What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
As described, this is a 90 sqm house with living space plus two basement rooms used as warehouse/cellar; using a modest habitable-cost estimate of about €200/m², the effective price is roughly €63,000 (€700/m²). The local baseline is weak (only 5 comps, median €576/m²), so this looks only ordinary to slightly expensive rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
The village setting is attractive, with stone lanes and a bell tower beside a freshly restored house facade. It looks structurally sound and genuinely livable now, with finished rooms, heating and a fireplace, but the interiors are simple rather than dreamy and the kitchen/bath setup needs improvement for full comfort. At €45k, it has real bargain appeal as a usable base in a charming Marche borgo.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 clean but very plain and mostly empty.
- Kitchen appears unfinished or missing fitted units.
- Only one basic bathroom is shown.
- Cellar/storage spaces are rough and need tidying/work.
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 81/100The Sibillini Mountains rise immediately around Montefortino, with Monte Sibilla and the massif of the Monti Sibillini within the local landscape. The area lies in the Monti Sibillini National Park. A short drive leads up toward the mountain roads and trailheads around Pintura di Bolognola and the Sassotetto area, which are the nearest ski areas in this part of the range. The nearest larger town with a fuller set of shops and services is Ascoli Piceno, while Amandola is the small local service centre for the upper valley. This part of the Sibillini is known for high limestone ridges, upland pastures, gorges and mountain walking.
