Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €45,000 asking price is attractive at €180/m², but the house is explicitly to be renovated; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €880/m², above the local comparison level of €646/m². The property has generous space, garage, garden and parking, but Botrugno is 11 km from the sea and no condition or construction-year details are provided.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, practical Puglian house with a usable furnished living level, a private vegetable garden, garage, and generous outdoor space. It lacks striking views or historic character, but the 250 sqm scale and €45,000 price create strong value for someone seeking a real home rather than a ruin.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.
- The house is dated and advertised as needing renovation, despite the furnished upper floor appearing usable.
- Exterior walls show weathering and staining that should be checked for damp or maintenance issues.
- The large ground-floor garage/storage areas are utilitarian and unfinished-looking.
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 the inland Salento plain, with low limestone ground, olive groves and dense small-town settlement. The Adriatic coast is within about 15 km around Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme, where the shoreline is rocky rather than sandy. The area is known for Salento baroque towns, olive cultivation and the wider peninsula landscape between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Maglie is the nearest larger town and has the main everyday services, shops and rail connections for this part of south Salento.
