In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,900 (€262/m²), the apartment is described as habitable with autonomous heating; allowing about €14,400 for light work gives an effective cost near €463/m² versus €542/m² for comparable local stock. The 25 km distance from the sea limits location upside, but the substantial discount makes this a strong candidate.
More on the house and the area
This is an exceptionally cheap 72 sqm apartment with a clean, recently finished-looking interior and apparent autonomous heating. However, it lacks a memorable view, historic character, garden, or distinctive setting, while the building exterior is entirely ordinary. Its strongest appeal is the bargain price combined with apparent basic livability.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 exterior is a plain apartment-block facade with no private outdoor space or notable architectural character.
- The gallery does not clearly show bedrooms, and some kitchen/bathroom images may be illustrative or staged rather than photographs of the exact apartment.
- At €18,900, verify utilities, condominium fees, title status, and the actual finished condition on site.
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 68/100The area sits in inland Gallura, among granite hills and cork-oak woodland. Monte Limbara rises just south of Calangianus, with the Limbara massif and forest roads/trails within the local radius. Tempio Pausania is the nearest larger town, with services and a granite-built historic centre. This part of Gallura is known for cork production and for scattered rural stazzi in a landscape of rock outcrops, woods and small plateaus.
