At €450/m², this 200 m² independent house is 25% below the local €600/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €40,000 to finish the rustic 38 m² attic gives an estimated effective cost of about €650/m². The listing does not specify the overall condition, construction year, or energy performance, so verify habitability and the attic’s permitted status.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious home rather than a renovation shell, with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, working living spaces, and a small rear garden. The dramatic vaulted ceilings, beautifully patterned traditional floors, stained-glass details, and generous rooms provide strong Puglian character, while the 200 sqm size at €90,000 is compelling. The main drawback is that the upper mansard is unfinished and the rest of the house would benefit from modernization.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- The upstairs mansard is currently rustic and would need renovation.
- Interiors are very dated, with older kitchen, bathroom finishes, furnishings, and windows.
- No standout landscape view is shown; the house is in a normal residential street.
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.
