See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says "ASTA IMMOBILIARE", so this is a judicial auction and triggers an automatic veto regardless of price or location. It is listed at €97,540 for 106 sqm (€920/sqm) and appears habitable, but auction status makes it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a real, usable villa rather than a shell: finished floors, furnished rooms and a beamed living area suggest immediate basic livability. The palm-lined drive and surrounding land add some appeal, but the house itself is visually plain and there are no proven views or standout historic features. Near Gallipoli and close to the sea, it feels more practical bargain than dream-home wow.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 quite plain and the setting is not especially scenic in the photos.
- Interiors look habitable but dated and somewhat cluttered, so expect cosmetic updating.
- Auction sale: documentation, occupancy and condition details should be checked carefully.
- Bathroom/kitchen quality is not clearly shown in the provided photos.
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 82/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of the Salento peninsula. The sea is the defining feature here, with the Gulf of Taranto shoreline and the beaches and low rocky stretches around Gallipoli within the local landscape. The old town of Gallipoli stands on a limestone island linked to the mainland and has a port, seafront, churches and a built historic centre. To the north, the Porto Selvaggio e Palude del Capitano Regional Park is within the local area, with pine woodland, coastal inlets and protected shoreline. This part of Salento is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls and summer beach tourism.
