Assumed heavy renovation at €700/m² → renovation ≈ €315,000; effective price ≈ €665,000 or ~€1,478/m² versus local median €778/m², so this is well above typical prices despite good sea access and large land. Listing does not state the property's condition or year of construction.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic Salento masseria with thick stone walls, vaulted rooms, a large walled garden of olive trees and a carved rock pool — exactly the atmospheric, rural property people dream of. The footprint and existing restored courtyard make it viable as a real home or boutique conversion, but several areas are still raw and will need finishing and formal checks on utilities/permits.
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€89,000 – €158,000
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.
- Some interior photos show raw vaulted stone rooms — parts of the masseria remain as shells and need finishing.
- Likely a significant renovation/fit-out to make the full 450 m² fully habitable (check utilities and permits).
- Confirm pool condition and whether restoration works already carried out are certified.
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 area is on the Ionian side of the Salento peninsula, with low limestone countryside of olive groves and fields and the coast at Torre San Giovanni and along the Ugento shoreline within about 15 km. The coast here includes long sandy beaches and stretches of dune and pinewood, and part of the coastal belt falls in the Parco naturale regionale Litorale di Ugento. Ugento has an established historic centre and archaeological museum, while Gallipoli is the nearest larger coastal town of note for daily services and a substantial old town. The area is known for Salento olive country and summer beach tourism.
