What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €615/m², the asking price is 9% below the Puglia baseline of €678/m², but the condition is unspecified and the description only highlights potential, so a €700/m² renovation allowance is prudent. With estimated works, the effective cost is about €1,231/m², making this an ordinary renovation project rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic Puglian townhouse with an elegant historic façade, arched entrance, ornate stonework, original patterned floors and beautiful vaulted ceilings. The house appears solid and genuinely livable rather than a renovation shell, though it would benefit from cosmetic updating and modernization.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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 fully floored and appear usable, but finishes, kitchen and bathroom are quite dated.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 130 sqm, four-bedroom home.
- Urban central setting offers no visible private garden, terrace or scenic view.
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

Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic centre and Baroque monuments. The area is known for wine production, including the Salice Salentino zone close by.
