What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 (€176/m²), the price is low, but the 165 m² farmhouse is completely unrenovated and has structural problems; estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,276/m². This is far above the Marche baseline of €306/m², so the apparent discount is outweighed by the recovery cost.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Marche farmhouse with an arched entrance, shutters, mature woodland, and a substantial plot of land. However, the two-unit property is explicitly a structural renovation project, with weathered exteriors and raw cellar areas, so it is not currently a realistically livable dream home despite its attractive rural setting.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€65,000 – €97,000
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.
- Advertised as completely needing renovation, with structural problems requiring a thorough recovery project.
- The extensive land is heavily overgrown and will need clearing and maintenance.
- The house sits directly along a provincial road; utilities and renovation legality 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 62/100The cluster is in the hills of Montefeltro on the border with Marche and San Marino, with a landscape of ridges, small valleys, woodland patches and cultivated slopes. The Conca valley is nearby, and the Marecchia valley and the first Apennine reliefs are also close in this part of the province. San Marino is immediately nearby, and the nearest larger town for everyday services is Riccione on the coast, with rail links, hospitals and a full range of shops; Rimini is the main city of the province. Monte San Bartolo Regional Park is farther away on the coast and does not define the immediate setting. The area is known for historic hill villages of Montefeltro and for views across the inland hills toward the Adriatic side.
