See what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 190 m² townhouse priced €59,900 but needing full renovation (estimated €700/m² → ~€133,000), giving an effective price of about €193k (≈€1,015/m²) versus the local median of €416/m². The property has been on market 847 days, suggesting the market has repeatedly rejected this price.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid two‑storey town house with a private 40 m2 courtyard, original features (stone arch, balcony, fireplace) and genuine historic character. The structure appears intact so it’s a realistic renovation project and good value for the size, but expect full interior refurbishment and repairs to façade, balcony and services before it’s a comfortable 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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 in the Barbagia uplands on the Sardinian interior, with low mountains and wooded hills around the upper Flumendosa basin. Lago del Flumendosa lies within this area, and the river system shapes a landscape of reservoirs, valleys and grazing land. The nearest larger centre is Sorgono, which provides the usual services for this part of the Mandrolisai-Barbagia interior. This area is known for cork oak woods, pastoral landscapes and the vineyards of the Mandrolisai zone.
