Asking €98,000 for 126 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation yields an effective ≈€977/m², substantially above the regional baseline of €695/m². The listing does not state the property's overall condition, so confirm habitability despite the 10 photos and garden.
More on the house and the area
A very pretty, characterful farmhouse-style townhouse with original beams, tiled floors and a large traditional fireplace — looks move-in or lightly-refreshable. It includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an exclusive ~300 m² garden, though the attic is low and needs finishing and some systems may be dated.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- attic/soffitta has low headroom and looks only partly finished
- small separate kitchenette — could be cramped for some buyers
- no clear evidence of modern heating or recent systems upgrades
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 72/100The cluster sits in the northern Apennines, in the Marecchia valley under Monte Carpegna and the Sasso Simone and Simoncello massif. The Marecchia river runs through this part of the valley. The Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park is within the area.

Pennabilli is the nearest small centre with basic services and a preserved historic core spread between two rocky spurs. San Leo is nearby in the same valley system and is known for its fortress on a limestone crag. This part of Montefeltro is known for its Apennine hill landscapes, woodland, pasture and historic hill towns.
