What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 147 sqm, the ask is just €374/sqm versus a €694/sqm local baseline, and it is only 4 km from the sea. It is explicitly completely to be renovated, so I assume about €1,100/sqm renovation; despite that heavy works cost, the entry price and location still make it a strong renovation deal.
More on the house and the area
The star-vaulted rooms on the ground floor give it real southern Italian character, and the size-for-price near the sea is appealing. But this is clearly a tired, worn house with damp, dated finishes and a stated full renovation need rather than a ready-to-live dream home. It feels like a solid old structure with potential, not an immediate wow property.
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€58,000 – €86,000
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.
- Needs full renovation despite being currently enclosed and floored
- Visible damp/peeling plaster in several rooms and corridors
- Exterior is very plain and weathered
- No views, garden or outdoor living shown
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 68/100This is the Salento limestone plain near the Adriatic coast. The Adriatic is close at Porto Badisco and Santa Cesarea Terme, with a low rocky shoreline and sea caves in this stretch. Otranto is the nearest town of size, with a walled historic centre and port. Santa Cesarea Terme is a thermal seaside town. The area is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls, pajare rural stone shelters, and prehistoric dolmens and menhirs found in this part of inland Otranto-Salento.
