See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€987/m²), the asking price is already well above the €647/m² local benchmark, and the traditional 1940s stone construction may require substantial work. The listing does not say whether the home is habitable or renovated; its central Martina Franca location adds some value but does not offset the effective cost.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Martina Franca stone home with beautiful traditional star-vaulted ceilings, old paneled doors, balconies, and an attractive historic facade. The 76 m² interior appears solid, roofed, floored, heated, and realistically livable, although it needs cosmetic modernization and likely kitchen work.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with a kitchen apparently needing installation or updating.
- The exterior shows weathering and may need masonry and facade maintenance.
- No private garden or terrace is visible; it is a town-center home on a busy residential street.
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 83/100The cluster sits in the Valle d’Itria, a limestone upland of low ridges, dry-stone walls, olive groves and dispersed trulli between Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Cisternino. Martina Franca itself is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, Baroque churches and daily services. Locorotondo is within this area and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the Murgia is known for trulli, masserie, vineyards and olive oil.
