What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €94,000 for 158 sqm, the ask is €595/sqm; assuming a habitable-condition refresh at about €200/sqm, the effective cost is about €795/sqm, still slightly below the €833/sqm local baseline. Good size, 21 photos, independent house with garden, and only 7 km from the sea support a strong score.
More on the house and the area
The star-vaulted rooms give this house real Apulian character, and it is clearly a solid, usable home rather than a project shell. However, the prettiest spaces are mixed with dated secondary rooms and a plain courtyard, so the dream factor is moderate rather than high. At this price and size near the coast, it still has appealing value.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Part of the home feels dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The courtyard/exterior areas are functional rather than beautiful.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a fairly large house.
- Some rooms appear set up for office/medical use, so layout/style may need reworking for residential living.
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 61/100The area is the low Salento plain, with olive groves, dry-stone walls and scattered small towns. The Adriatic coast is about 6 km away around Castro and Marina di Andrano, with a rocky shoreline and sea caves. Otranto is the nearest town of size in this part of eastern Salento, with a historic centre and port. Santa Cesarea Terme is nearby on the coast and is known for its thermal baths. This part of Salento is known for olive cultivation and for the chain of small historic centres across the peninsula.
