See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €125/m² asking price looks low, but the property is explicitly to be renovated and only about 200 m² is residential; the remaining area is mainly garage/storage. Allowing roughly €900/m² for the extensive works produces an effective cost far above the €269/m² local comparison level, with no sea or strong tourist-location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is an unusually spacious stone country house with a superb rolling Basilicata valley panorama, mature greenery, terraces and attractive traditional paving. However, it is clearly a serious renovation project rather than a move-in home: the interiors are stripped and deteriorated, with damaged ceilings and walls, although the floors, fireplace and overall structure appear substantially present.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €140,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required; interiors show severe peeling, damp-related deterioration and neglect.
- Kitchen and bathroom usability are not established from the photos, and utilities/heating should be verified.
- Roof and structural condition need professional inspection, despite the building appearing substantially intact.
- The 1.12-hectare plot is separate from the main house and may be sold separately.
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 58/100Grassano stands on the clay hills of inland Basilicata, in the Bradano valley country. The Bradano River runs nearby, and the wider landscape is a mix of cultivated hills, ravines and badlands typical of this part of the Matera hinterland. Matera is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Sassi districts. This area is known for wheat farming and for the calanchi landscapes found across the Materano interior.
