At €389/m², the apartment is about 35% below the local €600/m² benchmark, with the sea only 800 metres away and useful features including heating, a kitchen, fireplace and balcony. The listing does not say whether it is habitable or needs work, and it does not state the number of bathrooms, so allow a moderate renovation buffer.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical 65 m² city apartment with two bedrooms, a balcony, fireplace, heating and a central location near the sea. It appears to be a real usable home rather than a shell, but the lack of property photos and uncertainty about its current condition prevent a stronger wow score.
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.
- No actual interior or exterior property photos are shown, so condition and visual appeal cannot be verified.
- Auction purchase with a minimum bid of about €25,320; renovation needs and occupancy status should be checked.
- The supplied facts list 0 bathrooms, while the description says there is 1 bathroom—verify the official survey.
- Urban Taranto apartment with no confirmed sea view despite being near the coast.
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.
