What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €551/m², the asking price is 17% below the Puglia baseline of €667/m², but after a modest €200/m² habitable-condition allowance the effective cost rises to about €751/m². The missing condition, energy data and incomplete description limit confidence; sea access is also relatively distant at 15 km.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Salento period home with beautiful star-vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, marble staircases, balconies, and strong traditional character. It appears to be a real, usable house rather than a shell, but the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and the urban setting limits the outdoor appeal.
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€8,000 – €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.
- Interiors are clearly dated, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, and would benefit from modernization.
- The home is in a dense town-center setting with no visible private garden or meaningful open view.
- It is the first floor of a period building, with access through a ground-floor entrance and internal stairs.
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 56/100This is inland Salento, a low limestone plain with olive groves and scattered small towns. The nearest coast in daily life is the Ionian side around Ugento and Torre San Giovanni, about 15 km away, with sandy shoreline and coastal pinewoods. The Serra di Supersano, a modest ridge in this part of southern Salento, lies by the town. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a university, hospitals and the Baroque historic centre. The area is known for olive growing and for the wider Salento cultural landscape of pajare, dry-stone walls and small historic centres.
