What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 250 sqm, the ask is €392/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €592/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €317/sqm in Marche villas. The house is large and immediately usable, but on these numbers it is not a clear bargain; the deposit/cellar spaces also likely dilute the headline €/sqm.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid, immediately habitable house at a very low price for 250 sqm, but it feels practical rather than dreamy. The brick facade has some rustic appeal, yet the interiors are plain, dated, and lack standout character or scenery. It looks usable now, with bathrooms, kitchen and finished rooms already in place, but the wow factor is modest.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 very basic and dated, with little character.
- Some visible wear and patching suggests cosmetic refresh is needed.
- No view, garden, or special outdoor space is shown.
- Listing photos do not show the deposit/cellar spaces in usable detail.
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 82/100The area sits in the inland hills of Montefeltro, with a folded landscape of ridges, small valleys and cultivated slopes. Urbino itself is a Renaissance hill town with the Palazzo Ducale, the cathedral and a large preserved historic centre, and its centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the same hill area are other historic centres tied to Montefeltro, including Urbania and Fermignano on the Metauro system. The nearest stretch of Adriatic coast is around Pesaro and Fano, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for the court of Federico da Montefeltro, Renaissance urban history, and the University of Urbino.
