In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is marked Renovated, but the description clearly says allo stato grezzo and the photos are only renders, so I treated it as needing major finishing works at about €700/m². That gives an effective cost of about €1,412/m² (€57,000 + ~€56,000 works on 80 m²), far above the local baseline of €419/m², so this looks weak for the price.
More on the house and the area
The real asset here is the private garden with mature greenery and a fully built single-storey structure. But the house is currently an unfinished shell with bare brick interiors and only partial bathroom setup, so this is a project rather than a ready Italian dream home. At €57k it may feel good value, but the wow is limited by condition and an ordinary suburban setting.
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€16,000 – €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.
- Sold in raw shell condition, not actually renovated or move-in ready
- Renderings shown are illustrative only and do not reflect the current interior
- Finishing work still needed throughout, including kitchen, bathroom and interior finishes
- Plain suburban street setting with no notable view
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 53/100The cluster lies in the Campidano plain west of Cagliari, with low hills and the Monte Arcosu massif within the surrounding area. The Cixerri river plain and the Santa Gilla lagoon system are nearby. Monte Arcosu is a WWF reserve and part of the larger forested uplands that continue toward the Sulcis mountains. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with the port, airport, hospitals, universities and the main services of southern Sardinia. The area is known for agriculture on the plain and for the wetland and wooded upland environments on the edge of the metropolitan area.
