The €40,000 price looks modest, but the property is described as a rudere requiring full restoration: about €1,100/m² would bring the effective cost to roughly €1,560/m², versus €387/m² for comparable local stock. The listing also cites 110 m² commercial area while the stated size is 87 m², so the usable surface and renovation budget need verification.
More on the house and the area
The property has an atmospheric historic-center setting, a leafy courtyard with mature palms, exposed stonework and views toward the village church. However, the photos show a genuine, heavily deteriorated ruin rather than a usable home, with damaged interiors and major structural renovation required.
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€34,000 – €51,000
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.
- Genuine ruin requiring comprehensive renovation
- Visible structural deterioration and apparent roof problems
- Interiors are unfinished and not currently habitable
- Utilities, bathroom and kitchen condition are not demonstrated
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 55/100The cluster lies in the Campidano plain at the foot of the low hills of the Parteolla and the Monte dei Sette Fratelli massif rises farther east. The Flumendosa river system is outside the immediate area, but daily landscape here is mainly vineyards, olive groves and cultivated plain broken by low limestone and marl hills. The nearest town of size is Cagliari, which has the full range of city services, a port and airport. The area is known for wine production, especially around the Parteolla villages, and for the Romanesque church of San Pantaleo in Dolianova.
