What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 130 sqm, the asking price is €762/sqm; with an estimated light completion cost of about €300/sqm because 60 sqm basement is still unfinished, the effective cost is about €1,062/sqm. That is above the low internal baseline of €590/sqm for Puglia villas, but the house is habitable, built in 1996, has 38 photos, and sits about 4 km from the sea in a strong tourist area, which supports a solid but not exceptional score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small villa rather than a ruin: tiled floors, bathroom, fireplace, doors/windows and outdoor space are all in place. The setting has some greenery and privacy near the sea, but the house itself is visually quite ordinary and dated. It feels more like a practical, affordable liveable home with refresh potential than a true dream-property scroll stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and a bit weathered rather than photogenic.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, with an unfinished/empty kitchen area.
- Only one bedroom and one bathroom in the finished living space.
- Basement is still raw/unfinished, so extra usable space needs investment.
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.
