Tiny 11 m² trullo offered at €85,000; estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€7,700) yields an effective price ≈€8,427/m² versus the regional median of €822/m², so this is heavily overpriced. The listing gives no condition/utility details and no bathrooms are listed.
More on the house and the area
Photogenic single-cone trullo sitting in an olive grove with clear historic character. However at 11 m² and described as to be renovated, it’s a restoration project rather than a ready-to-live 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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Needs full renovation (da ristrutturare).
- Very small — single cone, 11 m² only.
- No bathroom/kitchen or utilities shown.
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 61/100The area is the inland plain of the upper Salento, with olive groves, fields and scattered masserie. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the Torre Guaceto coastal reserve within about 15 km, where dunes, wetlands and rocky and sandy shoreline stretch south of Carovigno. Brindisi is the nearest city of size, with a port, rail links and full services. This part of Puglia is known for olive oil and for fortified farm estates and whitewashed small towns of the Brindisi countryside.
