See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€812/m²), the house is already above the local €646/m² benchmark before renovation. With €600/m² estimated to finish the interiors, the effective cost is about €1,412/m²; the central location, garden, new systems and original stone vaults add appeal, but the project is not attractively priced.
More on the house and the area
The Lecce-stone walls, star vaults, and repeated arches give this 80 sqm home strong Salento character and genuine visual appeal. However, it is clearly a finishing project rather than a usable home today, with bare floors, incomplete service areas, and visible moisture marks.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Not move-in ready: the interiors are unfinished and appear to lack a completed kitchen and bathroom.
- Visible damp staining and neglected surfaces need investigation and remediation.
- Budget for final finishes, fixtures, and possibly additional plumbing or electrical work.
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

The nearest town of size is Lecce, which has a large historic centre in baroque stone, major services and rail links. The Adriatic coast is the nearest coast, with the shore around San Cataldo and the wetlands and pinewoods of the Le Cesine State Nature Reserve within roughly 15 km. The area is known for Salento olive country and for Lecce baroque.
