What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Cielo-terra townhouse at €452/m2 vs €467/m2 baseline (n=555, solid), so priced slightly below median. Needs full interior renovation but structural post-seismic work already done on roof, floors, and load-bearing walls—significant de-risking. Fresh listing (3 days), 24 photos, habitable-category A/3, autonomous gas heating, cellar, fireplace. Discrepancy: 124 m2 in the listing vs ~130 m2 stated, and 47 m2 attic likely non-habitable inflating total. Renovation ~€700/m2 for finishes/systems given structure is sound. Below-median price plus completed structural work makes this a reasonably good deal with upside.
More on the house and the area
Cielo-terra townhouse in Tolentino historic center (Marche), 124 sqm across 3 floors plus attic. Exterior photos show a tired, peeling facade with graffiti on a narrow cobbled alley with scaffolding and road-closed signs — unremarkable and slightly grim. Interiors are gutted/derelict: bare plaster, exposed beam ceilings (some charm), old cotto floors, a rough attic, and dated pink-tile bathroom. The only mild appeal is the historic-center character and beamed ceilings, but nothing here is a scroll-stopper. Low price (€452/m²) reflects the heavy renovation needed rather than delivering a bargain wow. Ordinary-to-poor visual impact; a renovation project with no standout stunning or view features.
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€24,000 – €44,000
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.

The area around
Location score 62/100The cluster lies in the Chienti valley, with the Sibillini Mountains visible to the west and the first Apennine relief beginning within this radius. The Chienti river runs through the area. The nearest substantial town is Macerata, which has a university, a walled historic centre and the Sferisterio. Tolentino itself has the Basilica di San Nicola and the Castello della Rancia just outside the town. This part of inland Marche is known for mixed farmland, rolling foothills and small historic centres along the valleys leading up toward the Sibillini.
