At €95,000 (€394/m²), this large 241 m² townhouse looks inexpensive, with 32 photos and useful features including two bathrooms, heating, fireplace, balcony, and terrace. Allowing about €700/m² for the stated renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €1,094/m², well above the €631/m² local comparison level, so the apparent discount is largely absorbed by works.
More on the house and the area
The enclosed courtyard is genuinely beautiful, with mature planting, atmospheric lighting potential, terraces and attractive traditional woodwork and arches. The 241 sqm house appears solid, spacious and usable rather than a shell, but it needs meaningful renovation and the real interiors are much plainer than the AI staging suggests.
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€48,000 – €85,000
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.

- The property is explicitly sold as needing renovation; several real photos show dated finishes, blank rooms and a tired kitchen/bathroom area.
- Many of the most polished interior images are AI-generated renders, not the current condition.
- No clearly confirmed sea, mountain or valley view is visible in the gallery.
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 61/100This is the inland Salento around Gallipoli, with low limestone ground, olive groves and scattered rural buildings. The Ionian coast near Gallipoli is within about 15 km, with beaches and rocky shoreline around Rivabella, Padula Bianca and Santa Maria al Bagno. The Serre Salentine low ridge country lies across this part of the peninsula rather than any true mountains. Gallipoli is the nearest town of size, with a working old town on an island, port, services and rail links. In this part of Salento the area is known for olive cultivation, wine and summer seaside tourism.
