Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 for 45 m² (€2,222/m² before works), this is priced far above the €500/m² local benchmark; allowing roughly €700/m² for the unstated condition pushes the effective cost near €2,922/m². The central Lecce setting and listed heating, garage, and terrace add appeal, but the very brief description does not establish that the villa is fully habitable.
More on the house and the area
A beautifully finished Puglian home combining crisp contemporary interiors with exposed local stone, a stylish kitchen and bathroom, and strong move-in appeal. The real highlight is the leafy private courtyard, shaded by grapevines and equipped for outdoor dining and cooking, giving this compact house an unusually attractive lifestyle setting.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- At only 45 sqm, the home is compact and may suit one person or a couple best.
- The listing does not confirm the condition of the roof, utilities, or the exact relationship to the sea despite the reported 0 km distance.
- Semi-detached status and garage/access arrangements should be verified.
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 55/100This is the built-up area of Lecce in the Salento plain, a low limestone landscape close to the Adriatic coast. The nearest coast is the shoreline around San Cataldo, with low sandy stretches and pine woods rather than cliffs. Lecce is a city of size with full services, a large historic centre, and a concentration of Baroque churches and palaces in local pietra leccese. The area is known for Salento Baroque and for olive-growing on the peninsula.
