See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€509/m²), the asking price is close to the local €500/m² benchmark, but the townhouse requires renovation; adding an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,209/m². The listing does not say the construction year, energy class, or precise renovation scope, so this is a weak renovation proposition rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A large traditional village townhouse with exposed timber beams, shutters, tiled floors, balconies, and attractive wooded-hill views. It is a genuine roofed and serviced home with two bathrooms and heating, but the peeling plaster, unfinished areas, and neglected garden make this a real renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including extensive replastering and likely damp remediation.
- The kitchen appears incomplete or dated, and at least one bathroom needs finishing work.
- The overgrown exterior space will require clearing and landscaping.
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 57/100The cluster is in the first Apennine hills above the Montone valley, with wooded ridges and cultivated slopes typical of the Romagna foothills. The Montone river runs through Dovadola and the valley continues east toward Forlì. The nearest larger town is Forlì, which has the main services, rail connections, and a substantial historic centre. Within about 15 km the main landscape feature is the Apennine foothill valley rather than a single standout site. This part of Romagna is known for hill farming, woods, and small historic villages along the roads that link the plain to the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines.
