At €93,446 for 243 m², the home costs €385/m² before works and about €584/m² including a modest habitable-property allowance, well above the €306/m² local reference. The villa has strong practical features—garage, heating, terraces, cellar and 33 photos—but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide construction and energy details.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable family villa with balconies, terraces, a small garden, garage and generous 243 sqm of space. It is functional rather than beautiful: the exterior is pleasant but ordinary, while the interiors look dated, cluttered and not especially inspiring. The low price per square metre gives it some bargain appeal, but it is not a dream-home-level wow property.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interiors look dated and several rooms are heavily cluttered, suggesting cosmetic work and clearing are needed.
- No bathroom is shown in the gallery, so the reported livability should be verified during inspection.
- The property is large, but the setting appears suburban and offers no notable view or historic character.
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 sits in the Lucanian Apennines, in hill and lower-mountain country west of Potenza. The Marmo Platano area is cut by small river valleys and wooded ridges, and the Campania–Basilicata Apennine relief is the main landscape within reach. Potenza is the nearest town of size, with the usual provincial services and rail connections. This part of Basilicata is known for mixed farming, woodland and mountain villages rather than for a single standout monument or protected landmark inside the immediate radius.
