At €55,000 for about 30 m², the purchase price is €1,833/m²; allowing roughly €1,100/m² for restoring the trulli puts the effective cost near €2,933/m², far above the local €527/m² reference. The 9,474 m² of land and possible expansion to 105 m² add upside, but the listing does not state the condition, bathroom situation, or renovation feasibility in sufficient detail.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic Puglian trullo complex with distinctive whitewashed cones, arched alcoves and nearly one hectare of mature orchard land. The structures appear roofed and retain tiled floors and strong historic character, but they are currently basic storage spaces rather than a usable residence, with no bathroom and significant renovation needed.
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€12,000 – €18,000
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 trulli are not move-in ready: no bathroom is shown and there is no fitted kitchen.
- Interiors are currently used for storage, with worn finishes, damp staining and exposed or improvised wiring.
- Substantial renovation and utility verification will be needed; the advertised expansion potential is not yet a completed home.
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.
