See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €86,000 asking price is €570/m², but allowing about €200/m² for a home described as being in good condition gives an effective cost near €769/m², above the local €594/m² benchmark. The 49 m² garage, extensive terraces and panoramic views add value, but the property is 8 km from the sea and energy class G may mean higher running costs.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, bright Salento home with polished traditional stone flooring, a working fireplace, balconies, and exceptionally generous terraces culminating in a 360° rooftop panorama. It appears to be a solid, genuinely livable house rather than a renovation shell, although the kitchen needs fitting out and the outdoor areas need some upkeep. The large garage and 8 km distance to the sea add practical appeal, while the town setting is pleasant rather than dramatically picturesque.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- The interiors are clean and usable but largely unfurnished, with an unfinished kitchen area visible.
- The roof terrace and exterior walls show some age and would benefit from maintenance.
- Energy class G suggests likely high heating or cooling costs.
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 57/100The area is the Salento plain in the far south of Puglia, with flat to gently rolling ground dominated by olive groves and cultivated land. The nearest coast is the Ionian shore around Lido Marini and Torre Pali, with low sandy stretches and small coastal settlements. Santa Maria di Leuca is the nearest major landmark of the lower Salento tip, where the peninsula narrows and the Adriatic and Ionian sides meet. Casarano and Tricase are the nearest larger towns in daily use, with hospitals, secondary schools and the main services for the inland part of the lower Salento. Presicce is known for its underground oil mills and for the historic fabric typical of southern Salento towns.
