Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 91 m² I estimate modest works (~€200/m²) giving an effective cost of ~€83,200 (≈€914/m²), well above the regional median of €709/m². Good location (5 km from the sea, historic centre access, terrace) but the listing does not state the property condition or energy class, which reduces confidence.
More on the house and the area
Classic Salento town house with original star‑vaulted ceilings, a private 90 m² courtyard with citrus trees and a large panoramic roof terrace — very characterful. The interior is habitable but dated and would benefit from a refresh; utilities appear connected so it’s a realistic, affordable move‑in/short‑term project.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Cosmetic renovation and modernisation needed (kitchen, bathroom, finishes).
- Street‑front location on a main road may mean traffic noise and limited privacy.
- Roof/terrace surfaces look aged 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 72/100The cluster lies in the lower Salento peninsula, with a flat to gently undulating karst landscape of olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Adriatic coast is close at Marina di Novaglie and the Ionian side is also nearby, so daily life is tied to a narrow peninsula between two seas. The Ciolo inlet near Gagliano del Capo is within the area, with a limestone coastal ravine and cliffs on the Adriatic. Santa Maria di Leuca, at the end of the peninsula, is the nearest larger coastal centre, with a port and year-round services. Alessano is in an area known for Salento rural landscapes, olive cultivation and coastal watchtowers.
