What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse at €767/m² sits just above the local median of €738/m², so it's priced roughly at market with no meaningful discount. Positives: 116m², garage, heating, terrace, private outdoor area, 28 photos, fresh listing (6 days). Negatives: 1940 build likely needs cosmetic/systems updates (~€300/m²), energy class and sea distance missing. Solid habitable property but no bargain.
More on the house and the area
Ground-floor townhouse in Francavilla Fontana (Puglia), 116sqm at €767/m2 — a low price point. Interiors are clean but ordinary: standard white kitchen, plain bedrooms, tiled floors. Some traditional vaulted ceilings and an arched doorway add mild character, and a traditional fireplace is mentioned. Perks include garage, private terrace and small outdoor ortale. Photos are heavily AI-staged/virtually furnished, so real condition is uncertain. No standout views, location or design features. Main draw is affordability and useful accessory spaces rather than any visual wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Images appear AI-staged/virtually furnished (Matterport 'Defurnished with AI' watermarks)
- No sea distance or energy class data
- Vaulted ceilings visible but interiors are plain
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.

This part of Puglia is known for olive oil, wine and rural masserie.
