Buy a Vacation Home in Sardinia Through Co-ownership
Full ownership of a quality Sardinia villa typically starts above €500,000 — through co-ownership, a deeded share starts from €119,000, with listings sold in 1/8 fractions averaging around €129,000 per share. Kocomo lists co-owned homes on Sardinia's northeast coast near Costa Smeralda, in Palau, fully managed with transparent pricing and resale support built in. Every listing comes from vetted provider MYNE. Foreign demand for Sardinian real estate jumped 64.5% between 2019 and 2023, and prices remain well below Milan or Rome — part of why the island has become one of Italy's most compelling entry points for international buyers. Here is what is for sale now, what it actually costs, and how co-ownership works on Sardinia.

How many weeks per year can I use my share?
It depends on your share size, but most co-ownership arrangements allocate 4 to 8 weeks per year, split across seasons so every owner gets a mix of peak and off-peak time.
