What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 140 sqm, the ask is €557/sqm, below the local sub-€100k baseline of €690/sqm. But it is explicitly sold allo stato grezzo, so I estimate about €700/sqm to finish it, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,257/sqm; that makes it more of a solid custom-finish project than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid roofed structure with decent volume, but the real property shown is an unfinished shell rather than a home. There are no proven views, outdoor wow elements or historic character in the photos, so dream appeal is low despite the very cheap price and proximity to the sea. The renders show potential, not current livability.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.
- First-floor property is explicitly sold allo stato grezzo (unfinished shell).
- No bathroom is currently completed and no kitchen is installed.
- Interiors need full finishing works, systems and fittings before it is livable.
- Only CGI-style renderings suggest the finished look; current photos show raw spaces.
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

The Adriatic coast is about 10 km away, with the Torre Guaceto protected marine and coastal reserve on this stretch of shore. Brindisi is the nearest larger city, with a port, rail links and airport. The area is known for olive oil, masserie and the wider Alto Salento countryside.
