In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 plus an estimated €12,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,517/m²—well above the €650/m² local comparison level. The panoramic setting, fireplace, furnished interiors and 350 m² of land add appeal, but the listing does not state the energy class or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A charming, highly individual hillside townhouse with a sunny mountain-and-rooftop outlook, mature greenery, a landscaped courtyard, and around 350 sqm of additional garden land. It appears to be a genuine habitable home rather than a renovation shell, with a fireplace, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a veranda, though the décor and exterior details are dated and eccentric.
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.
- The hillside garden and multiple terraces may be challenging for anyone with limited mobility.
- The house looks dated and heavily personalized, so some cosmetic updating and decluttering may be needed.
- The gallery provides almost no interior-room views, so the kitchen, bathrooms, heating, and overall condition should be verified.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines, in the upper Lamone valley. The Lamone river runs through Marradi and the surrounding landscape is wooded mountain and hill country rather than open plain. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby to the south and south-east, and the ridge country around the Muraglione and Colla di Casaglia passes shapes the area. The nearest ski area of note is Campigna on the Romagna side, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Faenza is the nearest medium-sized town with broader services, rail connections continue through the valley, and Florence is much farther beyond the Apennine crossings. Marradi is known for chestnuts and for the writer Dino Campana.
