Casa indipendente in Via San Pietro 22
Nel cuore antico di Giba, dove le stradine custodiscono ancora il ritmo lento dei paesi del Sud Sardegna, si trova una piccola casa indipendente che profuma di Mediterraneo. Le sue linee ricordano le case bianche delle isole greche, illuminate da una luce morbida che avvolge ogni angolo e rende l’atmosfera immediatamente accogliente. A soli cinque minuti d’auto dalle spiagge selvagge...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
With no clear condition given, this looks roughly habitable from the 24 photos and polished description, so I estimate about €200/m² renovation; effective price is about €1,407/m² (1207 + 200). That is far above this catalog’s Sardegna country-house baseline of €399/m², and being 7 km from the sea adds only a small positive.
More on the house and the area
This feels like a real, ready-to-live-in Mediterranean home: bright, styled, and clearly usable, with a charming roof terrace and some distant hill/rooftop outlook. The stone arches and blue-painted openings give it genuine character, even if the architecture is modest rather than spectacular. It scores well because the condition looks move-in ready and the atmosphere is dreamy, but the wow is more intimate than grand.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No bathroom is shown in the photos
- Exterior/street facade is not documented
- Terrace view is pleasant rather than dramatic
- Compact 82 sqm layout with one bedroom only
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 68/100The area lies in the Sulcis plain with low hills and Mediterranean scrub. The coast of Porto Botte and the Gulf of Palmas is within about 10 km, with long sandy stretches, dunes and coastal lagoons used by migratory birds. Sant’Antioco island and the lagoon around it are within daily road reach from here but not inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Carbonia is the nearest larger town, with full services and the mining heritage sites of the Sulcis area. The wider area is known for vineyards, olive groves and the former coal-mining district.
