Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The 78 m² house costs €962/m² before works; allowing roughly €500/m² for partial renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,462/m², well above the local €629/m² benchmark. The preserved trullo, 6,000 m² of land and location 1 km from the sea add appeal, but the listing does not state the building age, energy class or precise renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
A distinctive Salento property with a preserved stone trullo, extensive 6,000 sqm grounds, mature vegetation, terraces, and a memorable Mediterranean character close to the Ionian coast. The house is not a bare shell—it has tiled floors, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, bedrooms, utilities, and usable vaulted rooms—but it needs meaningful updating and exterior work. At €75,000, the combination of trullo, land, and livable structure creates strong dream-home appeal.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- The main house needs partial renovation and the exterior has visibly unfinished or weathered areas.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a four-bedroom property.
- The highly polished promotional images contrast sharply with the rougher current-condition photos; verify exactly what work is completed.
- Large rural plot and access/utilities should be checked carefully.
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.
