In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although listed as renovated at €1,182/m², the description says it is in a rustic unfinished state and needs completion. Including roughly €1,100/m² for the works brings the effective cost to about €2,282/m², far above the €714/m² local benchmark; the 1 km distance from the sea adds some value but does not offset the gap.
More on the house and the area
The property has a sunny rooftop terrace and a coastal Puglia setting, but the surrounding outlook is ordinary rather than spectacular. Inside it is a bare masonry shell with exposed services, rubble floors and no usable kitchen or bathroom, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a livable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €32,000
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.
- Empty unfinished shell requiring substantial completion, including floors, finishes, doors/windows, kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
- Utilities and final systems appear incomplete; actual connection status is unclear.
- Outdoor areas are currently untidy and overgrown, with no confirmed scenic view.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of the Salento peninsula, with low rocky shore and small inlets around Torre Suda and the marina of Racale. The nearest larger beach system is around Gallipoli to the north, while the inland landscape is the flat to gently undulating Salento plain with olive groves and dry-stone walls. Ugento is the nearest town of some size to the south, and Gallipoli is the nearest larger coastal centre with a full harbour, services and a substantial historic core. The area is known for Salento seaside tourism and for olive-growing.
