Small 20 m² casolare plus 8,093 m² of land priced at €48,000; assuming full restoration ~€1,100/m² (20 m² → €22,000) yields an effective price of €70,000 or ~€3,500/m², far above the regional median of €799/m². The listing does not state the building condition or year, so cost and usability are uncertain.
More on the house and the area
Lovely large olive-grove plot with classic Puglian countryside views and a private driveway — great for someone who wants land and a building project. The existing casolare is a tiny, basic 20 m² structure (useful as storage or a minor shelter) so this is more a turnkey plot + project than an immediately livable family home.
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€8,000 – €12,000
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.
- Only a very small 20 m² casolare on site — not a full house
- Utilities/connections (water, electricity, sewer) are not clearly shown
- Would need renovation/extension (permit for ~90 m² noted) and checks on planning restrictions
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.
