At €388/m², the asking price is close to comparable local stock, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a property whose condition is not stated brings the effective cost to about €588/m². The listing offers a furnished independent townhouse with garage and courtyard, but says little about its construction, systems, or habitability.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, furnished and apparently usable townhouse with a functioning kitchen, two bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, tiled floors, and beautiful wood-beamed ceilings. Arched brick passageways, traditional shutters, antique furnishings, and the courtyard give it genuine character, although the exterior common areas need cosmetic renewal.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 shared/external courtyard areas look dated, with peeling paint, exposed wiring, and worn surfaces.
- No private garden, terrace view, or scenic outlook is shown.
- The listing does not confirm heating, utilities, or the condition of the roof and systems.
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.
