Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large villa 167 m² at €78,000 is €467/m² vs regional median €351/m²; the listing gives no condition/age, and with only 2 baths for 7 bedrooms I assume full renovation (~€700/m²). That yields an effective ≈€1,168/m², materially above market so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A very attractive, livable country house: large beamed living room with a big fireplace, intact roof and tiled floors make this immediately usable. The private garden and wide Apennine views give genuine Italian-rustic charm, though the interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation and checks on heating/energy.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
- Dated finishes (bathroom and kitchen) — cosmetic updating likely needed
- Remote/rural location — check services, road access and transport
- Verify heating, insulation and energy systems for full-time living
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 61/100The cluster is in the Savio valley in the first Apennine relief between Romagna and Tuscany-Emilia, with wooded ridges and cultivated slopes around Sarsina. The Savio river runs through the area. The Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna lies to the southwest, with its nearer access points around Bagno di Romagna at roughly half an hour by road. The nearest ski area is Monte Fumaiolo, with small lifts about 35–45 minutes away by road when operating. Cesena is the nearest larger town, with a full range of services, rail connections and major shopping. Sarsina is known for its Roman remains, including the archaeological area and Plautus tradition.
