacular, and the dated finishes keep it below dream-home territory.
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.
- Interiors are habitable but noticeably dated, especially the bathroom, kitchen finishes, and upper-level ceilings.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a two-bedroom, 103 sqm home.
- The gallery does not establish a notable view, garden, or substantial outdoor space.
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

The Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park lies within the local area and covers the upland plateau and surrounding forests on the Romagna-Marche border. Monte Carpegna is the main nearby summit and the area is known for hiking, road cycling and winter cross-country skiing on the mountain; the nearest downhill ski lifts are at Eremo Monte Carpegna, a short drive away when operating. Pennabilli is the nearest small centre of note with a historic hilltop core and services, and San Marino is farther away for a larger concentration of shops and employment. The area is known for chestnut woods, pasture and mountain food traditions of the Alta Valmarecchia.
