What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€1,250/m²) and requiring renovation, estimated all-in cost is about €141,000 (€2,350/m²), versus the Puglia trullo baseline of €813/m². The panoramic setting and garden help, but the listing lacks condition, construction-year, and energy data.
More on the house and the area
The group of traditional Puglian trulli has strong historic character, distinctive conical roofs, surrounding land and a genuine panoramic rural setting. However, the interiors are empty stone shells with rubble floors and no evident modern services, making this a substantial restoration project rather than a realistically livable home today.
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€24,000 – €35,000
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.
- Major renovation required: raw floors, unfinished interiors and no visible usable bathroom or kitchen.
- Utilities, structural condition and roof watertightness should be verified.
- The land is overgrown and access/renovation permissions may add significant cost.
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

Within about 15 km are Locorotondo and Cisternino, both well-known hill towns of the Valle d’Itria; Locorotondo is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia and has a bandiera arancione. The area is known for trulli, whitewashed hill settlements, capocollo di Martina Franca and wine and olive production.
