At €859/m², the house is already about 52% above comparable local listings, reaching roughly €1,109/m² after allowing for modest works. The description suggests a usable townhouse, but its G energy rating, unspecified condition and remote hamlet location weaken the value; the attic is not currently habitable.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable and atmospheric townhouse with extensive exposed beams, a working fireplace, a practical furnished kitchen, and a private covered portico. The interiors are well maintained enough for immediate use, though dated finishes, an old-fashioned bathroom, and worn stair areas keep it below dream-home level.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- The home is clearly usable but dated, especially the narrow bathroom and stair finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the overall condition/utility systems should be verified.
- No compelling landscape or town views are visible in the gallery.
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 62/100The cluster is in the Parma Apennines, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys of the Stirone basin within the 15 km radius. The Stirone stream runs through the area, and the Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano reaches into the zone around Pellegrino Parmense and nearby Salsomaggiore. Salsomaggiore Terme is the nearest town of size, with thermal facilities, services and a substantial early-20th-century spa town fabric. The area is known for hill farming and woods, and in this part of the province also for cured meats and Parmigiano Reggiano production further across the Parmense hills.
