See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 (€191/m²), the house looks cheap upfront, but its stated complete renovation adds roughly €172,700, bringing the effective cost to about €1,291/m² versus a local reference of €417/m². The 157 m² size, terrace and independent layout offer potential, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal unless works can be completed far below standard costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Sardinian townhouse with an old stone façade, arched openings, terracotta floors, a fireplace and potentially useful outdoor space. However, the interiors are heavily deteriorated, with a collapsed or badly damaged kitchen area, raw ancillary spaces and extensive maintenance issues, so it is currently a major project rather than a livable dream home.
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€62,000 – €92,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100The Sinis peninsula and the Gulf of Oristano are within about 15 km, with low coastal land, lagoons and saltwater ponds around Cabras and the west coast of central Sardinia. The Stagno di Cabras and the coastal wetlands near Sale 'e Porcus are part of the landscape around Nurachi. The protected marine and coastal area of the Sinis includes beaches and rocky shore around San Giovanni di Sinis and Capo San Marco. Oristano is the nearest town of size, with the provincial services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for lagoon fishing and bottarga from the Cabras lagoon, and for the Sinis coast with the archaeological site of Tharros on the peninsula.
