At €35,000 plus an estimated €27,300 renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,598/m²—well above the €688/m² local benchmark. The listing emphasizes potentially buildable land with a trullo, but gives no bathrooms or bedrooms and does not clearly confirm residential habitability; Polignano a Mare is nevertheless a valuable coastal location.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic traditional Puglian trullo set among mature olive trees, with exceptional stonework and a beautifully distinctive conical roof. However, the interior is an uninhabitable bare shell with no visible services, bathroom, kitchen, or finished flooring, so this is a renovation project rather than a ready home.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The trullo is an empty stone shell with dirt floors and no bathroom or kitchen.
- Major renovation and utility installation appear necessary before it could be lived in.
- Building and redevelopment permissions should be verified, especially as the listing describes the land as potentially buildable.
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 78/100The area is on the Adriatic limestone coast, with low cliffs and small coves around Polignano a Mare and Monopoli within about 15 km. The Lama Monachile inlet and the sea caves along the coast are the main local landscape feature. Inland, the terrain is a karst plateau of olive groves and dry-stone walls that leads toward the Valle d’Itria farther south. Monopoli is the nearest larger town in range and has a port and a substantial historic centre. Polignano a Mare is a well-known coastal town with a historic centre set on the cliff edge.
