At €480/m², this 202 m² villa is already about 30% above comparable stock; allowing roughly €200/m² for habitable-condition works implies an effective cost near €680/m² versus €369/m². The listing is very sparse and does not state the bathrooms, energy rating, or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, clean-lined Sardinian villa with broad tiled terraces overlooking wooded rolling hills, offering a peaceful rural setting and strong space-for-price value. The house appears structurally sound and broadly habitable, but it is plain, empty, somewhat dated, and will need finishing touches and outdoor clearing before it feels like a 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 – €23,000
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 are empty and need furnishing plus cosmetic refreshing.
- The bathroom appears unfinished or minimally fitted, and the kitchen is not shown.
- Dense overgrowth around the house may require substantial clearing and maintenance.
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.
