What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 200 sqm early-1900s rustico is explicitly completely to renovate, so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation; effective cost is roughly €1,385/m² all-in (€57,000 + renovation), far above the provided €300/m² baseline. The location near the harbor and about 10 minutes from the beach helps a bit, but the baseline is weak, so the score relies mainly on absolute renovation burden rather than market comparison.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the location in the heart of Portoscuso, close to the little harbor and beach, plus the very low price for 200 sqm. But the photos show a stripped, rough structure with no demonstrated finished interiors, so this reads as a major project rather than a home you could soon live in.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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 be renovated; current photos suggest a shell rather than a usable home.
- Very limited charm shown in the existing structure/exterior.
- No interior livability is proven from the gallery.
- Likely significant cost and planning risk despite the central location.
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 62/100The cluster is on the Sulcis coast facing the Gulf of Palmas and the island of San Pietro. The coast here has low rocky shores and beaches including the Portopaglietto area, and the old Spanish tower of Portoscuso stands on the seafront. The former tuna fishery of Su Pranu is a known historic site in the town. Within about 15 km are the industrial waterfront and port installations linked to the Sulcis mining and metals district, and the low coastal plain around Carbonia begins inland. Carbonia is the nearest town of size, with the main services and a mining-history setting tied to the coal basin of Sulcis. The area is known for tuna fishing history, the old mining district, and ferry links from nearby Calasetta to San Pietro.
