Why this price is what it is

Asking €700,000 (€1,556/m²) and an estimated renovation of €700/m² yields an effective ≈€2,256/m² versus the regional median €483/m², so this is well above local norms despite being 1 km from the sea and having a redevelopment project. The listing gives no stated condition or building year and notes the images are renders (contradiction with the photo count).

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The advertised interiors look very attractive — warm, sunny, modern apartment layouts with balconies and a garden — but those are renders for a proposed conversion. The asset is a whole 1970s building for redevelopment into five units, so it’s a charming potential project rather than a ready-to-live dream home.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€158,000 – €225,000

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.

Comfortable
€270,000 – €405,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Full€1,200–1,500/m²
€540,000 – €675,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€89,000 – €158,000

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.

Asking price + this range
€970,000 – €1,105,000
What worries us about this house
  • Images are architectural renders, not photos of the current building/interiors
  • This is an entire 1970s building sold as a redevelopment project (plans for 5 apartments) — not a turnkey, move‑in home
  • Full renovation/conversion will be required; verify permits, costs and utilities

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 60/100

The cluster is on the Adriatic coast at Cattolica, with a continuous sandy shoreline shared with Gabicce Mare and Misano Adriatico. The Conca valley opens just inland, while the first hills of the Romagna-Marche border rise within a few kilometres; the nearest distinct relief is Monte San Bartolo just to the southeast, a coastal ridge protected as Parco Naturale del Monte San Bartolo. Rimini is the nearest larger city, with rail links, services and an airport nearby at Miramare. Gradara is close inland, known for its walled castle and listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This stretch of coast is known for beach tourism, marinas and the built-up Riviera romagnola.
