At €419/m², estimated all-in cost is about €620/m² after roughly €35,400 for a habitable-property refresh, well above the local reference level of about €369/m². The villa has strong amenities, garage and 31 photos, but the listing does not state the number of bathrooms, weakening confidence in the valuation.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, roofed rural property with some attractive exposed stone walls and timber beams, but the exterior is plain and there is no notable view or landscaped garden. The habitable-looking residential section is modest, while much of the building is industrial dairy-processing space, so it feels more like a conversion project than a beautiful ready-to-live-in villa.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- The property appears heavily oriented toward former dairy/food-production use rather than comfortable residential living.
- No bathroom is shown in the gallery, and the kitchen is very basic.
- Exterior walls, finishes, and surrounding grounds need substantial updating and cleanup.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the Marghine uplands, with the Montiferru volcanic massif to the west and the higher Gennargentu mountains visible farther off on clear days but outside the immediate landscape. The Tirso river basin lies nearby, and Lake Omodeo is the main inland water body in this part of central-west Sardinia, though not right at the village. The nearest substantial centre is Macomer, which has rail links, supermarkets and the main services for this inland area. Bortigali itself is known in Sardinia for traditional cattle and sheep farming and for casizolu, the local stretched-curd cheese made in the area. The surrounding landscape is mainly open grazing land, low volcanic and basaltic hills, oak woodland patches and scattered rural settlements typical of the Marghine interior.
