At €70,000 (€1,077/m²), this apartment is well above the €600/m² level typical for comparable low-priced homes in the area, even allowing for its balcony, security door, and coastal location. The listing does not say whether it is habitable or needs renovation, so a modest €200/m² allowance is prudent.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, recently refreshed apartment in an elegant historic urban facade, with unusually polished marble-effect floors, a decorative ceiling fresco, high ceilings, air conditioning, and a usable balcony. It looks broadly livable rather than a renovation shell, although the unfinished presentation and missing kitchen/bathroom photos leave some practical questions. The courtyard outlook is ordinary, but the period character and bright interiors make it a strong city-home proposition.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Kitchen and bathroom are not clearly shown in the gallery, so completeness and immediate move-in readiness should be verified.
- The balcony overlooks a dense, somewhat neglected inner courtyard rather than an attractive view.
- Urban street parking appears limited and the surrounding building fabric is mixed in 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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Taranto, between the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo on the Ionian coast. The coast and the two inner basins define the immediate setting more than open countryside. Taranto is a large city with a historic centre on the island, port infrastructure, naval facilities, beaches on parts of the urban coast, and the full range of city services and retail. The area is known for its port, naval base, mussel farming in the Mar Piccolo, and heavy industry.
