Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €47,000 (€540/m²), the home is listed about 22% below the local €688/m² comparison, with 87 m², three bedrooms, two bathrooms, parking and garden space. The description presents it as immediately habitable, but allowing roughly €200/m² for upgrades—especially given energy class G—puts the effective cost near €740/m²; its condition is not explicitly stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable Puglian country home surrounded by olive trees, with generous rooms, two bathrooms, outdoor space, and some traditional arches and terrazzo flooring. It is more practical than spectacular: the house appears move-in capable but dated, while the setting offers peaceful rural living rather than a dramatic 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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but quite dated, with basic finishes and older fixtures.
- The flat roof and exterior walls appear weathered and should be checked for waterproofing and maintenance.
- Rural private-road setting; utilities, heating arrangements, and year-round access should be verified.
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.

Ostuni is the nearest town of note in the wider area, with a substantial hill town centre. The area is known for olive oil, vineyards and Apulian agricultural landscapes.
