What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €74,000 for 110 sqm, the ask is about €673/sqm; assuming habitable condition, adding ~€200/sqm renovation puts the effective cost near €873/sqm. That is well above the local stock baseline of €410/sqm, so despite the garage and decent size, this looks expensive for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a usable village house rather than a fantasy-Italy showpiece: kitchen, bathroom and rooms appear intact and livable, with a big garage below. The stone exterior and traditional fireplaces add a little character, but the overall look is dated and there are no proven views or standout outdoor features. Good practicality, limited wow.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Very plain, dated interiors despite being habitable
- No view, terrace, garden or notable outdoor space shown
- Street-facing facade is not especially attractive
- Large dark garage/storage space may need improvement
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Matera, so the lived setting is urban streets on the edge of the Murgia plateau rather than open countryside. The Gravina di Matera cuts through the city immediately beside the Sassi, with the rock churches and ravine landscape of the Parco della Murgia Materana directly adjacent. Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches. The city itself has full services, a large historic centre, and the cave-settlement districts for which it is known.
