What it really costs

Estimating €350/m² of renovation yields a total cost ~€100,500 (≈€773/m²), well above the local median €449/m². The listing has 24 photos and a 35 m² garage and the first floor is renovated, but the ground floor needs work, so the effective price per m² is high.
More on the house and the area
The upper floor is lived‑in and freshly fitted (kitchen, bathroom, big bedroom) so you could move in right away, while the lower level is a clear renovation project. Nice original details (beams, old fireplace, terracotta floors) and a 35 sqm garage make this a real bargain for €55k, but expect building work to create a fully integrated family 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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
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.
- Ground‑floor level (three rooms) is unfinished and needs renovation/finishing.
- Some rooms have low ceilings and small windows limiting light in places.
- Two separate units possible but internal connection/works may be required.
- No dramatic views or big private outdoor space visible in photos.
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 56/100The area is in the inland hills between the Misa and Cesano valleys, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, small woods and scattered farmhouses. The Adriatic coast is at Senigallia, about 15 km away in a straight line, but the immediate surroundings are inland hill country rather than a coastal setting. The nearest town of size is Senigallia, which has a full range of services, rail access and a substantial historic centre. This part of the Marche is known for mixed farming, vineyards and olive groves.
