At €78,000 for 160 m², the estimated renovation-adjusted cost is about €1,588/m², far above the local €689/m² benchmark. The 2 km distance from the sea, garden, garage and historic façade add appeal, but the property is completely to renovate and has no stated bathrooms or energy details.
More on the house and the area
The ornate historic facade, vaulted ceilings, original patterned floors, and independent rear garden give this property real character and renovation potential. However, it is currently a substantial project rather than a usable home, with no bathroom, heavily neglected interiors, and an overgrown garden.
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€63,000 – €94,000
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.
- Completely requires renovation and has no visible bathroom or kitchen.
- Interior shows damp staining, graffiti, debris, and outdated or incomplete services.
- The rear garden is overgrown and contains rubble; structural and roof condition need professional verification.
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 49/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Taranto, on the Ionian coast with the Mar Piccolo and Mar Grande forming the local waterscape. The city has a historic centre on the island between the two inlets, a large naval base, port infrastructure, and extensive urban and industrial fabric around the waterfront. The nearest larger urban services are in Taranto itself, with hospitals, secondary schools, rail connections and full city commerce. The area is known for the Aragonese Castle, the old city, the navy, the steelworks and mussel farming in the Mar Piccolo.
