This is explicitly a tavernetta classified C/2, which is not a legal dwelling, so it fails the catalog’s primary habitability test. At €85,000 for 50 sqm (€1,700/sqm) plus about €700/sqm to complete, the effective cost is very weak anyway, and the baseline is unreliable; it has also been on the market for 1,198 days.
More on the house and the area
This is a newly built unfinished basement-style tavernetta with a small private garden, but it has no visible charm, views or real residential wow. The interior is basically a raw empty space, so despite being structurally sound it is not yet a livable home. It feels more like a project or ancillary unit than a dream Italian house.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.

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.
