What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €297/m², the €68,000 asking price is 41% below the Marche country-house baseline of €500/m². Assuming it is genuinely ready for occupancy, estimated effective cost is about €497/m² after €200/m² allowance, making it broadly ordinary rather than a deep bargain; condition, year and energy data are missing.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, immediately usable country home with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, working kitchens, a fireplace, large terraces, and a spectacular panoramic view over the Marche hills. The private planted garden and outdoor breakfast terrace create a genuinely appealing lifestyle, while the exposed beams add some character. It is dated rather than polished, and the unfinished attic prevents it from reaching dream-home territory.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, especially the kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures, and finishes.
- The attic appears unfinished with exposed brick and basic flooring, so part of the 229 sqm may need renovation.
- The home sits directly on a village road, with neighboring buildings close to the front facade.
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.
