What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €43,500 (€680/m²), the apartment is already above the local €603/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €880/m². The description is broadly habitable but does not state the condition, and it conflicts with the facts by describing one bedroom despite listing two beds.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
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 74/100The cluster lies on the Gargano massif. The Gargano National Park is within the area around San Marco in Lamis, with a limestone upland of woods, karst and ravines, and the edge of the Tavoliere plain opening to the south. Monte Sant'Angelo is the nearest larger historic centre of note on the mountain, and San Giovanni Rotondo is nearby with its major pilgrimage complex. This part of inland Gargano is known for the Foresta Umbra farther east on the massif, for pilgrimage routes and sanctuaries, and for the transition from the Apulian plain to the Gargano uplands.
