This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog regardless of the low asking price. The ad gives 66,000 EUR for 137 sqm (482 EUR/sqm) in a good coastal location, but auction risk overrides normal deal analysis.
More on the house and the area
The price-per-square-metre is striking, and the house has decent size plus a small private courtyard. But the photos show a mostly unattractive, semi-finished interior rather than a ready home, with no visible character, view, or standout setting. This feels more like a budget project than a dream Italian home.
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.
- Interior appears unfinished and cluttered despite the 'habitable' label
- No kitchen is shown and only a partial bathroom is visible
- Setting is a plain suburban row-house area with no proven view
- Auction sale: documentation and true condition should be checked carefully
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.
