Veto: the listing is explicitly an auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE', 'immobili all’asta'), which makes it a trap by policy regardless of the nominal €626/m² asking price. It may be a full ownership share (1/1) and near the sea, but the auction status overrides other positives.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a functional, lived-in terraced house rather than a dream Italian beauty. It appears habitable and sizable, with a big private courtyard and covered outdoor area, but the setting and architecture are plain and the interiors feel dated rather than special. For the price and proximity to the sea it may be practical value, but the wow factor is low.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Auction sale: photos/details may be limited and require document checks
- Exterior and courtyard are very plain, with little charm or privacy
- Interiors look usable but dated and somewhat makeshift in parts
- No bathroom photos shown despite the plan indicating bathrooms
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 70/100The cluster is on the coastal plain west of Cagliari at the foot of the Sulcis mountains. The Gulf of Cagliari and the long beach system around La Maddalena Spiaggia and the Santa Gilla lagoon are within the local area. Monte Arcosu and the WWF reserve of the same name lie inland in the Sulcis massif, with Mediterranean forest and wildlife habitat. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with a port, airport, university and the main services of southern Sardinia. The area is known for lagoon landscapes, beaches on the gulf, and the wooded mountains behind Capoterra.
