At €80,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² full renovation, the effective cost is roughly €2,153/m² for the stated 76 m², well above the limited local reference around €862/m². The description is also inconsistent about size and location, while the house lacks mains water and sewerage; the nearby beach claim conflicts with the stated 72 km sea distance.
More on the house and the area
This old stone house has genuine character, a garden, dramatic sea-and-island views, and a wonderfully wild Cres setting near Tramuntana Forest. However, it is explicitly sold for complete renovation, with no bathroom, rainwater-only supply, no sewer network, and apparent roof damage, so it is a major project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €44,000
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.
- Complete renovation required; the property appears uninhabitable as shown.
- No bathroom or sewer connection is documented.
- Water comes from rainwater collection in a cistern, and parts of the roof appear compromised.
- Remote island setting may make renovation logistics and utility upgrades difficult.
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 70/100The cluster sits on the island of Cres (Italian: Cherso) in the Kvarner/Quarnaro archipelago of the Adriatic. The immediate landscape is coastal: rocky and pebble shores, indented bays and karst hills with Mediterranean maquis. Lake Vrana (Vransko jezero), a large freshwater lake on Cres and a protected bird habitat and drinking-water reservoir, lies on the island within about 15 km. The area is maritime: the Kvarner Gulf and the Cres–Lošinj island group frame daily life and local transport. Ferry links connect Cres with the Istrian mainland (Porozina–Brestova) and with Krk (Merag–Valbiska) from points on the island. The nearest local towns are the town of Cres (harbour, medieval walls, basic shops and services) and Osor (navigation channel between Cres and Lošinj, archaeological remains). The islands have active summer boating and yachting traffic and seasonal tourism; year-round services are limited. Griffon vultures have been reintroduced and nest on Cres. There are no ski lifts or named mountain ranges in the 15 km area; terrain is low karst hills rather than alpine relief.
