More on the house and the area
A very photogenic stone villa with arched covered terrace, trullo-like detail and sweeping views over olive groves toward Ostuni — the kind of place you’d happily live in. Interiors appear well maintained and move-in ready (kitchen, bathrooms, parking and big outdoor living areas), though exterior stonework and terraces will need upkeep and you should confirm energy/utility details.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Not waterfront — sea ~9 km away
- Exterior stonework, terraces and paved courtyard will need ongoing maintenance
- Energy certificate/age not shown — verify heating/insulation and utilities
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 85/100The area sits in the Valle d’Itria landscape of low limestone hills, olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the marina of Villanova and the Torre Guaceto stretch to the north within the wider local area. Ostuni itself is a substantial hill town with a dense historic center on the ridge and everyday services. The area is known for whitewashed towns, olive oil and masserie.
