Estimated renovation ≈525 €/m² (40 m² already renovated, 120 m² needing work) → renovation ~€84k, total cost ≈€174k or ≈€1,088/m² versus regional baseline €416/m². The listing has been on market 593 days (stale) and notes three floors need renovation despite a 'Habitable' condition, reducing confidence.
More on the house and the area
Four-storey townhome a few kilometres from the coast with a recently refurbished ground-floor unit and independent entrance. The upper 3 floors are solid but in need of cosmetic renovation, so it’s a realistic, affordable project home rather than a turnkey dream.
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.
Our read of the photos, €525/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Upper floors need clear renovation (plaster, floors, bathrooms)
- Visible damp/patch repairs on walls in photos
- No private garden and only a small terrace; narrow street so limited views
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 91/100The Supramonte range rises immediately west of Dorgali, with limestone plateaus, gorges and cave systems within the local area. The Gulf of Orosei is on the nearby east coast, with the beaches and cliffs of Cala Gonone in the same comune and the coastal stretch of Cala Luna among the known natural features of this part of Sardinia. Much of the mountain and coastal landscape here falls within the Parco Nazionale del Golfo di Orosei e del Gennargentu framework and the local protected territory around the gulf. Dorgali is the main small town for the area, with a historic centre, everyday services and access to the coast at Cala Gonone. The area is known for karst landscapes, trekking, sea caves, shepherding and local wine and craft traditions.
