What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €560,000 (≈€2,617/m²) for 214 m²; assuming modest works at €200/m² (+€42,800) yields an effective price of ≈€2,819/m², well above the regional baseline of €642/m². The listing does not state the property's condition (31 photos are present), so renovation cost was estimated conservatively.
More on the house and the area
Bright, very spacious apartment with large rooms, terraces and a usable bathroom — it looks move-in ready. It feels more like a comfortable town home/apartment than a photogenic historic country farmhouse; check the promised vaulted rooms and cellar in person.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €24,000
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 scenic views or private garden shown in the photos — outdoor space appears limited to small balconies and a shared courtyard.
- Historic features named in the description (800s core, volte, cantina) are not clearly visible in the supplied photos — verify their condition and legal status.
- Shared/external stairwells and corridor access are visible, so confirm privacy and access arrangements; also note the asking price is high for a non-spectacular setting.
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 43/100This area sits on the inland Murge plateau south of Bari, with low limestone country, fields, olive groves and scattered masserie around the town. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Bari and Mola di Bari, but it is outside the 15 km landscape radius. Within the area are the large commercial outskirts along the Bari-Taranto corridor and the settlement belt toward Valenzano and Noicattaro. Bari is the nearest city of size, with the port, airport, universities and major services. The area is known locally for agriculture on karst limestone and for Casamassima's old centre, sometimes called the "blue town" because of painted streets in part of the historic core.
