This is a judicial auction with only partial ownership advertised: 1/5 held by one party and 4/5 by another, so it is not a straightforward home purchase. The stated 95 m² also conflicts with the 71 m² interior plus veranda details, while the listing photos are explicitly non-representative.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a potentially habitable 95 sqm apartment near the Gargano coast, but the building and interiors offer little distinctive Italian character, garden, or proven view. The polished modern photos cannot be credited because the listing says they are not photographs of the actual home, and the ownership situation makes this a complicated purchase rather than an easy 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€6,000 – €11,000
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 listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not actual property photos.
- Auction purchase with split ownership: only a 1/5 share is listed alongside another 4/5 ownership interest.
- Energy class G; verify the real layout, condition, utilities, veranda, and legal possession before bidding.
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 84/100The cluster is on the Gargano promontory, with limestone hills and Mediterranean scrub close to the Adriatic coast. The Adriatic is at the door here, and this stretch includes small coves, low cliffs and sandy beaches around San Menaio and Calenella. Much of the surrounding area falls within Gargano National Park. The Foresta Umbra lies inland on the plateau within the park. Rodi Garganico is the nearest coastal town of some size, with a port and services, and Peschici is nearby on the same coast. Vico del Gargano is known for citrus groves, especially oranges and lemons.
