At €49,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €612/sqm; with light post-renovation allowance (~€100/sqm), the effective cost is about €712/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €394/sqm, so it looks expensive for this area/type. The description and 15 photos support that it is usable and recently improved (roof/gutters), but the remote hilly location adds limited value.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable village house rather than a shell: solid rooms, timber-beam ceilings, a decorative fireplace, bathroom in place, and recent roof works all help. The charm is modest rather than spectacular, with a plain facade and dated finishes, but at €49k it feels like a practical, refreshable foothill home with some character.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and patchy rather than picturesque.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, with an old bathroom and no fitted kitchen shown.
- AI-staged images exaggerate the finished look.
- No meaningful view or outdoor living space is proven in the photos.
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 site is in the first Apennine hills of Romagna, with wooded ridges and cultivated valleys around the Bidente river system. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby to the south-west, with the main high forest and mountain area around Campigna roughly 15 km away. Santa Sofia is the nearest small town of some size and has everyday services; Forlì is the main city for higher-order services. This part of Romagna is known for hill villages, chestnut woods and the roads that climb from the plain into the Apennines.
