See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 (€264/m²), the price is far below comparable Puglia listings, but the house is described as totally needing renovation: estimated works of about €121,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,364/m², well above the €600/m² benchmark. The 55 m² garden, terrace and independent layout add appeal, but Energy Class G and the extensive renovation burden limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
The 55 sqm private garden/courtyard, terrace potential, old terrazzo floors, traditional doors, and large fireplace give this Puglian townhouse real character. However, the actual house is a substantial renovation project with visibly deteriorated interiors and no usable finished kitchen shown, so its beauty is mainly future potential rather than a livable dream home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €64,000
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 property is explicitly sold as completely needing renovation and is not move-in ready.
- Actual interiors show damp staining, damaged plaster, worn floors, and an unusable-looking kitchen/fireplace room.
- The narrow access passage and missing practical details about utilities may complicate renovation.
- The attractive furnished images appear to be staged visualizations rather than the current condition.
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.
