What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €44,000 asking price is €383/m², already above the local €259/m² benchmark, while the 115 m² main house still needs new systems, floors, ceilings and internal reconfiguration. With estimated renovation costs of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,083/m²; the completed roof and façade are positives, but not enough to offset the heavy interior work.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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.
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 74/100The area sits in the upper Chienti valley in the eastern foothills of the Sibillini Mountains. Lake Caccamo is at Caldarola, and the Monti Sibillini National Park begins a short distance to the west around Belforte del Chienti, Camporotondo di Fiastrone and the Fiastra side valleys. Lake Fiastra is within this radius, with the wooded slopes and limestone massifs that lead up toward Monte Bove and the higher Sibillini farther west. Sarnano is the nearest small centre of note, with a preserved historic core, and the Sassotetto ski lifts are above it at roughly half an hour by road. Tolentino is the nearest larger town, with everyday services and rail connections. The area is known for hill villages, artificial lakes in the valleys, and access into the Sibillini foothill landscape.
