What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 65 sqm, the ask is €923/sqm; assuming roughly habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €1,123/sqm including ~€200/sqm renovation. That is well above the low internal baseline of €534/sqm for Marche country houses, though the historic medieval setting in Cingoli and the stone character add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
This has real borgo charm: a handsome stone exterior, arched openings, beams, exposed stone inside and a rare private green courtyard in the historic center. Crucially it looks like a genuine livable house, not a shell, with kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and finished rooms already in place. It feels more rustic and slightly tired than turnkey, but at this price it is very easy to dream about living here.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 look dark and a bit cluttered in the photos.
- Kitchen and bathroom are usable but dated rather than polished.
- Garden/courtyard is attractive but currently scruffy and needs tidying.
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 61/100The area sits on the inland Marche hills with long views across the middle Esino valley and toward the Apennine ridge to the west. Cingoli itself is a substantial historic hill town with walls, churches and a built old centre, and it is known as the "Balcone delle Marche" for its elevated position. Lake Cingoli, the artificial reservoir of Castreccioni, lies just below the town and is the main local water feature. The nearest larger town is Jesi, which provides a full range of services and rail connections. This part of inland Marche is known for mixed farming, olive groves and rolling hill landscapes rather than for a single protected landmark within the immediate area.
