At €407/m², the asking price is close to the local €417/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for the unspecified condition gives an effective cost near €607/m². The historic-center location adds character and some value, but the listing does not say whether major renovation is needed.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful historic townhouse in Santu Lussurgiu, with ornate iron balconies, arched stone doorways, old shutters, and a wonderfully atmospheric medieval-borgo setting. The house appears roofed and structurally usable rather than a ruin, but it is dated and tired, with renovation likely needed before comfortable full-time living. At 135 sqm for €55,000, the space and authentic Sardinian character make it a compelling bargain for a patient restoration-minded buyer.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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 interiors and façade show substantial age, peeling finishes, and likely renovation needs.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and no clearly equipped kitchen is visible in the gallery.
- Located on a narrow historic-center street, with limited direct vehicle access and parking.
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 68/100The cluster is on the Montiferru volcanic massif, with wooded slopes and upland pasture within the local 15 km landscape. The Riu Mannu valley cuts through this area, and the coast around Santa Caterina di Pittinuri and the Sinis-facing western shore is about 15 km away. This is close to the Montiferru and Planargia area, known for springs, chestnut and oak woods, and villages with basalt-built historic centres. Cuglieri is the nearest larger hill town in the area, with services and a notable hilltop setting over the western side of Montiferru. Santu Lussurgiu itself is known in Sardinia for its old centre and for the equestrian festival Sa Carrela 'e nanti.
