What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €24,900 for 220 sqm, the ask is only €113/sqm, but with no stated condition I assume a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €813/sqm. The local baseline (€300/sqm) is weak because, so this looks cheap upfront but likely only fair once renovation is included; good photo count and traditional-house appeal help a bit.
More on the house and the area
The stone exterior and winding village lane are very atmospheric, with real traditional Sardinian character and a decent enclosed courtyard/garden. But this is not a ready home: the interiors look tired, damp and partly semi-derelict, with basic old rooms and neglected annexes needing serious work. At the price it has project appeal, yet the condition keeps the wow firmly capped.
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€44,000 – €77,000
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.
- Major renovation needed before it is comfortably habitable
- Interiors appear stripped, damp and partially raw rather than move-in ready
- Outbuildings/courtyard areas look neglected and may need structural checks
- No view; appeal is mainly village character rather than scenery
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 53/100Simala sits in the Marmilla hills, an inland landscape of low rounded ridges, cereal fields, olive groves and small villages. The nearest named river is the Tirso farther north of this area, but within the immediate surroundings the landscape is mainly agricultural upland rather than a marked river valley. The nearest town of some size is Ales, which has everyday services; larger services are in Oristano. This part of central-western Sardinia is known for rural hill country and nuragic archaeology spread across the wider area.
