At €88,000 for 35 m², even allowing about €7,000 for basic works, the effective cost is roughly €2,714/m²—nearly five times comparable local stock at €554/m². Being 800 metres from the sea with a terrace helps, but the asking price is far too high.
More on the house and the area
The colorful Sardinian apartment complex, landscaped lawns, mature citrus trees, and fountain create a cheerful, photogenic setting near the sea. Inside, this is a genuine usable home with a working kitchen, bathroom, terrace, and furnishings, though it is small and visually cluttered rather than a polished dream interior.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very compact 35 sqm one-bedroom apartment.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, heavily furnished, and would benefit from decluttering and cosmetic refreshes.
- The attractive garden and fountain appear communal; photos do not prove a private outdoor area or sea view.
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.
