See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 85 m², the estimated €59,500 renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €1,759/m², far above the local reference level of €417/m². The property has useful outdoor space, garage potential and village services, but the advertised 87 m² home plus 48 m² basement does not match the stated size and requires substantial work.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed Sardinian townhouse with generous tiled interiors, a large bathroom, terraces and a lovely outlook toward the green hills and village. It is clearly a real usable home rather than a ruin, but the dated kitchen, worn exterior and need for renovation keep it in the charming-project range rather than dream-home territory.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs modernization, especially the kitchen and finishes.
- Visible exterior damp/staining and weathering should be investigated.
- The surrounding village is attractive and green, but the property itself has limited private outdoor space.

The area around
Location score 58/100The eastern Sardinian coast with sandy beaches and small seaside villages lies to the east within the local coastal plain. Inside about 15 km the terrain is low coastal plain and gentle hills with Mediterranean maquis, areas of cork and holm oak, cultivated fields and grazing land. Nearby coastal municipalities, notably Siniscola (La Caletta) and Posada, supply seasonal beach tourism and basic shops and services. The provincial capital Nuoro lies further inland and provides wider public services and cultural institutions. Major mountain massifs and national parks of central Sardinia (Supramonte, Gennargentu) are farther inland beyond the immediate 15 km radius. The local economy combines mixed agriculture, pastoralism and seasonal coastal tourism.
