See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€593/m²), the house is near the local asking-price benchmark, but its €700/m² renovation estimate raises the effective cost to about €1,293/m²—well above comparable stock. It needs substantial renovation, has no heating, and the description emphasizes commercial or hospitality use as much as residential living.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, characterful Puglian townhouse with an attractive historic façade, ornate shutters and impressive star-vaulted ceilings throughout. The structure appears roofed and floored rather than ruined, but the interiors are very dated, damp-stained and largely empty, making it a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including plastering and addressing visible damp or moisture damage.
- No heating is currently available, and the gallery does not clearly show a finished modern bathroom or kitchen.
- The property faces a public street, so the main rooms may experience traffic and pedestrian noise.
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
