See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 161 sqm, the ask is only €373/sqm versus a low local baseline of €410/sqm, but the listing explicitly says completely to renovate, so a realistic renovation allowance is about €1,100/sqm; that pushes the effective cost to roughly €1,473/sqm, far above baseline. It is also stale at 362 days on market, which suggests buyers have not accepted this price/project mix.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, very cheap town house with some authentic vaulted rooms and decent potential to become characterful. But the current condition is far from move-in: several interiors are bare, damaged or unfinished, so this reads as a serious renovation project rather than an immediately livable dream home. The terrace and corner position add usability, yet the visual wow is modest today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€64,000 – €94,000
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.

- Completely needs renovation; several rooms are stripped or damaged.
- Visible damp/peeling ceilings and debris suggest significant remedial work.
- Exterior is plain and worn, with no meaningful view shown.
- Terrace exists but currently feels raw and not yet enjoyable.
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 43/100This is the Metaponto plain, with broad agricultural lowland between the Basento and Bradano rivers and the Ionian coast nearby. The coast around Metaponto and the mouth areas of the rivers is the main landscape feature within reach, with long sandy beaches and pine woods behind parts of the shore. Bernalda sits inland on the edge where the plain begins to rise toward the Matera hinterland. Metaponto is the nearest coastal centre of note and has beach services and the archaeological area of the Greek colony of Metapontum with the Tavole Palatine just outside the modern resort area. Matera is the nearest major city and has the full range of services. The area is known for intensive agriculture on the plain and for the Greek archaeological remains of Metaponto.
