What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€625/m²), the estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,325/m², far above the €417/m² local comparison level. The historic character and central piazza setting add appeal, but the inland location and substantial modernization needs do not justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful Sardinian townhouse with a handsome historic façade, red trachyte stone portal, wrought-iron balconies, vaulted ceilings, original floors, timber beams, and an authentic lived-in interior. It appears to be a real, functioning three-level home rather than a shell, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, and multiple atmospheric rooms, although modernization will be needed. At €80,000 for 128 sqm, the combination of strong historic identity and apparent usability creates a compelling bargain effect.
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€25,000 – €45,000
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 61/100The area sits in the Logudoro hills, with low volcanic and limestone relief rather than high mountains. Monte Santo rises just above the village and is one of the main landscape features in the immediate area. The Tirso river basin is nearby, and Lake Temo is at Monteleone Rocca Doria within roughly this radius. Sassari is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and a university. Bosa on the west coast is farther out and matters more as an occasional destination than as part of the immediate setting. This part of north-west Sardinia is known for olive groves, vineyards and small hill villages of the historic Logudoro.
