The €354/m² asking price is 41% below the local €595/m² benchmark, with a strong location 3 km from the sea and a separate garage. However, both the 84 m² home and 46 m² garage require renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to roughly €1,054/m² before the value of the historic features is considered.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely characterful old Puglian house, with beautiful patterned cementine floors, original vaulted ceilings, traditional doors, and a practical garage/courtyard arrangement. It is not move-in ready: visible damp, damaged ceilings, worn finishes, and an incomplete kitchen make it a real renovation project, though the structure appears substantially intact rather than ruined.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp repairs, ceilings, walls, and finishes.
- The kitchen appears stripped out or incomplete, while the bathroom is usable but dated.
- The internal courtyard/skylight area and roof structures need careful inspection for water ingress.
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.
