What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 107 sqm, the ask is €925/sqm; with a likely renovation/personalization cost of about €700/sqm from 'da personalizzare e rifinire', the effective cost is about €1,625/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €587/sqm. The score is supported by strong positives: only 1 km from the sea, detached villa format, and 39 photos, but it is not a deep discount once renovation is included.
More on the house and the area
The whitewashed Puglian exterior has real Mediterranean charm, and the detached setting with trees plus the near-sea location adds dream value. But the actual house is not move-in ready: inside it is only partly finished, with raw openings and incomplete kitchen/bath areas, so this is a livable-looking project rather than a ready home. At the price, it has appeal if you want a coastal base to finish properly.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Interior is unfinished and missing fitted kitchen/bathroom completion in the real photos.
- Some images appear to be virtual staging/renderings, so the polished look is not current reality.
- Outdoor space is mostly hard paving rather than landscaped garden.
- No sea view is shown despite the close-to-sea location.
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.
