At €1,333/m² before any work, this apartment is already over twice the €600/m² level typical of comparable low-cost stock; with an estimated €700/m² renovation allowance, the effective cost is about €2,033/m². The listing only says “apartment in Fasano” and does not state its condition, layout, or habitability, so the price is not justified by the available information.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, furnished Puglian home with beautiful vaulted ceilings, stone arches, tiled floors, and a handsome traditional facade. The interiors appear finished and usable rather than a renovation shell, though the apartment is compact and somewhat dark, with no outdoor space or view shown.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Compact 60 sqm layout with limited natural light in the main living areas.
- No private garden, terrace, or scenic view is shown.
- Verify the bathroom and utility details, as the listing facts are incomplete.
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 74/100The cluster lies in the Fasano area between the Adriatic coast and the inland rise of the Murgia dei Trulli. The coast here includes long sandy stretches around Torre Canne and Savelletri as well as lower rocky sections. The plain inland is planted with olive groves and gives way to the trulli countryside toward Locorotondo, Cisternino and Alberobello. The Parco naturale regionale Dune costiere da Torre Canne a Torre San Leonardo is within this stretch of coast. Fasano is the nearest town of size and has the full set of everyday services; Monopoli and Ostuni are the nearest larger historic centres in the wider area. Alberobello, within this inland trulli zone, is UNESCO-listed for the trulli. This area is known for olive groves, masserie and trulli landscapes.
