At €75,000 (€1,000/m²), the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €127,500, or €1,700/m²—far above the €632/m² local comparison level. Being 500 metres from the sea, with a garage, balcony and terrace, adds appeal but does not offset the renovation premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine seaside home with a remarkably open sea view, abundant palms, a private outdoor area, and a huge usable roof terrace just 500 m from the coast. The structure is solid and fully roofed, with floors, bathroom, heating, and a fireplace, but it is an old-fashioned renovation project rather than a move-in-ready house.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The house clearly needs renovation and modernization, especially the dated kitchen/bathroom finishes and general interior presentation.
- The large flat roof terrace shows significant weathering and should be checked for waterproofing.
- No kitchen installation is visible in the gallery, so essential fittings and utility functionality should be confirmed.
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 68/100This is the Salento peninsula, with a flat to gently undulating limestone landscape of olive groves and fields. The Ionian coast is about 4 km away, with the shoreline around Torre Suda and further toward Gallipoli marked by low rocky stretches and sandy beaches in places. The regional park of Isola di Sant’Andrea e Litorale di Punta Pizzo lies nearby on the coast south of Gallipoli. Gallipoli is the nearest town of size, with a historic old town on an island-linked promontory, a fishing port and full services. The area is known for Salento olive country, summer seaside tourism and nearby coastal towers.
