At €775/m² before renovation, this is already above the local €647/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for the unspecified condition brings the effective cost near €975/m². The historic-center setting and 20 photos add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the house is move-in ready.
More on the house and the area
A characterful historic-center house with beautiful patterned cement tiles, barrel-vaulted rooms, stone details, and a terrace. It is a real roofed house rather than a ruin, but the interiors are cluttered and partly unfinished, with no visible kitchen and bathrooms needing work, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and clearing-out appear necessary.
- At least one bathroom is unfinished or missing fixtures, and there is no visible fitted kitchen.
- The property is in a dense historic-center setting with no garden or proven scenic view.
- Check damp, utilities, plumbing, and the condition of the old floors and roof.
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 56/100This is inland Salento on the limestone plain of the Grecìa Salentina, with olive groves, walled fields and low, flat countryside. The Adriatic coast around Otranto and the Ionian side around Gallipoli are outside the immediate 15 km radius, so they matter for access to the sea but not for the landscape score. Maglie is the nearest larger town, with rail links, shops and services, and Lecce is the main city for higher-level services. Corigliano d'Otranto is part of the Grecìa Salentina area, known for the Griko cultural tradition and Salento stone historic centres.
