What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,654/m², or roughly €1,854/m² including an estimated €200/m² for its unspecified condition, this is about 3.5× the Puglia baseline of €528/m². The furnished villa, garden and terrace add appeal, but the inland location 29 km from the sea and missing condition/building data do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a polished, genuinely livable small villa with bright modern interiors, a fitted kitchen, complete bathroom, and attractive wood finishes. Its strongest feature is the unusually generous private outdoor space, with mature greenery, paved paths, a pool-like fenced area, covered dining terrace, and built-in barbecue. It feels more like a ready-made garden retreat than a typical €86k property, though the compact size and residence setting limit its full-time dream-home 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€3,000 – €6,000
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.
- Only 52 sqm, with a single bedroom.
- The property appears to be in a private residence, so shared fees and rules should be checked.
- No sea or mountain view is visible; the appeal is the landscaped garden and outdoor living areas.
- The outdoor paving, fencing, and landscaping may require ongoing maintenance.
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.
