At €45,000 (€450/m²), the low asking price is offset by substantial renovation: estimated all-in cost is about €115,000, or €1,150/m², versus roughly €688/m² for comparable Puglian homes. The 1.62-hectare olive and agricultural land adds value, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are or clarify the property’s current habitability.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic historic Puglian farmhouse with weathered pink façades, arches, vaulted rooms, and a large olive-grove setting. However, the interiors are raw, abandoned, and filled with rubble, so it is a major restoration project rather than a usable home today.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Uninhabitable in its current state: no bathroom, kitchen, or finished living spaces are shown.
- Substantial restoration is required, including clearing rubble, repairing cracked masonry and vaulted interiors, and verifying roof and structural stability.
- The 16,200 m² rural land and olive grove are attractive, but utilities, access, planning permissions, and restoration costs need confirmation.
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 nearest coast is the Adriatic around Brindisi and Torre Guaceto lies within about 15 km to the east-northeast, with protected coastal dunes, wetlands and sea.
