Livable, but something basic is worn out

This is explicitly an auction property, which is a mandatory veto under the scoring rules. The €78,170 price (€156/m²) is not actionable as a normal purchase, and the 500 m² estate includes substantial C/2 storage units alongside the dwelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial rural villa with a complete, usable-looking kitchen/living interior, attractive countryside surroundings, and extensive agricultural land or garden space. The hill views and ensemble of white rural buildings give it real Italian-country appeal, but the interiors are dated and the property feels more like a large working estate than a polished dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€33,000 – €56,000
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.
- Auction purchase requiring legal and tribunal-document checks.
- The home is very large and appears dated, so modernization and ongoing maintenance may be substantial.
- The facts list zero bathrooms, which conflicts with the claim that the property is habitable and must be verified.
- Images are low-resolution and do not clearly establish the condition of roofs, utilities, or outbuildings.
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 52/100The cluster sits on the low hills above the Ionian coast, in the agricultural countryside between the Sinni and Agri river systems. The Ionian Sea is nearby, with the long beach coast around Policoro and Nova Siri the closest stretch of shore. The nearest town of size is Policoro, which has the main local services and the archaeological area of Heraclea. This part of the Metapontino is known for citrus, fruit growing and seaside holiday settlements rather than for a singular protected landscape within the immediate area.
