Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 (€487/m²), the asking price is already above the local €387/m² benchmark before renovation. The description does not state the condition, and a €700/m² renovation allowance would raise the effective cost to about €1,187/m²; the property is 10 km from the sea rather than in a premium coastal location.
More on the house and the area
A charming, colorful Sardinian village house with attractive arched entrances, traditional shutters, balconies, and glimpses over rooftops toward green hills. Inside it is a genuine, furnished and apparently usable home with multiple bedrooms and two bathrooms, though the decor, kitchen, and finishes are dated rather than move-in stylish.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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 very dated and heavily furnished, likely needing cosmetic modernization.
- The home is in a narrow historic village street with no visible private garden or parking.
- The advertised terrace is not clearly shown in the photos.
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 72/100The Montiferru volcanic massif rises around Scano di Montiferro, with wooded slopes and upland terrain within the local area. The coast at Santa Caterina di Pittinuri and the Siniscola-facing stretch of the western Sardinian shore are about 10–15 km away, with limestone cliffs and small coves around Cuglieri and Sennariolo. The area is linked to the Montiferru and Planargia landscape of basalt plateaus, springs, olive groves and pasture. Bosa is the nearest notable town in the wider area, with a riverfront historic centre on the Temo. This part of Sardinia is known for Malvasia wine, olive oil and the Montiferru volcanic landscape.
