This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE", vendita telematica), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The ad also contradicts the facts: it says the villa is still under construction while the structured data marks it as habitable, so the low €121/m² is not a usable bargain signal here.
More on the house and the area
The hillside position gives a decent open outlook over the surrounding area, and the price is striking for the size. But the photos show a concrete shell under construction with no finished interiors, no bathrooms, and no evidence of immediate livability. This is a major project rather than a dream-ready Italian 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€98,000 – €174,000
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.
- In corso di costruzione: this is an unfinished shell, not a livable home.
- No bathrooms or finished interiors are shown.
- Likely significant completion costs and permits/checks needed.
- Auction sale adds practical/legal complexity.
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 lies on the Murge plateau, with karst countryside of dry-stone walls, olive groves and scattered farm buildings. The Grotte di Castellana are in the town’s immediate surroundings. Alberobello, with its UNESCO trulli districts, is nearby and the wider area overlaps the Valle d’Itria landscape known for trulli, masserie and limestone rural settlement.
