At €758/m², the asking price is about 28% above comparable Puglia country homes, rising to roughly €958/m² if modest updating is needed. The description presents a spacious, apparently habitable home with balconies and a private roof terrace, but it does not state the construction age or actual condition.
More on the house and the area
A spacious Puglian first-floor home with beautiful repeated arches, vaulted ceilings, patterned floors, a fireplace, balconies, and a private rooftop terrace. It is a genuine, roofed house rather than a shell, but the unfurnished photos show a dated property needing substantial cosmetic and likely systems work before it feels fully move-in ready.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 real interior appears dated and needs renovation, especially the kitchen and tiled utility areas.
- Walls and ceilings show patching, wear, and possible damp-related staining.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the photos do not establish the condition of plumbing, wiring, or roof.
- No meaningful landscape or sea view is visible; the outdoor spaces appear urban and balcony-based.
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.
