See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€917/m²) and needing full renovation, the estimated all-in cost is about €121,000, or roughly €2,017/m²—far above comparable sub-€100k homes in the area at €594/m². The historic-center location and original vaulted ceilings add appeal, but the listing cites approximately 50 m² while the headline facts state 60 m².
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric historic-center home beside an impressive church, with attractive stone surroundings, original vaulted ceilings and terrazzo-style floors. However, it is an empty renovation project with dated services and visible maintenance issues, so its beauty is mainly in the historic shell rather than current livability.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €35,000
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.
- Requires substantial renovation rather than immediate move-in living.
- No finished kitchen is visible, and the bathroom appears basic and dated.
- Visible damp, peeling finishes, exposed wiring and aging installations need inspection and repair.
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 61/100The area is the inland edge of the Ionian Salento, with mostly flat to gently rolling ground planted with vineyards and olive groves. The nearest coast is the Ionian coast around San Pietro in Bevagna, with sandy shoreline and low Mediterranean scrub. Manduria is the main town nearby and has a substantial historic centre, everyday services, and the archaeological remains of the Messapian walls and necropolis. The area is known above all for Primitivo di Manduria wine.
