A habitable 157 m² villa with garage, cellar, terrace and heating has an effective cost of about €639/m² (€68,978 plus an estimated €31,400 refresh), versus a local benchmark of €500/m² before renovation. The 33 photos and detailed amenities support the listing, but the effective price is above the benchmark, so this is a solid candidate rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, genuinely livable Puglian villa with an appealing arched facade, mature palms, a planted courtyard, terrace, garage, and generous surrounding land. The interior is fully furnished and usable but dated rather than beautiful, while the setting is semi-rural and lacks a standout sea, valley, or village view.
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€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.
- The interiors are clearly habitable but quite dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The garden/land appears overgrown and will need substantial clearing and maintenance.
- The listing facts show zero bathrooms, so the bathroom situation should be verified carefully.
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.
