At €90,000 (€1,636/m²), the asking price is well above the local low-price benchmark of €646/m²; allowing roughly €700/m² for an older stone home with unclear condition makes the effective cost about €2,336/m². Its historic-center location in Ostuni adds value, but the listing does not say whether the property is habitable or renovated.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric Ostuni town house with beautiful barrel-vaulted ceilings, arched openings, traditional stone-town character, and a furnished layout that appears immediately usable. It is not a polished dream renovation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and visible wall damp needs investigation, but this is a real livable home rather than a bare shell.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.
- Visible damp or moisture staining on several walls, especially in the living area and bedroom.
- Kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated and compact.
- No outdoor space or view is shown; the home is in a dense historic-center setting.
- The listing description appears truncated, so the full layout and condition of the second area should be verified.
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 85/100The area sits in the Valle d’Itria landscape of low limestone hills, olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the marina of Villanova and the Torre Guaceto stretch to the north within the wider local area. Ostuni itself is a substantial hill town with a dense historic center on the ridge and everyday services. The area is known for whitewashed towns, olive oil and masserie.
