Price €89,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€122,500) gives an effective cost of ~€1,210/m² vs the local baseline €234/m², so this renovation project is very expensive per m². The listing data contradicts itself (description mentions two bedrooms but beds field is 0).
More on the house and the area
A characterful small palazzo with exposed beams, a brick fireplace, two balconies and a private courtyard with a view to wooded hills. The building is a solid, habitable structure that needs plaster, damp repairs and general updating — a realistic DIY renovation project for someone who wants to personalise a roomy town 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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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.
