What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 204 sqm, the ask is €466/sqm; assuming ~€250/sqm for a partly renovated/habitable house, the effective cost is about €716/sqm, well above the local stock baseline of €417/sqm. The score is supported by large size, 33 photos, good utility spaces and a serviced town setting, but it is not a deep discount after likely works.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, large, livable townhouse with warm wood ceilings, traditional furniture and some inviting old-school character inside. Condition looks solid and genuinely habitable, with kitchen, bathrooms, heating and finished rooms already in place. The wow comes more from its generous usable space and value than from the exterior or setting, which are fairly ordinary.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€17,000 – €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.
- Exterior is plain and not especially photogenic
- No real view, garden or standout outdoor space shown
- Interiors feel dated and somewhat dark despite being fully usable
- Accessibility adaptation suggests a practical rather than elegant layout
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 58/100The cluster sits on the Logudoro plateau, a basalt and limestone upland of fields, pasture and low rolling ridges. Within this area are the volcanic mesas and ravines around Monte Pelao and Romana, part of the better-known tuff and basalt landscape of north-western Sardinia. The nearest larger town is Sassari, which has full city services, a university and a railway station. This part of Sardinia is known for sheep farming, pecorino production and Nuragic archaeological sites scattered across the countryside.
