What it really costs

Move in as it is
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €60,000 asking price is €667/m², below the local €714/m² benchmark, and the house is described as habitable, furnished, and ready to live in. Allowing roughly €18,000 for normal updates gives an effective cost of about €867/m²; the historic-center location, terrace, courtyard, garage, and fireplaces support the price.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, move-in-ready Puglian townhouse with abundant space, two fireplaces, traditional terrazzo floors, handsome wooden joinery and plenty of authentic furniture character. The private roof terrace and internal courtyard add real lifestyle value, while €60,000 for 90 m² near the Salento coast is compelling. It is not a polished dream renovation, but it is a usable historic home rather than a project.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 interiors are habitable but largely dated, especially the kitchen, bathrooms and furnishings.
- The roof terrace and exterior walls show weathering and may need maintenance.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a three-bedroom home; utilities and legal status are not verified.
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, with low agricultural land of olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Adriatic coast is close, with the inlet at Porto Badisco and the coast around Otranto within about 10 km. Giurdignano is in the area known for a dense concentration of prehistoric dolmens and menhirs. Otranto is the nearest town of size; it has a walled historic centre, a castle, and a cathedral with its mosaic floor. The area is known more broadly for olive country and the Salento coast.
