What it really costs
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,000 asking price is primarily for 13,000 m² of land with only a small rustic structure, not a clearly habitable 21 m² dwelling. Legal residential status and condition are unspecified, so this fails the catalog's livable-home criteria despite the Puglia location.
More on the house and the area
A beautiful Puglian rural setting with mature olive trees, prickly pears, stone walls, and a secluded 13,000 sqm plot near Carovigno and the sea. The tiny rustic structure has visual character, but it appears overgrown and likely requires substantial renovation, so this is a land-and-project opportunity rather than a home you can live in immediately.
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.
- The 21 sqm structure appears to be a raw, overgrown rustic shell rather than a usable home.
- No interior photos are provided, so the bathroom, utilities, roof condition, and actual livability are unverified.
- The property is primarily 13,000 sqm of land; building rights and permission to construct should be 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.
