What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 and needing renovation, estimated effective cost is about €1,256/m² using the stated 160 m², versus a €678/m² regional baseline. The listing is internally inconsistent, describing two apartments totaling about 200 m² while the facts report 160 m²; condition and other key details are also missing.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid-looking Salento townhouse with two independent levels, a broad corner balcony, colorful façade, traditional mosaic floors, stone arches, and a substantial fireplace. It is not a ruin: the kitchen, bathrooms, heating radiators, roofline, and circulation are present, but several rooms are dusty, stripped, and visibly in need of real renovation before comfortable full-time living. At €89,000 for roughly 160–200 m², the size and character create genuine potential, though the town setting lacks a dramatic view or private outdoor space.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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 and modernization are needed, especially ceilings, finishes, wiring, and at least one largely stripped room.
- Urban setting with no garden and only limited outlook from the balcony.
- The listing describes two independent apartments, but the photographed condition and exact usable area should be verified.
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 73/100The cluster lies in the Salento peninsula, in flat to gently undulating countryside of olive groves and fields. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the long sandy shore of Torre San Giovanni and the low dune and pinewood belt along this stretch of coast. The area includes the Litorale di Ugento Regional Natural Park on the coast. Ugento is the nearest town of size, with an old centre and an archaeological museum; Gallipoli and the larger services of Lecce are farther away for higher-order needs. The area is known for olive growing and for the beaches of the southwest Salento coast.
