In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €62,607 (€501/m²), this habitable 125 m² apartment is attractively priced initially, with garage, cellar, balcony and terrace. Allowing roughly €25,000 for normal habitable-property updates brings the effective cost to about €701/m², above the €600/m² local benchmark; the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious and clearly habitable 125 sqm apartment, with a functional fitted kitchen, finished floors, heating and multiple practical extras. However, the photos show an ordinary urban apartment with dated décor and no standout view, outdoor living space, or historic character to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interior is usable but dated and heavily furnished.
- No scenic view, garden, or distinctive historic character is shown.
- Bathroom count is unclear in the listing facts.
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 78/100The cluster lies by Lake Lesina, the long coastal lagoon that runs behind the Adriatic shore at the northern edge of Gargano. The Gargano promontory begins just to the east, with low limestone relief, pine woods and the outer edge of Gargano National Park within this radius. The Adriatic coast is close, with long sandy shore and dune environments around Marina di Lesina and the lagoon margins. Lesina is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and a historic core on the lagoon side. This area is known for lagoon fishing and wetlands, especially eels and other fish from Lake Lesina.
