Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The 90 m² villa needs substantial renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €128,000 or €1,422/m² versus €500/m² for comparable local homes. The 3,500 m² of land, garage and distinctive trullo add appeal, but the property is not a bargain at the current asking price.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Puglian country home with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and sitting room, plus a charming rustic atmosphere. The real draw is the large mature garden and the cluster of traditional trulli, although the trullo itself is a renovation project and the house needs cosmetic updating.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- The trullo and some ancillary rooms require renovation.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with visible ceiling/wall wear and basic finishes.
- Large garden/land will require ongoing maintenance.
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 51/100The area sits on the Murge threshold into the Salento plain, with mostly flat to gently rolling agricultural land of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The nearest larger centres are Brindisi and Taranto, both with full city services, ports and rail connections. Ostuni, with its hill town and historic centre, is nearby on the same inland belt. This part of Puglia is known for olive oil, wine and rural masserie.
