Sennariolo, an inland village in western Sardinia

Sennariolo's houses are gathered at around two hundred and seventy metres, inland from Sardinia's west coast, in the northern part of the province of Oristano. The sea is not far off, and the volcanic Montiferru massif is part of the landscape of the area. The climate is mild, zone C, with hot, dry summers.

This is a tiny village, with many low stone houses like those of other rural settlements on the island. For groceries, the doctor and schools, people go to the larger towns in the area, and for the hospital and public offices to Oristano. Anyone looking for an inland home with beaches within driving distance will find a quiet setting here. Before buying an older house, check the roof, damp in the walls and the wiring and plumbing, which often need redoing.

In 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 153 residents, 30 fewer than the 183 of 2011, a fall of 16.4%. The average age is 52.0, against 49.8 in the province, and 35.9% of residents are over 65. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Seismic hazard in Sardinia is low: all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in zone 4, and expected ground acceleration here is about 0.050 g. For a buyer, the condition of the house and how well it keeps out the summer heat matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here. The report starts from the address, finds the land parcel and checks landslide and flood hazard on the official maps for that spot.

Key points

  • Inland village in western Sardinia, north of the province of Oristano.

Overview

Sennariolo is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 153 residents, among the smallest in the province (83 of 87).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Sennariolo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 16.4%. The estimated average age is 52 years, higher than the province average (50). 36% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 3.9% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Sennariolo declared an average taxable income of 15,239 euros, below the provincial average (19,764 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Sennariolo is in climate zone C, with 1,328 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 November to 31 March, for up to 10 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 274 metres above sea level.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Sennariolo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Sardegna in 2022. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Sennariolo: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Sennariolo are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 3 inhabited census areas in Sennariolo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 68 or more.
