At €20,100, renovation at roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €736/m², far above the local €229/m² benchmark. The size is inconsistent—562 m² in the listing data versus 422 m² in the description—and converting an ex-school building into a dwelling requires verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial former school with a large courtyard and a somewhat imposing two-storey facade, but it lacks the charm, views, or distinctive historic details that create a strong dream-home effect. The interior is usable as enclosed space but clearly institutional and worn, with visible damp and no listed bathrooms, so it is primarily a major conversion project rather than a ready 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€111,000 – €197,000
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.

- Former school requiring substantial renovation rather than a move-in home.
- No bathrooms are listed, and the photos show institutional interiors with damp, peeling finishes.
- The very large 562 sqm footprint may bring significant heating, maintenance, and conversion costs.
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 is in the lower Valmarecchia, with the Apennine foothills immediately around it and Monte Carpegna and the Alpe della Luna massif within the wider 15 km landscape. The Marecchia valley is the main river corridor nearby. San Leo is the nearest notable small town, with its fortress on a limestone outcrop and a preserved historic centre. Novafeltria is the nearest town of size in the valley, with everyday services and shops. This part of Valmarecchia is known for eroded clay hills, wheat fields, pasture and scattered hill villages on rock spurs.
