At €58,000 (€483/m²), the 120 m² property appears to be a raw shell with systems still to be installed, bringing estimated all-in costs to about €190,000 (€1,583/m²), well above the local €688/m² reference. The facts call it a farmhouse while the description presents it as a central apartment, and the listing does not state the building year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
The strongest feature is the expansive rooftop/terrace outlook across the surrounding Puglian countryside, with good natural light and 120 sqm of potential. However, this is a raw unfinished shell with exposed blockwork, incomplete plumbing, no fitted bathrooms or kitchen, and no livable interior yet.
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€48,000 – €70,000
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.
- Empty unfinished shell requiring substantial renovation
- No finished floors, kitchen, bathrooms, or completed utilities
- Renovation costs and permits could significantly exceed the €58,000 purchase price
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.
