At €94,000 for 196 m², the estimated all-in cost is about €133,200 (€679/m²), well above the local comparison level of €369/m². The villa is described as habitable but the listing is extremely sparse and does not state bathrooms or energy details.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Sardinian villa with a large rooftop terrace, open countryside views, and generous outdoor space. The house appears structurally complete and potentially livable, but the plain interiors and neglected garden suggest a real refresh and cleanup rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 grounds and exterior are heavily overgrown and will need clearing and maintenance.
- Interiors appear empty and somewhat unfinished, despite floors, fixtures, and a usable bathroom being present.
- The listing reports a kitchen and habitable condition, but the facts show zero bathrooms, so utilities and completion should be verified.
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 cluster sits in the Gallura subregion and Monte Limbara, a local granite massif, lies within about 15 km and forms the area's principal high ground. The coastline of northern Gallura on the Tyrrhenian Sea is the nearest maritime frontage. There is no national park inside the 15 km radius and no local ski lifts. Nearby small towns inside 15 km include Aggius, Calangianus and Luras; Calangianus and surrounding municipalities have a long tradition of cork production. The area produces Vermentino di Gallura (DOCG) wine. The landscape contains numerous nuraghi and other pre-Roman archaeological sites and widespread granite outcrops used in local traditional building and carving. The nearest larger transport hub is Olbia (airport and ferry connections), further outside the 15 km radius.
