See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €76,000 asking price is €731/m², already above the local €595/m² reference before renovation. As a house explicitly requiring restoration, estimated works of about €1,100/m² bring the effective cost near €1,830/m²; the historic-center setting, garden and proximity to the sea add appeal but do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine Salento character home with exceptionally attractive original cementine floors, repeated star vaults, traditional doors, and a strong historic atmosphere. It appears structurally house-like and potentially livable rather than a bare shell, but the peeling plaster, damp marks, and dated facilities mean meaningful renovation is needed before it feels comfortable as a full-time home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€41,000 – €61,000
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.
- Clearly needs renovation, including replastering and addressing damp or water-stained walls.
- No kitchen is visibly fitted, and the bathroom appears basic; confirm services and immediate habitability.
- The advertised private garden is not shown in the provided photos.
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 63/100The cluster is in the Salento plain. The Adriatic coast is nearby at Torre dell'Orso, San Foca and the Alimini area, with low rocky shoreline, small sandy bays and pine-backed stretches. The Le Cesine nature reserve lies in this part of the coast. Lecce is the nearest city of size and has the Baroque historic centre and full city services. This area is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls and Salento towns built in local stone.
