What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 150 sqm, the asking price is €567/sqm, but with an estimated €500/sqm renovation the effective cost is about €1,067/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €629/sqm in Puglia, so it does not screen as cheap. The text contradicts the facts by calling it both 'completely renovated and ready to live in' and a rustic property with differing size/details, which lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
The rural Puglian setting and the stone pajara give it some dream-factor, and €85k for 5,000 sqm is eye-catching. But the actual house shown in the real photos is largely an unfinished shell, with the polished interiors appearing to be renderings rather than completed spaces. This feels more like a promising project than a ready home.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Main house appears unfinished/al grezzo in several photos, despite staged renderings.
- Livability is unclear: kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms shown look like visualizations, not completed rooms.
- Rural setting is peaceful but there is no proven sea or scenic view.
- Historic stone pajara/trullo-like outbuilding may need separate restoration.
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 53/100The area lies on the Salento plain in the Grecia Salentina zone, with olive groves and flat to gently undulating farmland. The Adriatic coast is reached at Torre dell'Orso and Otranto beyond the 15 km radius, so it does not define the immediate landscape. Maglie is the nearest larger town and has the main local services and rail connections; Lecce is the main city for the area. Corigliano d'Otranto is known for Griko culture and for its historic centre and castle.
