See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €450/m², the asking price is only slightly below the local €491/m² reference before renovation, and the listing does not say whether the house is habitable or needs work. The historic-borgo setting adds some appeal, but the missing condition details make the likely effective cost unattractive.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely characterful medieval-borgo home, with a striking exposed-stone façade, arched entrance, vaulted brick ceiling, fireplace, and traditional patterned floors. It appears to be a real, roofed and usable house with a kitchen, bathroom, heating, and multiple rooms, but it needs cosmetic refurbishment and investigation of the damp before being considered comfortably move-in ready.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Visible damp, peeling plaster, and ceiling staining suggest moisture or maintenance issues.
- Interiors are dated and some sleeping areas appear improvised or mid-renovation.
- The home is on a narrow cobbled historic lane with no visible private garden, terrace, or parking.
- No panoramic view is directly shown in the photos.
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 63/100This is a belt of Adriatic hill country between the lower Aso and Tenna valleys, with cultivated slopes, olive groves and long views toward the Sibillini range inland. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the beaches and seafront of Pedaso and Marina di Altidona the closest stretch. The nearest mountains are the Monti Sibillini, visible inland but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Fermo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, cathedral, theatre and everyday services. Moresco, within this area, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for mixed farming, olives and vineyards, and for a chain of hill towns set a short distance back from the coast.
