What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 45 sqm, the ask is about €1,733/sqm; assuming roughly habitable condition from the description, effective cost is about €1,933/sqm including light works. That is far above the local baseline of €464/sqm, and while the flat garden plus cellar/garage are positives, they do not bridge such a large gap.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, usable small home rather than a dream property. The photos show a furnished, livable interior with heating, a fireplace and bedrooms in place, but the overall look is basic and dated. The wooded garden area adds some appeal, yet there is little visual wow and the exterior feels tired.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Very plain exterior and interiors with little character
- Needs cosmetic updating and likely some exterior maintenance
- No real views or standout setting shown 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 74/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines on Monte Carpegna, with wooded slopes and high ground around the village. The Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park lies within the local area and covers the upland plateau and surrounding forests on the Romagna-Marche border. Monte Carpegna is the main nearby summit and the area is known for hiking, road cycling and winter cross-country skiing on the mountain; the nearest downhill ski lifts are at Eremo Monte Carpegna, a short drive away when operating. Pennabilli is the nearest small centre of note with a historic hilltop core and services, and San Marino is farther away for a larger concentration of shops and employment. The area is known for chestnut woods, pasture and mountain food traditions of the Alta Valmarecchia.
