At €45,000 (€882/m²), estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,582/m², well above the €689/m² local comparison level. The 6,000 m² olive-grove setting adds appeal, but the listing does not clarify utilities, permits, or the full renovation scope, and the property is 22 km from the sea.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
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 52/100This is the inland Salento plain of olive groves, vineyards and arable fields around Oria. The area sits between the Adriatic and Ionian coasts but the immediate 15 km landscape is flat to gently rolling agricultural countryside rather than coast or mountain. Oria itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre on a low hill with the cathedral and the Swabian castle. Brindisi and Taranto are the nearest larger cities for wider services and transport. The area is known for wine, olive growing and the wider Salento rural landscape.
