What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 228 sqm, the ask is just €395/sqm; with a moderate estimated renovation cost of about €350/sqm for an older multi-level house with vague condition, the effective cost is about €745/sqm, only slightly above the already-low Puglia baseline of €693/sqm. The very large size, garage/seminterrato/terrace, 16 photos, and no concrete legal or structural red flags make this a strong value listing rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, real house rather than a project: kitchen, bathroom, floors, stairs and bedrooms are all in usable condition. The long balcony and some greenery add a little appeal, but the overall look is plain and quite dated rather than dreamy. At this price for 228 sqm near the Salento coast, the value is strong, but the wow is modest.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €44,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and need substantial cosmetic updating.
- No special view or notable architectural character shown.
- Only one bathroom for a very large house.
- Exterior facade is not really presented, so curb appeal is unclear.
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 43/100This is the Salento plain, with flat agricultural land of olive groves, vineyards and fields between Brindisi and Lecce. The Adriatic coast is nearby around Campo di Mare and Torchiarolo, with low sandy shores and pinewoods rather than cliffs. Brindisi is the nearest city of size, with port services, a rail station and the airport. The area is known for wine production, especially Negroamaro, and for olive growing.
