In the listingNeeds renovation- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 121 sqm, the ask is about €413/sqm, essentially identical to the local baseline of €410/sqm; with a realistic renovation budget of ~€700/sqm, the effective cost is not cheap for a property needing works. The 314 days on market is a clear negative, though the 9-10 km distance from the Ionian coast and garage/terrace add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
The setting has some appeal: a hill town context, panoramic surroundings and the Ionian coast within a short drive. But the actual house is barely shown, and the only building photo is a very plain entrance, so this feels more like a renovation project than an immediately dreamable home. At this price and size it has value, but the wow is modest.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €43,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Only 3 photos, so the house itself is largely unverified.
- Advertised as needing renovation; interior condition/livability is unclear.
- Street facade shown is plain and not especially charming.
- Sea is nearby but not a walk-to-beach home.
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 67/100The area lies between the Ionian coast and the first ridges of the Pollino foothills. The Ionian Sea is nearby, with the long beach stretch of Rocca Imperiale Marina and the coastal plain around the Sinni valley just to the north. The Pollino massif is inland to the west and northwest, but the national park core is beyond the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest larger centres for services are Policoro to the north and Corigliano-Rossano farther south; for everyday needs the local reference is the small coastal strip and the historic hill village. Rocca Imperiale is known for its hilltop historic centre and Swabian castle, and the area for lemon cultivation, including the Limone di Rocca Imperiale PGI.
