What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €421/m², the asking price is close to the Emilia-Romagna country-house baseline of €412/m², so there is no clear price discount. Assuming habitable condition adds about €200/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €621/m²; condition is unspecified and the listing cites approximately 140 m² versus 164 m² in the facts.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful stone village house with traditional shutters, exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, a garage, and a private garden beside a turquoise river and old bridge. The interior is furnished and clearly livable, including a functioning kitchen and bathroom, though the décor, fixtures, and some finishes are dated rather than move-in polished.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 house sits directly beside a regional road, so traffic noise and limited privacy are possible.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with cosmetic upgrades likely needed.
- Energy performance, heating systems, and structural condition are not documented.
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 70/100The cluster is in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in the upper Montone valley, with wooded ridges and steep valley sides around the villages. The Montone river runs through the area. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby to the south-west, and within this part of the Apennines the landscape is known for beech and chestnut woods, mountain roads and small stone villages. The nearest substantial town is Forlì, which provides the main range of services and rail connections.
