What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€648/m²), the advertised full renovation is estimated at about €1,100/m², pushing the effective cost to roughly €1,748/m² versus local stock around €417/m². The sea proximity, partial view and terrace add appeal, but do not offset the very high all-in cost.
More on the house and the area
A characterful two-level townhouse in Sorso’s historic center, with a weathered traditional façade, patterned floors, and a partial view toward the Gulf of Asinara. It is a solid, roofed house with floors, stairs, and basic services in place, but the interiors are plainly finished and require substantial renovation before comfortable living.
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€48,000 – €71,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Requires a total renovation, including outdated kitchen and bathroom areas.
- Visible damp staining and peeling exterior plaster need investigation and repair.
- The sea view appears partial and is best appreciated from the terrace or upper level.
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 61/100The cluster is on the limestone hills of north-west Sardinia above the Gulf of Asinara. The coast within this radius is the low shore around Platamona, and the larger marine landscape is the Gulf of Asinara with views toward the Asinara island area. The nearest town of size is Sassari, which has the province’s main services, university facilities and a substantial historic centre. Porto Torres is also nearby, with the port and the Roman archaeological area of Turris Libisonis. This part of Romangia is known for vineyards and olive groves.
