At €90,000, this 85 m² house needs an estimated €59,500 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,759/m² versus a €387/m² local benchmark. The listing says it is to be personalized but does not detail its current condition, while the inland location 7 km from the sea offers only moderate value support.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed village house with clean tiled floors, a functioning bathroom, air conditioning, outdoor space, and a beautiful green mountain setting near Sardinia’s coast. It feels like a real home rather than a ruin, but the dated finishes, worn exterior, incomplete-looking kitchen, and dense surroundings keep it in the charming rather than dream-home tier.
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.
- The house is usable but clearly dated and needs refreshing, especially exterior walls and outdoor paving.
- The kitchen appears only partially fitted, so additional work and appliances may be needed.
- Adjacent unfinished construction and close neighboring buildings reduce privacy; verify the advertised expansion potential and legal status.
- No strong evidence of a fully private garden is shown.
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 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.
