In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €645/m² the asking price is below the Puglia townhouse baseline of €714/m², with a strong sea-side location and 47 photos. However, estimated renovation raises the effective cost to about €1,345/m² (€208,500 total), substantially above the baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuine townhouse with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, solid floors, air conditioning, and a usable layout. Its strongest appeal is the generous 155 sqm and apparent proximity to the coast, but the dated finishes, plain setting, and renovation needs make it more of a practical Salento base than a dream-home standout.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 56/100The area is the inland Salento plain around Manduria, with vineyards and olive groves. The Ionian coast is the nearest major natural feature, with the shore around San Pietro in Bevagna and the mouth of the Chidro river within roughly 15 km from Manduria. Manduria is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, Messapian archaeological remains and wine production tied to Primitivo di Manduria, which is what the area is chiefly known for.
