What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €789/m², the asking price is already 49% above the Puglia baseline of €528/m²; adding an estimated €200/m² for unspecified condition gives an effective cost near €989/m². The 2,000 m² garden, fireplace, parking and proximity to Latiano add value, but the missing condition, age and energy data limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
A bright, well-kept Puglian villa with a particularly appealing 2,000-square-metre garden, mature trees, shaded veranda, and generous paved outdoor space. The house appears genuinely move-in ready, with a functioning kitchen, fireplace, bathroom, and furnished bedrooms, though its beauty is more tranquil and practical than spectacular and there is no notable view or historic architecture.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 one bathroom is shown for a four-bedroom property.
- The large garden and outdoor areas may require ongoing maintenance.
- No interior utility, heating, or energy details are provided.
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.
