What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €18,000 for about 90 sqm (€200/sqm), but the description says da ristrutturare, so I estimate ~€700/sqm renovation, giving an effective cost around €900/sqm. That is roughly in line with the low Puglia baseline of €892/sqm, so the price is good but not a huge discount; the small garden adds a minor plus.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic Puglian character here: simple old-town massing and attractive vaulted ceilings inside. But this is clearly a serious renovation project, not a usable home yet, with stripped, neglected rooms and rough exterior condition. The small courtyard helps a little, and at €18k the price is appealing, but the dream factor is limited by livability.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Full renovation needed
- Interiors look bare and neglected rather than habitable
- Tiny outdoor space only, not a real garden experience
- No view or notable setting shown
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.
