Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €308/m², even allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works, the effective cost is about €508/m² versus a local benchmark of €598/m². The sea-front location, 50 photos, garage, pool and potential to create two independent units make this a strong candidate, although the listing does not state the condition or construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, generously sized coastal home just steps from the sea, with a beautifully planted private courtyard, garage, roof terrace potential, and a visible sea vista down the street. Interiors range from a highly attractive modern kitchen and bright living room to distinctive traditional woodwork, patterned floors, and an ornate salon. It appears move-in ready overall rather than a renovation shell, although the single bathroom and mixed-age finishes reduce practicality slightly.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a large 227 sqm house.
- The energy rating is G, and some exterior finishes and street infrastructure look dated.
- The modern courtyard and kitchen contrast with older tiled areas; the full 50-photo gallery should confirm that all spaces are genuinely finished and usable.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of the Salento peninsula, with low rocky shore and small inlets around Torre Suda and the marina of Racale. The nearest larger beach system is around Gallipoli to the north, while the inland landscape is the flat to gently undulating Salento plain with olive groves and dry-stone walls. Ugento is the nearest town of some size to the south, and Gallipoli is the nearest larger coastal centre with a full harbour, services and a substantial historic core. The area is known for Salento seaside tourism and for olive-growing.
