At €80,000 (€320/m²), the property is priced below the local €377/m² benchmark, but a historic multi-level home of this size could require substantial renovation. The listing conflicts on size—250 m² in the figures versus approximately 464 m² in the description—and does not state its condition.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful historic Sardinian town house with an impressive pale-stone façade, original tiled floors, arched ceilings, traditional doors, and a handsome staircase. The home appears roofed and genuinely usable rather than a shell, but the interiors are old-fashioned and partly worn, so renovation and updating would be needed. Its scale and €80,000 price create strong dream-home potential, though it sits in a dense town setting without a proven scenic view or private garden.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.
- Interiors are usable but visibly dated, with peeling finishes and likely a substantial modernization needed.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a very large multi-level property.
- The roof appears weathered; its condition and any structural or moisture issues should be professionally checked.
- The listing gives conflicting size figures: 250 sqm in the facts versus approximately 464 sqm in the description.
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 cluster sits on the Logudoro plateau, a basalt and limestone upland of fields, pasture and low rolling ridges. Within this area are the volcanic mesas and ravines around Monte Pelao and Romana, part of the better-known tuff and basalt landscape of north-western Sardinia. The nearest larger town is Sassari, which has full city services, a university and a railway station. This part of Sardinia is known for sheep farming, pecorino production and Nuragic archaeological sites scattered across the countryside.
