In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €19,000 (€514/m²), the low purchase price is offset by a complete internal renovation estimated at about €25,900, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,214/m² versus a local benchmark of €714/m². The listing describes a full project rather than a habitable home, and it does not say whether a bathroom or other essential systems are already usable.
More on the house and the area
The vaulted ceilings, arched openings and original stone flooring give this tiny Puglian townhouse genuine historic charm and strong renovation potential. However, the real photos show a largely empty, deteriorated shell rather than a usable home, with no bathroom and substantial internal work required. At €19,000 it is an appealing project, but not yet a dream home to live in.
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€7,000 – €13,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires a complete internal renovation; the attractive furnished images appear to be staged/design renderings rather than the current condition.
- No bathroom is listed, and the actual photos show unfinished wiring, damaged plaster, damp-looking walls and unfinished rooms.
- Only 37 sqm, so the layout and renovation budget need careful checking.
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 62/100The area sits on the Murge plateau, with a dry karst landscape of open fields, vineyards, olive groves and patches of oak woodland. Alta Murgia National Park begins within roughly this radius to the northwest, with limestone uplands, sinkholes and steppe-like pasture. Gioia del Colle has a substantial historic centre and a Norman-Swabian castle. Acquaviva delle Fonti is the nearest larger town in the area, with services and a built historic core. This part of inland Bari is known for wine production, especially Primitivo di Gioia del Colle, and for dairy farming on the plateau.
