In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although advertised as a habitable 98 m² villa, the description says only 40 m² is renovated while the remaining 58 m² is unfinished. Allowing roughly €63,700 for that work brings the effective cost to about €1,365/m², far above the local €306/m² benchmark, with no strong location premium.
More on the house and the area
The renovated apartment is a genuine, furnished home with a warm traditional interior, working kitchen and bathroom, plus a promising terrace and a second bedroom. The adjoining stone terratetto adds strong historic character and expansion potential, but it is currently an unfinished project rather than usable living space. At €70,000 for both units, it is an appealing bargain for someone willing to renovate the rustic section.
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, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- Only the approximately 40 sqm apartment is renovated and habitable; the 58 sqm stone terratetto is still a raw shell.
- The property is in a dense hillside town rather than a private countryside setting.
- Energy class G and the exterior renovation condition may require future investment.
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 72/100Accettura sits in the hills of the Lucanian Apennines. The area is inside the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Regional Park, with wooded ridges and sandstone outcrops around the park villages. The nearest larger town is Matera, which provides the main range of services and rail connections for the province. This part of Basilicata is known for forested inland landscapes and hill villages rather than for a major monument inside the immediate area.
