In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €76,000, the estimated effective cost is about €693/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, substantially above the local €467/m² benchmark. The description indicates a usable multi-level townhouse with two bathrooms, cellar and heating, but it is in a rural hamlet 30 km from the sea and offers no clear value discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable 153 sqm townhouse with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, heating, and solid tiled interiors. Its standout feature is the dramatic mountain-and-valley panorama from the upper windows, complemented by traditional wooden shutters, doors, and village character. At €76,000, the size and view create strong value, although the home is more charming than polished and lacks a clearly shown outdoor space.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 habitable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The home is spread over several levels with a potentially awkward stair layout.
- No private garden or terrace is shown, and the exterior condition/utilities should be checked.
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 58/100The area is in the first Apennine hills of Romagna, with cultivated slopes, small woods and the Savio valley nearby. The Savio river runs through Mercato Saraceno and shapes the local valley landscape. Cesena is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of Romagna is known for mixed farming, vineyards and hill villages rather than for a single dominant landmark.
