What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 for 50 sqm, the ask is €2,000/sqm; with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €2,700/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €629/sqm in Puglia villas. The trullo and large 12,836 sqm land add appeal, but at 11 km from the sea and with final renovation still needed, this looks expensive for the numbers.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely charming trullo with a photogenic exterior, beautiful stonework, and lots of olive-tree land around it. Inside, the vaulted stone rooms have character and proper floors, but it still reads as a rustic space needing real finishing rather than a ready home. Dreamy for a Puglian project, but not yet top-tier live-in wow.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.

The area around
Location score 82/100The area sits in the Valle d’Itria transition zone, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, olive groves and scattered trulli in the countryside around Ostuni.
