In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The habitable 112 m² villa costs €848/m², or roughly €1,048/m² after allowing €200/m² for ordinary updates, compared with about €500/m² for comparable Puglia homes. It has strong amenities, 35 photos and no obvious legal or condition red flags, but the price is high for Martina Franca and the sea is 17 km away.
More on the house and the area
A solid, clearly habitable Puglian villa with a very large paved terrace, mature trees, covered veranda, fireplace, garage, and plenty of outdoor living space. The home is comfortable and move-in ready, though its dated furnishings and finishes make it more practical than spectacular, with no dramatic view or distinctive historic character shown.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 interiors and kitchen are fully usable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The property has extensive hard-paved outdoor areas, while the garden itself appears modest rather than expansive.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the four-room 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.
