What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,900 for 160 sqm, the asking price is just €218/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the detailed layout and 18 photos, the effective cost is about €418/sqm including ~€200/sqm light works. That is still only modestly above this low-stock baseline of €313/sqm, but the large independent house in the historic center with courtyard, terrace/parking and 2 baths makes it a strong value listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: big rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, stairs, floors and a roof all appear in place. The best appeal is the generous size, historic village setting and a few character touches like the fireplace, old stair rail and rough stone/plaster spaces. It feels livable now but needs refreshing, with some visible moisture wear and limited visual wow.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 dated and need clear cosmetic updating.
- Some rooms show damp/peeling plaster and rough secondary spaces.
- Courtyard is practical but hardscaped rather than pretty.
- No strong scenic or exterior wow from 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 cluster is in the Gennargentu mountains. The Flumendosa basin and the mountain valleys around Aritzo shape the area, with chestnut woods and upland pasture typical of this part of Barbagia. The Parco Nazionale del Golfo di Orosei e del Gennargentu was planned here but never fully established as a national park; the area instead falls within the Gennargentu massifs and nearby protected mountain zones of central Sardinia. The nearest ski lifts are at Bruncu Spina on the Gennargentu, roughly half an hour to three quarters of an hour by road depending on conditions. The nearest town of some size is Sorgono, while Nuoro is the main larger centre for services farther away. Aritzo is known in Sardinia for mountain chestnuts and for being one of the historic upland settlements of the island’s interior.
