See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€818/m²), the stated renovation pushes estimated all-in cost to about €167,000, or €1,518/m², versus €600/m² for comparable Puglia stock. The central village setting, 170 m² garden, parking, and nearby services add appeal, but the premium is difficult to justify for a house needing renovation.
More on the house and the area
This Puglian house has genuinely beautiful historic character, with elegant vaulted ceilings, original patterned cement tiles, old doors, and a traditional fireplace. It is a solid, roofed property with finished floors and a private garden, but the interiors are clearly mid-renovation and lack visible modern kitchen and bathroom finishes, so it is a characterful project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Requires substantial renovation before it is comfortably habitable.
- No finished kitchen or clearly usable bathroom is visible in the gallery.
- The 170 sqm garden is currently rough and undeveloped.
- Central street frontage and exposed utility wiring reduce the sense of a secluded country home.
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 58/100This is the inland Salento plain, with flat to lightly undulating farmland of olive groves, vineyards and arable fields. The nearest coast in daily life is the Ionian shore around Torre Lapillo and Porto Cesareo, about 15 km away from the western edge of the area, with long low sandy beaches and coastal dunes. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and services; Taranto and Brindisi are also practical reference cities. The area is known for wine production, especially Negroamaro and Primitivo, and for olive growing.
