See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €60,000 asking price (€337/m²) looks attractive, but renovating 178 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,037/m², well above the local €399/m² benchmark. The townhouse has useful space and 78 photos, but its renovation burden outweighs the initial discount.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 178 sqm Sardinian townhouse with bright sunroom-like glazing, arched openings, a large fireplace, tiled floors and a glimpse toward the distant landscape. It is a solid, roofed and clearly usable house rather than a ruin, but it needs meaningful renovation and modernization before becoming a polished dream home.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.

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 lies in the Sulcis-Iglesiente interior, with low hills and cultivated valleys rather than high mountains. The Cixerri river basin is part of the local landscape. Monte Arcosu, one of the largest WWF reserves in Italy, lies nearby and is known for Mediterranean woodland and Sardinian deer. Siliqua is known for the hilltop castle of Acquafredda, which stands above the settlement. Iglesias and Carbonia are the nearest larger towns in the wider area, providing shops, services and rail links.
