See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 plus roughly €70,700 for renovation, the effective cost is about €1,245/m²—nearly double the €630/m² local benchmark. The garage and independent heating add value, but the property is 10 km from the sea and still requires substantial work.
More on the house and the area
A solid 101 m² Puglian townhouse with attractive traditional touches, including patterned floors, an arched opening, a fireplace, and a private citrus courtyard. It appears roofed and structurally usable rather than derelict, but the real interiors are dated and partly unfinished, so this is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs meaningful renovation, including updating the kitchen and bathroom and refreshing dated finishes.
- The most polished living-room images are explicitly marked as furnishing proposals, not the current condition.
- No scenic view is shown; the outdoor space is a small enclosed courtyard rather than a garden.
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 61/100The area is the inland edge of the Ionian Salento, with mostly flat to gently rolling ground planted with vineyards and olive groves. The nearest coast is the Ionian coast around San Pietro in Bevagna, with sandy shoreline and low Mediterranean scrub. Manduria is the main town nearby and has a substantial historic centre, everyday services, and the archaeological remains of the Messapian walls and necropolis. The area is known above all for Primitivo di Manduria wine.
