At €401/m² vs baseline median €738/m², this is ~46% below market—strong discount. 237m² townhouse for €95k in central Manduria, fresh listing (6 days). Condition field says 'needs renovation' but description claims 'già abitabile' with new finishes—contradictory, so budget moderate reno (~€300/m²). Energy class and sea distance missing. Even with full renovation at ~€71k, total lands near baseline, leaving upside. 26 photos support legitimacy.
More on the house and the area
Large 237sqm townhouse at just €401/m² in central Manduria, Puglia. The overwhelming visual feature is the aggressive black-and-white checkerboard marble flooring in nearly every room, which is striking but highly polarizing rather than aspirational. Spaces are large and light with a central column and open living areas, but interiors read as dated and generic. Terraces are functional but hemmed in by stained concrete walls with no views. The main draw is size-for-price value, not visual wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€23,000 – €40,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Dramatic black-and-white checkerboard flooring throughout is polarizing and dates the interior
- Needs renovation despite listing claiming livable condition
- Terraces are enclosed by tall stained/weathered concrete walls with no view
- Rooftop terrace shows significant mold/staining and safety railings
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.
