At €54,844 (€435/m²), this habitable 126 m² apartment has useful features including a garage, cellar, heating and outdoor space. Allowing roughly €25,200 for light work brings the effective cost to about €635/m², slightly above the local €600/m² reference; the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, apparently habitable apartment with balconies, a terrace, garage, cellar, and heating, making it a practical home rather than a renovation shell. However, the exterior is a fairly ordinary apartment-building setting, and the single obstructed photo provides little visual appeal or evidence of interior quality.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 one heavily blurred, watermarked exterior photo is provided.
- The interior, bathrooms, finishes, and actual condition are not visually verified.
- Dense urban surroundings offer no evident special view or distinctive setting.
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 72/100The cluster is in the western part of the province of Taranto, in the inland Murgia that drops toward the Ionian side. The Gravina di Ginosa is the main landscape feature within the area: a deep limestone ravine cut into the plateau, with rock churches and the abandoned rupestrian quarters on its sides. This is part of the ravine country of the Terra delle Gravine regional park. Toward Marina di Ginosa the land opens into the coastal plain with pinewoods and cultivated fields. The nearest larger town is Matera, which has a major historic centre of cave dwellings and services; Taranto is the other main city for services. The area is known for ravines, rupestrian settlements, and citrus and farmed land on the plain.
