Estimated effective price = €47,000 + €700×45m² = €78,500 → ~€1,744/m², well above the local median of €828/m². The plot of ~10,000m² and 29 photos are positives, but the listing shows 0 bathrooms and does not say whether the rural building can be converted to a dwelling, so significant renovation/legal risk is likely.
More on the house and the area
A charming authentic trullo with an attached lamia and intact stone roofs set in about 10,000 m² of countryside — very photogenic and full of historic character. The structure is a solid, roofed building with whitewashed vaulted interiors but no bathroom or fitted kitchen, so it needs renovation to become a comfortable modern 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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- No bathroom or fitted kitchen shown — you'll need to install modern services
- Requires renovation/modernisation inside despite solid stone shell
- Access via an unpaved track; confirm year-round vehicle access
- Confirm utilities (water, sewage and permanent electricity) before purchase
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.
