See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €1,000/sqm; with a moderate renovation estimate of about €500/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,500/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €410/sqm, so it screens as expensive for this catalog despite the historic-center setting. The thermal coat and new windows are positives, but the listing has only 1 photo, calls the home in need of renovation while mentioning recent upgrades, and it has sat on the market for 857 days.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a tidy, usable village house rather than a fantasy property. The exterior appears freshly kept and the description suggests a basically livable home with heating, new windows, and insulation, but there is no photo evidence of interior charm or standout setting.
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, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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 one exterior photo, so interior character and true condition are unproven
- Listed as needing renovation despite new windows and thermal insulation
- No visible view, garden, or special outdoor space from the photo
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 72/100Accettura sits in the hills of the Lucanian Apennines. The area is inside the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Regional Park, with wooded ridges and sandstone outcrops around the park villages. The nearest larger town is Matera, which provides the main range of services and rail connections for the province. This part of Basilicata is known for forested inland landscapes and hill villages rather than for a major monument inside the immediate area.
