What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €33,000 for 56 sqm, the ask is €589/sqm, but with a typical needs-renovation allowance of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,289/sqm. That is far above this catalog’s Puglia townhouse baseline of €730/sqm, so despite the terrace/garden and decent photo count, the pricing looks weak for its condition.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic southern Italian character here, especially the vaulted ceilings, fireplace and the small private courtyard/garden. But this is not a ready dream home: it is a tired, cluttered house with a rough bathroom, worn kitchen and clear need for significant refurbishment. At €33k it has project appeal, yet the current wow comes more from potential than from present 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€11,000 – €20,000
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.

The area around
Location score 43/100This is the Salento plain, with flat agricultural land of olive groves, vineyards and fields between Brindisi and Lecce. The Adriatic coast is nearby around Campo di Mare and Torchiarolo, with low sandy shores and pinewoods rather than cliffs. Brindisi is the nearest city of size, with port services, a rail station and the airport. The area is known for wine production, especially Negroamaro, and for olive growing.
