Asking €30,000 for 65 m² but described as completely to renovate; I estimate €700/m² (€45,500) so the effective cost is ≈€75,500 or ≈€1,162/m² versus the regional baseline of €526/m². Located in the historic centre (positive), but the listing does not state a bathroom, building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone-vaulted rooms and a photogenic historic façade give this tiny Altamura house strong character, but the photos show a bare shell over multiple levels. Excellent bargain and central location, yet expect a full renovation (utilities, bathrooms, floors, permits) before it becomes a livable 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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Altamura, so the resident setting is urban rather than open countryside. The Murge plateau surrounds the town, with limestone upland, fields and karst terrain typical of the Alta Murgia. Alta Murgia National Park lies immediately around Altamura and includes steppe-like pasture, sinkholes and ravines. Gravina in Puglia is nearby and has a historic centre on the edge of a ravine. Altamura is known for its stone-built old centre and for Pane di Altamura PDO.
