In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €304/m², the headline price matches comparable local stock, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable home brings the effective cost to about €504/m², or €141,000 total—well above the €306/m² comparison level. The rent-to-buy transfer terms require careful verification, and the listing data says 280 m² while the description says 250 m².
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious farmhouse with multiple bedrooms, working kitchens, fireplaces, exposed beams, stone details, and traditional terrazzo-style floors. It feels like a real family home rather than a renovation shell, although the décor is dated and the garage/storage areas are utilitarian. The claimed land and outbuildings could add substantial appeal, but they are not visually documented 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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- The home appears habitable but interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is listed for five bedrooms and roughly 250–280 sqm.
- The advertised rent-to-own arrangement and property documentation should be carefully verified.
- No exterior, garden, or landscape views are shown in the gallery.
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 lies in the inland Marche hills on the Candigliano valley, with the Umbria-Marche Apennines rising nearby. The Furlo Gorge on the Candigliano River is within the area, with limestone walls and the Gola del Furlo State Nature Reserve. Acqualagna is known nationally for truffles. Urbino, the nearest major historic town, is close enough for regular use and has a large Renaissance centre with UNESCO status.
