What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €633/m², the asking price is below the local €800/m² benchmark, and the property is only 5 km from the sea. However, the listing does not say whether the 158 m² historic masseria is habitable or how much restoration is required; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,329/m².
More on the house and the area
A characterful 19th-century Puglian masseria with arched stone façades, an outdoor fireplace, mature olive trees, flowering gardens and a strong sense of rural seclusion. The setting is highly appealing, near the sea and with substantial land, but the aged exterior and lack of interior photos suggest a renovation project rather than a clearly move-in-ready home.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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 gallery shows only exteriors, so the actual interior condition and day-to-day livability are unverified.
- The historic masonry, paving, roofing, utilities and outbuildings appear dated and may require substantial renovation.
- Access is partly via rural unpaved tracks; verify legal access, services and planning status.
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 55/100The area sits in the coastal plain between Andria and the Adriatic, with olive groves and arable land, and the Murge plateau rising inland. Castel del Monte lies within reach on the western side of Andria and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Ofanto river valley is nearby to the south. The nearest larger urban centre is Andria itself, which has full city services and a substantial historic centre, but this cluster is in the orbit of a city above 50,000 residents. The wider area is known for olive oil and table grapes.
