See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 40 m², with roughly €200/m² allowed for its stated good maintenance, the effective cost is about €1,325/m² versus a €600/m² local benchmark. The historic-center setting, private rooftop terrace and Puglia location add appeal, but they do not offset the substantial price premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable small Puglian home, not a ruin, with beautiful exposed tuff vaults, tiled floors, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, and a large private rooftop terrace. The historic character is strong, although the interiors are compact and somewhat dated, while the terrace looks more practical than luxurious and has no notable open view.
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€3,000 – €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.
- Only 40 sqm, making it best suited to one person, a couple, or holiday use.
- The home is reached through narrow historic-center access and internal stairs.
- The rooftop terrace is attractive but its waterproofing, utilities, and maintenance condition should be checked.
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 58/100The area is the low Murgia and coastal plain south of Bari, with flat to gently rolling farmland of olive groves, vineyards and vegetable fields. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the urban seafront at Torre a Mare and the coves and cliffs around Polignano a Mare within about 15 km. Bari is the nearest large city, with a full range of services, a historic centre, port and airport. This part of the Barese is known for table grapes and early vegetables.
