Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €734/m², the €69,000 asking price is already above the local €595/m² reference; allowing about €200/m² for an apparently usable but energy-poor home brings the effective cost to roughly €934/m². The historic-center setting, terrace and stone character add appeal, but the listing does not say whether major systems or the roof need work.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely characterful Puglian home in a photogenic stone-lined historic alley, with extensive exposed masonry, a substantial fireplace, wrought-iron details, and a distinctive spiral staircase. Unlike a mere rustic shell, it has tiled floors, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, heating, and usable bedrooms, making it a real home with mainly cosmetic and furnishing work rather than a major reconstruction.
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 – €11,000
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 rooftop terrace is mentioned but not clearly shown, so its condition, size, privacy, and views are uncertain.
- The upper floor appears quite basic and may need cosmetic updating; the energy rating is G.
- The narrow historic-center access may limit parking and car access.
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 50/100This is the inland Murge around Acquaviva delle Fonti, with a low limestone plateau of fields, olive groves and scattered masserie. The area is known for the red onion of Acquaviva and for agricultural land on karst ground. Within about 15 km the main places of size are Acquaviva itself and nearby Santeramo in Colle, with ordinary town centres and daily services; Bari is farther away and does not change the immediate landscape.
