At €760/m² before works, this is already 27% above the local €600/m² benchmark; allowing for likely personalization work, the effective cost is about €1,160/m². The listing is silent on condition and construction year, and its stated five rooms/four beds conflicts with the description of only two bedrooms.
More on the house and the area
A solid, livable Puglian single-level home with a generous private courtyard and a productive lemon tree, plus a traditional fireplace. The rooms are bright and functional, but the interiors are plain and dated, with no standout view or major architectural spectacle.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Energy class G suggests poor efficiency.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The kitchen appears unfitted or is not shown in the gallery; confirm fixtures and utilities.
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.
