I estimate modest works at about €200/m² (≈€15,800), so effective price is ≈€1,212/m². At 1 km from the sea this is attractive location-wise, but that effective price is ~70% above the typical Puglia level (~€711/m²), so it’s fair rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable town house with attractive original patterned floors, traditional shutters and a large rooftop terrace with clear views over the historic centre (San Domenico visible). The layout and existing bathrooms make it liveable now, but expect light-to-medium cosmetic work (kitchen, baths, damp patches and terrace sealing) to make it a comfortable dream home.
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.
- Signs of damp/patching on some ceilings — check for moisture and remedial work.
- Bathrooms and kitchen are dated and need updating; some cosmetic renovation required.
- Roof terrace and external stairs show wear and may need waterproofing/repairs.
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 68/100The cluster is on the Adriatic coast, with a working waterfront and small coves along this stretch of shoreline. Polignano a Mare lies nearby and is built on limestone cliffs above the sea. Bari is the nearest large city and has a port, rail links, a university, major hospitals and a substantial historic centre. This part of the coast is known for fishing, cherries and olive groves.
