What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly 'da ristrutturare', so I estimate about €700/m² renovation; that brings the effective cost to roughly €1,162/m² (€60,000 + ~€91,000 works over 130 m²). Against the local baseline of €341/m² for cheap stock in Sardegna country houses, this is not a discount buy, though the historic-center setting in Iglesias and terrace add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
The pastel historic-center facade has some Sardinian old-town charm, and the top-floor wood ceiling plus small terrace add a little character. But this is a renovation project rather than a ready home: finishes are tired, there is visible damp, and the kitchen/bathroom areas need substantial updating. Good size for the price, yet the wow is modest because the beauty is limited and livability is not there yet.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Needs clear renovation; several rooms show damp, worn finishes, and stripped kitchen areas.
- Interior is largely empty and not move-in ready.
- Terrace is usable but has no meaningful view.
- Only one dated bathroom is visible.
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 82/100The area sits in the Iglesiente hills, with low mountains and mining landscapes around Monte San Giovanni and the Marganai massif. The Mediterranean is close on the southwest Sardinian coast, with the shoreline around Fontanamare, Nebida and Masua within about 15 km, where cliffs and sea stacks including Pan di Zucchero define the coast. Much of the inland side falls in the Parco Geominerario Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna, linked to the historic mining district around Iglesias and Monteponi. Iglesias is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, medieval walls and churches, and services for daily life. The area is known for former lead and zinc mining, karst caves, and the mining coast landscapes of the Sulcis-Iglesiente.
