What it really costs
- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 122 sqm, the ask is about €779/sqm; with an estimated €350/sqm to finish ('ristrutturato ma da rifinire'), the effective cost is about €1,129/sqm, far above this catalog baseline of €317/sqm in Basilicata villas. Near the historic center and with panoramic balconies help a bit, but 671 days on market is a strong negative and caps the score.
More on the house and the area
The big plus here is the balcony view toward the church tower and historic rooftops, which gives it some real small-town Italian atmosphere. But the house itself is quite plain and still feels unfinished inside: tiled and structurally usable, yet missing the warmth and fittings of a ready home. It looks like a solid, modernized base with potential rather than an immediate dream property.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €24,000
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.
- Interior is unfinished and needs completion before it feels fully livable
- Only one bathroom shown/listed
- Exterior is plain rather than characterful
- No kitchen fitted in the photos
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 56/100The cluster sits in the clay hill country of the Basento-Bradano area, with cultivated ridges, gullies and broad agricultural valleys typical of inland Matera province. The Basento valley is part of the local landscape, and the Bradano basin is also nearby in this part of Basilicata. Matera is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Sassi historic quarters. This area is known for cereals, olive groves and the calanchi terrain found across the Materano hills.
