Listing describes the unit explicitly as a 'deposito' (storage) rather than a dwelling, so legal conversion to a home is likely required; at 28 m² and €85,000 with a very large 3,539 m² garden the conversion/upgrade work is estimated very high (~€1,100/m²). The property appears sold as non-residential, so treat this as a likely trap unless the seller confirms it can be legally regularized.
More on the house and the area
A charming, characterful dry‑stone Puglian building with intact roof and a usable rooftop terrace looking over olive groves — very photogenic. The structure appears solid and immediately attractive, but the interior is tiny and was used as a storage room so expect conversion work to make it a comfortable full‑time home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €16,000
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.
- Very small interior (28 m²) — essentially one main room
- Advertised/used as a deposito — likely needs internal fit‑out (kitchen/finished living spaces)
- Weathered doors/woodwork and some cosmetic repairs required
- Rural setting — check access, utilities and distance to services despite sea ~3 km
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 a few kilometres inland from the Ionian coast, with low agricultural land of olive groves and vineyards around Gallipoli. The nearest coast is the Gulf of Taranto at Gallipoli and Rivabella, with beaches and a low rocky shoreline within a short drive. Gallipoli is the nearest town of size, with a walled old town on an island linked to the mainland, a fishing port and full everyday services. The area is known for Salento wine and olive cultivation.
