In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 plus an estimated €26,600 for modernization, the effective cost is about €914/m², far above the local comparison level of €417/m². The home is habitable with a private garden, but it is explicitly non-mortgageable and the listing does not state an energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, independent Sardinian townhouse with a lush, private courtyard shaded by mature citrus or fruit trees. The home has generous rooms, a working-looking kitchen, fireplace, tiled floors and strong vintage character, but the interiors are dated and the garden currently feels more like a plant-filled utility courtyard than a polished dream retreat.
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.
- Interiors are habitable but visibly dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 133 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- The listing states “non mutuabile,” which may complicate financing.
- The private courtyard is attractive but crowded and needs decluttering or redesign.
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 74/100The cluster lies in the low hills and coastal plain east of Cagliari, with the Sette Fratelli massif inland to the northeast. The Rio Cannas and other small seasonal watercourses cross this part of the territory, and the coast at Geremeas and Torre delle Stelle is within the same local area. Much of the inland side falls within or against the Parco dei Sette Fratelli–Monte Genis. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with full services, a port and airport. The area is known for Mediterranean scrub, granite hills, coastal coves and beach settlements on the Quartu-Maracalagonis coast.
