At €90,000 for about 50–55 m² and complete renovation, estimated works of roughly €60,500 put the effective cost near €2,700/m², far above the local €646/m² benchmark. The historic-center location, private light well and four cisterns add appeal, but do not offset the very high all-in price.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Ostuni old-town house with graceful vaulted ceilings, traditional terrazzo floors, antique furnishings, and a private courtyard. It appears structurally intact and currently furnished, but the damp walls, primitive kitchen, worn courtyard, and advertised need for complete renovation keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€22,000 – €32,000
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.
- Advertised as completely requiring renovation, despite the intact structure and usable floors.
- Visible damp/plaster deterioration and a very dated, basic kitchen require substantial work.
- The private courtyard is rough and enclosed rather than a polished outdoor living space.
- No attractive view is shown; bathroom condition and utilities 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.
