The €25,000 asking price is only €78/m² versus about €420/m² locally, but this 320 m² former trattoria is described as a story to revive and its residential condition is not stated. Assuming major restoration at roughly €1,100/m², the effective cost is about €1,178/m², well above the local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a remarkably large former village trattoria with a wonderful mountain-and-valley outlook, distinctive signage, wrought-iron details, and a strong sense of place. The roof, floors, kitchen/bar areas, windows, and bathrooms appear substantially intact, but the building needs meaningful refurbishment and adaptation before it becomes a comfortable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€127,000 – €187,000
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 facade has extensive peeling plaster and visible cracking, while some interiors show ceiling staining and general neglect.
- It appears configured as a former trattoria/bar rather than a ready-made private home, so conversion and modernization may be needed.
- Utilities, structural condition, and permissions for residential use are not confirmed.
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.
