What it really costs

The €70,000 asking price is attractive at €333/m², but the interior is completely to renovate; estimated all-in cost rises to roughly €1,033/m², well above the local €388/m² benchmark. The historic-center location and sound granite structure add value, but one bathroom and extensive internal work limit the deal.
More on the house and the area
A striking historic granite palazzetto with beautifully preserved stonework, balconies, traditional shutters, and a recently renovated roof. However, the interior is explicitly completely to renovate, so despite the excellent 210 m² price-to-size ratio, this is a major project rather than a readily livable dream home.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 interior is completely in need of renovation, with only one bathroom shown in the listing facts.
- No interior photos confirm the condition of floors, wiring, plumbing, kitchen, or heating.
- Historic-center access appears narrow and urban, with no garden or meaningful open view.
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 72/100Monte Limbara, a granite massif reaching roughly 1,360 m, lies within about 15 km and dominates the local relief. The Tyrrhenian Sea and the northern Sardinian coast are about 20–25 km to the northeast, with the La Maddalena archipelago offshore. There is no national park within the immediate 15 km radius. There are no ski lifts; the mountain is crossed by forestry roads and local paths rather than alpine ski infrastructure. The nearby towns of Calangianus and Luras (about 8–12 km) have long associations with cork production and related industry. The nearest city with an airport and ferry connections is Olbia (roughly 40–50 km). The area is part of Gallura, noted for its granite outcrops and for Vermentino di Gallura (a DOCG wine produced locally). Nuragic archaeological sites and mixed agricultural parcels (olive, vineyard, cork oak) are common in the surrounding countryside.
