What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Pre-war townhouse in Ittiri 'da ristrutturare' (fully to be renovated), priced at 729 EUR/m2 vs town baseline of 396 EUR/m2, so ~1.8x above median — a weak premium for a non-habitable property. Renovation of a multi-level war-era building will run ~900-1100 EUR/m2. Positives: private garden, 48 m2, close to Sassari (15 min) and Alghero (30 min), fresh listing (6 days). Negatives: no building year specifics beyond 'anteguerra', no energy class, no condition rating, only 1 photo, and needs full gut renovation. Total cost (35k + ~48k reno) ~83k for a small 48 m2 home is plausible but not a bargain given the above-baseline entry price. Fair rather than good due to the renovation burden and thin data.
More on the house and the area
Plain pre-war townhouse facade in Ittiri, faded yellow plaster with weathered shutters and a red door. Only one exterior photo, no interior shown. Needs complete renovation. Mentions a private garden and cellar which add potential, but nothing visually striking. Ordinary fixer-upper with no standout wow element.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Single photo shows only faded facade with peeling plaster
- Pre-war building needs full renovation (da ristrutturare)
- No sea proximity data; inland town
- No interior photos to assess
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 56/100This is inland northwestern Sardinia on the limestone hills between Sassari and the Nurra plain. The area is cut by small valleys and low karst ridges rather than high mountains. Within this radius the nearest large town is Sassari, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. The Gulf of Asinara coast is outside the immediate area but affects daily life from here, with the beaches around Porto Torres and Argentiera reached by a moderate drive. This part of Sardinia is known for olive groves, grazing land and nuraghi in the surrounding countryside.
