What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€531/m²), the 160 m² house needs renovation estimated at about €700/m², producing an effective cost near €1,231/m² versus the Puglia baseline of €667/m². The historic star-vault architecture and private garden add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
A handsome historic Puglian townhouse with a striking pink façade, ornate doorway, original patterned cement tiles, elegant star vaults, and a carved fireplace. It is a substantial 160 sqm house with real character, but currently feels uninhabitable without major plaster, damp-proofing, electrical, plumbing, kitchen, and cosmetic work.
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- Substantial renovation is required, with widespread peeling plaster, damp-looking walls, and outdated services.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the kitchen appears to need complete modernization.
- No view or mature garden is demonstrated in the photos; the home fronts directly onto a public street.
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.
