What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €86,000 (€544/m²), the asking price is slightly below comparable local listings, but only part of the 158 m² home is stated to be renovated and the remaining work could bring the effective cost to roughly €1,044/m². The private garden, garage and proximity to the Salento coast add appeal, though the listing does not specify the full renovation scope or technical condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, usable Salento house with attractive star-vaulted ceilings, a traditional fireplace, a private paved garden, kitchen, bathroom, and multiple living spaces. It is not a polished dream home: interiors are serviceable but dated, while the garden structures and exterior need work, although the house is described as having a renovated, habitable portion.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Part of the property appears dated and may need modernization.
- The garden-side outbuildings and exterior surfaces look rough and likely require renovation.
- The main rooms are currently furnished as a medical office, so residential layout and condition 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 61/100The area is the low Salento plain, with olive groves, dry-stone walls and scattered small towns. The Adriatic coast is about 6 km away around Castro and Marina di Andrano, with a rocky shoreline and sea caves. Otranto is the nearest town of size in this part of eastern Salento, with a historic centre and port. Santa Cesarea Terme is nearby on the coast and is known for its thermal baths. This part of Salento is known for olive cultivation and for the chain of small historic centres across the peninsula.
