What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation €200/m² → total cost ≈ €160,000, so effective price ≈ €457/m² (350 m²). That is about 82% above the Marche baseline of €251/m²; the palazzo is large with ~3,000 m² grounds and is habitable but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
An imposing three‑storey palazzo with original brick details, large private grounds (~3,000 m²) and clear panoramic hill and sea views — very photogenic outside. The main building appears structurally intact and is described as habitable but needs interior maintenance and systems revision; the outbuildings are ruins that will need full rebuilding.
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€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Needs internal refurbishment and revision of electrical/plumbing systems
- Outbuildings/manufatti are dilapidated and require full restoration
- Visible staining/peeling plaster at ground floor — cosmetic and damp checks advised
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 58/100The cluster sits on the rolling agricultural hills of inland Pesaro e Urbino at the foot of the Marche Apennine foothills. Within about 15 km are several small medieval hill towns: Pergola (which hosts a town museum with the “Bronzi Dorati” finds) and Mondavio (with the Rocca Roveresca fortress) are both within the local area. The local land use within 15 km is mixed arable fields, olive groves, vineyards and small patches of woodland, with small streams draining toward the Cesano valley. No national park or UNESCO site lies inside the 15 km radius. Higher Apennine summits such as Monte Catria and Monte Nerone lie further to the south and west, beyond the immediate 15 km zone. The nearest larger service towns (for example Fano on the coast and Urbino inland) are outside the 15 km radius.
