What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 75 sqm, the ask is €600/sqm, slightly below the local baseline of €729/sqm, but the stated 'needs renovation' implies about €700/sqm extra works, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,300/sqm. The private garden, terrace, 16 photos and authentic vaulted interiors in Salento support value, but after renovation this looks more like a solid livable project than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
The vaulted Salento ceilings give this house real character, and the private courtyard/garden is a genuine plus at this price. But it is not move-in ready: several rooms show damp, tired finishes and dated service areas, so this is a charming renovation project rather than an easy home. Still, it looks like a complete, usable house structure rather than a bare shell.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 58/100This is the Salento plain, a flat inland area of olive groves, vineyards and fields between the Ionian and Adriatic sides of the peninsula. The nearest coast for daily life is the Ionian shore around Porto Cesareo and Torre Lapillo, about 15 km away, with long sandy beaches and low coastal wetlands. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and major services. The area is known for wine production, especially around Salice Salentino, and for olive growing.
