What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €20,000 for 70 sqm (€286/sqm), below the local cheap-stock baseline of €417/sqm, but the description says 'completamente da riattare', implying a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm. That brings the effective cost to roughly €1,386/sqm, so the low ask is offset by heavy works; historic-center location helps a bit.
More on the house and the area
At €20k the price has dreamer appeal, but the real photos show a very rough old townhouse in Burcei’s historic center rather than a usable home. There is a small courtyard and the potential to rebuild existing volumes, yet the current condition is severe, with damaged rooms, moisture and at least one partially open roof. The wow here is mostly future potential, not present-day beauty or livability.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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.
- Completely to renovate; current interiors show heavy damp, decay and debris.
- Part of the structure appears roof-damaged/open, so this is not currently a livable home.
- The attractive interior/exterior images are only render projections, not the real finished property.
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 lies in the mountains of the Sette Fratelli massif. The Flumendosa basin is nearby inland and the south Sardinian coast around Solanas and Villasimius is the nearest sea, but not within the immediate mountain setting. Much of the area falls within the Parco dei Sette Fratelli - Monte Genis, with forested granite slopes and wildlife habitats. Burcei is a small mountain centre; the nearest city of size is Cagliari, which provides the main services, port and airport. The area is known for woodland, upland grazing and access roads into the Sette Fratelli mountains.
