See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €39,000 asking price is close to the local €467/m² benchmark, but estimated renovation costs of about €56,000 raise the effective cost to roughly €1,188/m². The two bathrooms, parking, 200 m² of land and substantial storage add value, but the inland location and renovation burden make this only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
A traditional two-storey townhouse with tiled roof, shutters, fireplace, furnished interiors, and a green garden/stone-walled outdoor area. The rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and roof appear functional rather than derelict, but the dated finishes and visible exterior wear mean this is a renovation project—not a move-in-ready dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The house is usable and furnished, but the listing explicitly says it needs renovation.
- Visible exterior cracking, weathering, and roof-edge deterioration should be checked carefully.
- It fronts directly onto a sloping public road, and the property’s energy performance is unknown.
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 Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park, in the Monte Carpegna area of the northern Apennines. Monte Carpegna rises directly above the area, and the Alpe della Luna ridge is nearby on the Marche-Tuscany border. The Marecchia valley is close by, and the Adriatic coast around Rimini is farther away but not part of the immediate landscape. The nearest ski lifts are the small lifts on Monte Carpegna, about 10 minutes from the town when operating. The nearest larger town is Urbino, which has a university, major Renaissance monuments, and UNESCO status for its historic centre. The area is known for beech woods, upland pastures, mushrooms, and prosciutto di Carpegna DOP.
