What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 for 125 sqm, the asking price is just €304/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €833/sqm in Puglia country houses. With no clear condition stated, I assume a needs-renovation profile at about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,004/sqm: still plausible for a large house with utilities already connected, but not a screaming bargain after works.
More on the house and the area
This has real southern-Italian character inside, with impressive vaulted ceilings and generous rooms that feel like an actual house rather than a shell. The exterior is plain and a bit tired, but the home appears structurally usable, with bathroom, kitchen and services already connected. At €38k for 125 sqm plus courtyard, it has genuine bargain appeal if you can handle cosmetic updating.
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€25,000 – €44,000
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.
- Facade shows cracking and worn plaster
- Interiors are habitable but very dated and quite dark
- Likely needs modernization despite utilities being connected
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.

Lecce is the nearest city of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for Salice Salentino wine production.
