More on the house and the area
A genuine independent Sardinian village house with a superb rooftop terrace and broad sea views, plus a characterful vaulted-stone cellar. The interiors are furnished and clearly livable, with three bathrooms and a functioning kitchen, but they are old-fashioned rather than move-in polished. At €68,000 for 157 sqm and this outlook, it has strong dream-home potential if the dated finishes and exterior maintenance are acceptable.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Interiors and bathrooms appear dated, despite being usable.
- Energy class G and visible exterior weathering suggest likely upgrade and maintenance costs.
- The home is spread across three levels with a narrow, stair-dependent layout.
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 72/100The Montiferru volcanic massif rises around Scano di Montiferro, with wooded slopes and upland terrain within the local area. The coast at Santa Caterina di Pittinuri and the Siniscola-facing stretch of the western Sardinian shore are about 10–15 km away, with limestone cliffs and small coves around Cuglieri and Sennariolo. The area is linked to the Montiferru and Planargia landscape of basalt plateaus, springs, olive groves and pasture. Bosa is the nearest notable town in the wider area, with a riverfront historic centre on the Temo. This part of Sardinia is known for Malvasia wine, olive oil and the Montiferru volcanic landscape.
