See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €316/m², the €79,000 asking price looks low, but the two-level property has energy class G, older wooden fixtures, and no stated condition, suggesting substantial updating. With estimated renovation around €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,016/m², well above the local benchmark of €600/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial two-level country house with generous verandas, balconies, mature greenery, agricultural surroundings, and a traditional fireplace. It is a real, usable home with floors, kitchen, bathrooms, heating, and multiple bedrooms, but the dated finishes and visible moisture damage mean it needs a meaningful refresh rather than being immediately move-in ready.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and show visible damp staining, peeling plaster, and general cosmetic wear.
- The property appears to sit in a very rural setting reached by an unpaved track.
- Energy class G and older windows/fixtures suggest likely modernization and efficiency costs.
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 41/100This lies in the flat Salento plain around Brindisi, with a low agricultural landscape of olive groves, fields and scattered masserie. The Adriatic coast near Brindisi is within about 15 km, with the port city waterfront and stretches of low shoreline rather than a cliff coast. Brindisi itself is the nearest town of size and has a large natural harbour, Roman remains including the end point of the Via Appia, and the usual full range of services and transport for a provincial capital. The area is known for olive growing, vineyards and the port and airport of Brindisi.
