What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €280/m², the €69,900 asking price is well below the Sardegna townhouse baseline of €417/m²; allowing €37,500 for a mainly cosmetic refresh gives an effective €430/m². The roof is recently restored and the home is habitable, but the inland location 36 km from the sea limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A very large, solid-looking Sardinian townhouse with a cheerful façade, traditional patterned floors, a striking staircase, balcony, garage, and substantial living capacity. It appears habitable rather than a shell, but the interiors are old-fashioned and visibly tired, so the appeal is mainly its space, character, and unusually low price rather than immediate beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€13,000 – €21,000
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 need a substantial cosmetic refresh, especially walls, lighting, and furnishings.
- Visible ceiling staining and aging finishes should be checked for damp or maintenance issues.
- The home is in a narrow village street with no impressive view shown; the advertised courtyard is not visible in these 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 56/100Interior of central Sardinia: low, karstified limestone hills and small plateaus with Mediterranean maquis, holm oak and cork oak. Land use within the surrounding 15 km is mixed pasture, cereal fields, olive groves and scattered woodland; sheep and goat grazing are common. No major named mountain range, large lake or river lies inside a 15 km radius; the higher Gennargentu massif is farther to the east. There are no ski lifts or alpine facilities nearby. The nearest larger town is Macomer (roughly 20–30 km), on the SS131 corridor, where residents find supermarkets, secondary schools, a railway station and other regional services. The area is typical of Sardinia’s inland countryside and is associated with sheep farming, Pecorino Sardo production and the island’s widespread Nuragic archaeological heritage; there is no national-park or UNESCO status within the immediate area.
