In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€615/m²), this habitable 130 m² townhouse is priced below the local €714/m² benchmark, with a garage, roof terrace, heating and a central Salve location only 4 km from the sea. Allowing roughly €26,000 for updates brings the effective cost to about €815/m², making it a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Salento townhouse with beautiful traditional star-vaulted ceilings, generous rooms, a private outdoor courtyard, roof access, and a garage. It is dated rather than polished, but the solid, furnished condition and traditional character make this a real home—not a renovation shell—at an attractive €80,000 price point.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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 home appears habitable but dated, with older furnishings and finishes.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 130 sqm, two-bedroom townhouse.
- The roof terrace and upper outbuilding are not clearly shown in the gallery.
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 72/100The cluster is at the southern end of the Salento peninsula, with a low limestone landscape of olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Ionian coast is close at Torre Vado and the Adriatic side of Capo di Leuca is also nearby, with rocky shore and small inlets around Santa Maria di Leuca. Santa Maria di Leuca is the nearest centre of note, with a harbour and the sanctuary at the end of the peninsula. The area is known for the meeting of the two seas at the tip of Salento and for coastal tourism.
