Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 (€714/m²), this historic-center townhouse is slightly above the local €632/m² benchmark; allowing about €200/m² for likely minor work gives an effective cost near €914/m². Its medieval setting, fireplace, double-glazed windows, and 26 photos add appeal, but the listing does not state the condition, energy class, or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric small home in Pietramontecorvino’s medieval Terravecchia, with beautiful exposed-stone architecture, arched openings, a cotto floor, and a characterful fireplace. The interiors are clean, furnished, and evidently livable rather than a renovation shell, but the space is modest and the kitchen and décor are dated.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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 compact at 35 sqm, best suited to one person or a couple.
- Kitchen and furnishings are dated and basic, though the home appears usable.
- No private garden, terrace, or broad scenic view is visible.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Daunian Hills, with cultivated hills, clay slopes and small valleys typical of the inland west of the province of Foggia. Pietramontecorvino has a substantial medieval centre with a Norman tower and is part of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Lucera is the nearest larger historic town, with services, a cathedral and the Swabian-Angevin fortress. This inland area is known for grain farming, olive groves and hill villages rather than for a single dominant natural feature.
