See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€352/m²), the four-level 270 m² building needs an estimated €189,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,052/m² versus €231/m² for comparable local properties. Its inland location in Buddusò, 41 km from the sea, offers little location premium to offset the very high all-in cost.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent Sardinian palazzo with a weathered pastel facade, balcony, fireplace, tiled floors, and some old-fashioned stair details. It is a real roofed house rather than a ruin, but the damp interiors, unfinished kitchen, dated bathrooms, and general condition mean it is a renovation project before comfortable full-time living.
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€53,000 – €95,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Extensive renovation appears necessary, with damp/stained walls and worn finishes.
- The kitchen is essentially unfinished and the bathrooms look dated and basic.
- Four levels and 270 sqm could make renovation and heating expensive.

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 area is on the granite uplands of Monte Acuto in the interior of north-eastern Sardinia. The landscape around Buddusò is made of wooded hills, pasture and granite outcrops rather than coast or plain. Lake Posada lies nearby to the east, and this part of the interior is known for cork oak woods, livestock grazing and granite quarrying. Olbia is the nearest larger town with full services, port and airport.
