What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 20 sqm, the asking price is €3,900/sqm; with a full restoration estimate of about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €5,000/sqm versus a local baseline of €775/sqm. The approved extension project, pool and Ostuni/Puglia location add value, but as currently offered it is a tiny trullo to renovate and is priced far above the baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a very photogenic trullo with authentic stone interior and strong Puglian character. But as shown it is essentially a tiny raw shell: charming, structurally standing, yet not a usable home in its current state. The approved expansion and land add dream value, though the present livability is minimal.
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€8,000 – €12,000
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.
- Tiny 20 sqm one-room shell with no bathroom or kitchen
- Needs full renovation despite decent structural condition
- Walled outdoor area looks bare and unfinished
- Livability depends on executing the approved expansion project
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.
