What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 64 m² trullo needs restoration, bringing estimated total cost to about €160,400 or €2,506/m² versus the Puglia baseline of €813/m². The 9,281 m² olive-grove plot adds land value, but the property is 15 km from the sea and is still priced far above comparable stock.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic three-cone trullo set among mature olive trees, with authentic stonework and strong Puglian character. However, it is explicitly a renovation property with no evidence of livable interiors, so the beautiful setting cannot lift it beyond the project-home range.
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€25,000 – €37,000
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.
- The trulli complex is explicitly sold for renovation and there are no visible interiors, bathrooms, or kitchen.
- The property appears to be a substantial restoration project rather than a move-in-ready home.
- Utilities, access, and planning status are not confirmed.
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 55/100This is the inland Salento plain of olive groves and small fields between the Adriatic side and the Murge. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Torre Santa Sabina and Ostuni Marina, about 15 km away. Ostuni is the nearest town of size; it has a large historic centre on a hill and is known as the Città Bianca. The Itria Valley with trulli towns such as Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino and Martina Franca lies within the wider surrounding area to the northwest, but the immediate 15 km radius is mainly agricultural countryside and small towns. This part of the province is known for olive oil and rural masserie.
