What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €96,000 for 111 sqm, the ask is about €865/sqm; in 'buono stato' I estimate light updates at ~€200/sqm, so effective cost is ~€1,065/sqm. That is well above this catalog's Puglia country-house baseline of €692/sqm, with only a small location boost from terrace/garden and being 13 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, bright and clearly livable home in good usable condition, with a large balcony and tidy finishes. But the beauty factor is modest: the exterior is ordinary, the interiors are generic rather than characterful, and the outlook is open but not scenic. Good value and practical, more than dreamy.
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.
- Modern semi-independent flat rather than a romantic country house
- No truly special view: mostly street, trees and open lots
- Interior is clean and usable but fairly plain and dated in style
- Only one bathroom shown for 111 sqm and 5 beds in the listing facts
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.
