This is a true restoration project: at €75,000 for 78 sqm, the effective cost is about €2,062/sqm including ~€1,100/sqm renovation, versus a low-stock baseline of €590/sqm for Puglia villas. The large 14,000 sqm land and authentic trullo/lamia in the Valle d'Itria add appeal, but on pure numbers it is not cheap once full restoration is included.
More on the house and the area
This has real dream-property appeal: an authentic white trullo-lamia in the olive groves of the Valle d’Itria, with lovely traditional forms and a big piece of land. But the condition keeps it grounded: it is roofed and standing, yet interiors are sparse and rough and parts of the structure show visible wear, so this is a serious renovation project rather than an immediately livable home. Beautiful bones, strong atmosphere, but only mid-level wow because usability still needs work.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €46,000
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 83/100The cluster sits in the Valle d’Itria, a limestone upland of low ridges, dry-stone walls, olive groves and dispersed trulli between Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Cisternino. Martina Franca itself is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, Baroque churches and daily services. Locorotondo is within this area and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the Murgia is known for trulli, masserie, vineyards and olive oil.
