In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 316 m² plus estimated renovation €700/m² (~€221,200) the effective price is ~€301,200 (≈€953/m²) versus the regional median of €302/m², so this will be expensive to bring to standard. The listing has only 1 photo and a very short description, so the scope of work and condition details are unclear; 6 km from the sea offers limited premium.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed brick building with a concrete forecourt and a distant panoramic view — the 316 m² mass feels like a conversion opportunity rather than a ready home. The exterior is utilitarian and the listing shows it needs renovation and probable change-of-use work before it can be lived in.
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€63,000 – €111,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 58/100The area lies between the Ionian coast and the first ridges of the Calabrian-Lucanian Apennines, with short valleys running down to the sea. The Ionian Sea is about 5 km away, with the coastal strip around Marina di Montegiordano and the beaches of the upper Gulf of Taranto. The Saraceno valley is part of the immediate inland landscape here. Policoro and Corigliano-Rossano are the nearest larger centres for wider services; along this coast daily life also looks toward the SS106 corridor. The broader area is known for olive groves, citrus and hill villages set above the Ionian shore.
