Sassofeltrio, Montefeltro hills on the San Marino border

Until 2021 Sassofeltrio was in the Marche, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino; it then moved to Emilia-Romagna and the province of Rimini. The village sits on the hills of the Montefeltro at around 460 metres, right on the border with the Republic of San Marino, with fields and woods running down to the valleys.

Its position ties it to San Marino, just across the border, and to the Romagna coast, with Rimini and Riccione less than an hour away by car. Buyers will find village houses on the ridge, scattered farmhouses in the countryside, often in need of renovation, and more recent homes in the hamlets. On hills like these, before buying a farmhouse look at the slope, the access and the state of the ground around the house; the report reads the official landslide maps at the address.

In 2023 there were 1,362 residents, down 5.7% on 2011. The average age is 45.8, close to the provincial 46.6, and 12.3% of residents are foreign nationals. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Rimini.

All 27 municipalities in the province of Rimini are in seismic zone 2. In Sassofeltrio the expected ground acceleration is 0.177 g, so for a stone or brick farmhouse it helps to know whether any strengthening work has been done and to ask for the paperwork.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address back to the plot.
