See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 90 sqm, the ask is €389/sqm, near the local baseline of €410/sqm; but the interior has been stripped out and must be completed, so I estimate about €800/sqm renovation, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,189/sqm. Historic-center location and a renovated exterior help, but 2,863 days on market is a major negative and caps confidence.
More on the house and the area
There is some genuine character in the vaulted stone interiors, and the exterior shell has been neatly redone. But this is not a usable home yet: the inside has been dismantled to a raw state and needs a full fit-out before anyone could realistically live here. At €35k the price helps, but the wow is mostly potential rather than present-day livability.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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.

The area around
Location score 58/100Grassano stands on the clay hills of inland Basilicata, in the Bradano valley country. The Bradano River runs nearby, and the wider landscape is a mix of cultivated hills, ravines and badlands typical of this part of the Matera hinterland. Matera is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Sassi districts. This area is known for wheat farming and for the calanchi landscapes found across the Materano interior.
