See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000, the 60 m² farmhouse needs substantial renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,233/m² versus a local reference of €800/m². The 4,000 m² of land, terrace and garden support the price, but the property is not an obvious bargain.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the large olive-filled rural setting and the potential for terraces and outdoor living in Puglia. However, the house is a neglected, generic two-level structure requiring substantial renovation, and there is no photographic evidence that it is currently livable.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 is required, with visible weathering, vegetation overgrowth and deterioration to the terraces and stairs.
- No interior photos are provided, so the condition of the floors, bathroom, kitchen and utilities cannot be verified.
- The 4,000-square-metre olive grove is attractive, but access, water supply and legal status should be confirmed.
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 61/100This is the inland Salento around Gallipoli, with low limestone ground, olive groves and scattered rural buildings. The Ionian coast near Gallipoli is within about 15 km, with beaches and rocky shoreline around Rivabella, Padula Bianca and Santa Maria al Bagno. The Serre Salentine low ridge country lies across this part of the peninsula rather than any true mountains. Gallipoli is the nearest town of size, with a working old town on an island, port, services and rail links. In this part of Salento the area is known for olive cultivation, wine and summer seaside tourism.
