27 m² trullo at EUR 62,000; estimated renovation ~EUR 700/m² adds ~EUR 18,900 so effective price ≈ EUR 80,900 (~EUR 3,000/m²) vs regional median ~EUR 796/m². The property includes ~6,000 m² of land and is ~5 km from the sea, but the listing does not state the dwelling condition or energy class, so the asking price is high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic Puglian trullo with original conical roof and vaulted interior set in ~6,000 m² of countryside close to the sea — excellent character and a real slice of Apulian life. The structure appears solid and roofed with existing floors and plaster, so it can be turned into a charming tiny home with modest work, but remember it’s tiny and will need modern services and fittings installed.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Very small interior (~25–27 m²) — single main room only.
- Needs finishing/modernisation: kitchen and possibly bathroom/services need installation or updating.
- Rural access and utilities should be checked (water/sewer/electrics may be basic).
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.
