What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €769/m², this €50,000 house needs substantial renovation; estimated effective cost is about €1,469/m² (€95,500 total), versus a €667/m² local baseline. Central Maglie location and preserved star vaults add appeal, but the renovation burden makes it only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine old Puglian home with beautiful, well-preserved star-vaulted ceilings and a traditional fireplace, giving it real historic character. It is roofed and has finished rooms and a bathroom, but the neglected courtyard and visible maintenance issues mean it needs meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable full-time home.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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 needed, including damp/peeling finishes and worn floors.
- The small garden/courtyard is neglected and surrounded by unfinished masonry.
- Kitchen fittings and some electrical/plumbing details appear incomplete or dated.
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 58/100This is the inland Salento plain. The Adriatic coast is the nearest coast, with the Otranto area and its rocky shoreline roughly within 15 km. Maglie is the nearest town of size and has the usual services, shops and rail connections; Lecce is the main city for higher-order services farther away. This part of Salento is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls and the local pietra leccese and carparo stone-working landscape.
