What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 91 sqm, the asking price is €824/sqm; assuming a basically habitable layout, the effective cost is about €1,024/sqm including light updates. That is above the very low local baseline of €800/sqm for sub-€100k stock in Puglia, but 2 baths, a terrace, 39 photos, and a flexible two-unit layout support a still-good score rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with bright rooms, high star-vaulted ceilings and a small balcony that gives it some airy charm. The condition looks solid and move-in ready, with functioning kitchen and bathrooms, but the overall aesthetic is simple rather than dreamily beautiful. It feels more like a practical, characterful apartment than a true scroll-stopping Italian fantasy.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Currently split into two small independent apartments
- Interior is clean but fairly plain and modernized
- Balcony outlook is pleasant town/trees rather than truly spectacular
- Photos do not show the exterior facade clearly
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.
