What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €577/m², the asking price is below the Puglia baseline of €667/m², but the property is explicitly to be renovated. Adding an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,277/m², so the discount disappears despite its central Salento-borgo location and 137 m² size.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial Salento town house with an attractive historic limestone façade, traditional vaulted ceilings, terrazzo floors, original doors, and a fireplace. It is a real, roofed house with a basic kitchen and bathroom rather than an empty shell, but the worn finishes, dated services, and lack of visible outdoor space mean it needs a serious renovation before becoming a comfortable dream home.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Clearly requires renovation and modernization throughout.
- Only one dated bathroom is shown for a six-room, two-level property.
- No outdoor space or meaningful view is evident in the photos.
- Exterior plaster and finishes show substantial weathering.
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 61/100This is the Salento plain in the south of the peninsula, with flat to gently rolling limestone countryside shaped by olive groves, dry-stone walls and small fields. The Adriatic coast is about 6 km away around Santa Cesarea Terme and Castro, with a low rocky shoreline and sea caves on this stretch. The nearest town of size is Maglie, which has the main local services and rail connections; Lecce is the main city for the area farther northwest. The area is known for Salento stone villages, olive-growing and the Greek-influenced cultural area of the Grecìa Salentina nearby.
