See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 573 m², the apparent €122/m² price is misleading: the description says the house and roof are still to be built, despite being labelled renovated. Allowing roughly €1,100/m² for substantial completion makes the effective cost far above comparable local homes, and the listing does not state permits or the exact usable residential area.
More on the house and the area
The plot is surrounded by lush greenery and has convenient road access near the village, but the building itself is only a raw concrete structure. With open floors, exposed reinforcement, debris, and no finished interiors or services, this is a substantial construction project rather than a usable farmhouse.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€227,000 – €335,000
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.
- This is an unfinished concrete-frame construction, not a livable home.
- There are no finished walls, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, or visible utilities.
- Major completion costs, permits, and construction work should be verified against the project and title documents.
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 82/100The cluster is in the Pollino massif, with Monte Pollino and Serra del Prete in the wider mountain area, and Rotonda is one of the Basilicata gateways to Pollino National Park. The Mercure river valley is nearby, and the Lao gorge system lies on the Calabria side within this mountain area. The nearest ski area is Piano Pedarreto near Viggianello, a short mountain drive away in season, with larger lifts farther off that do not affect the setting score. The nearest town of some size is Castrovillari, which provides the main services for this side of the massif. The area is known for high Apennine woods, beech and pine slopes, canyon rivers, and for red aubergines from Rotonda, which have PGI status.
