This 247 m² villa is advertised as an auction property, so it fails the catalog’s eligibility rules regardless of its attractive €372/m² asking figure. The listing does not say what condition the building is in or provide legal and occupancy details.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, sunny villa with a pleasant front veranda, mature potted greenery, tiled floors, decorative woodwork, and a clearly furnished, functioning interior. It lacks a dramatic view, historic character, or standout setting, while the bathrooms and exact condition of the technical systems remain unclear; the large garage/service structures are more practical than beautiful.
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€49,000 – €87,000
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.
- Auction sale, so legal and purchase conditions need careful checking.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, and none is clearly shown in the gallery.
- The covered garage/service areas look utilitarian and may need updating or verification of systems.
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 52/100This is the inland Salento plain around Lecce, with flat to lightly undulating farmland of olive groves, vineyards and walled fields. The nearest coast is the Ionian shore around Porto Cesareo, and the Adriatic coast near Lecce is at a similar everyday distance, but neither is inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Lecce is the nearest town of size, with a large historic centre and major Baroque churches and palaces. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for being part of the Lecce hinterland.
