Pieve del Cairo

B&B

The idea

Pieve del Cairo, is an Italian municipality of 1.734 inhabitants in the province of Pavia in Lombardy. The municipality is located in lower Lomellina, on the left bank of the Po. It is essentially united with the ancient centre of Cairo Lomellino. With its strategic position and historical charm, it offers a favourable environment for the development of new activities. Its economy, traditionally linked to agriculture and handicrafts, is showing signs of growth thanks to the region’s growing tourist attraction.
The population of Pieve del Cairo, although not large, is characterised by a strong community identity and an affinity for local culinary traditions.

The project involves the renovation of an abandoned building located on the outskirts of Pieve del Cairo, a picturesque village in the Lomellina region, near the Arc de Triomphe. The building, which consists of two floors plus the ground floor and has an inner courtyard, will be transformed into a lively centre of activity concerning rental properties & catering.
The population of Pieve del Cairo, although not large, is characterised by a strong community identity and an appreciative affinity for local culinary traditions.

Project

Pieve del Cairo

Piazza G. Marconi, 27037 (PV)


1 Ground Floor Catering

The ground floor of the building will house a Schitzel Hause (still under evaluation), offering local residents and visitors an authentic culinary experience. The choice of this type of restaurant is based on originality and local market demand.

2 Upper Floor Apartments

The upper floors will be converted into residential flats. Approximately 10 flats of various sizes will be built to meet the needs of the local community. This strategy will not only revive the building, but also contribute to revitalising the urban fabric of Pieve del Cairo.

Business Plan

The business plan envisages an initial investment for the purchase of the entire building ( 40\50,000 euro ) and for its renovation ( the amount is still to be assessed ) estimated on the basis of the local real estate market valuations. The operating costs will be covered mainly by the income generated by the rental of the flats and the catering business.
The rental rates for the flats will be set in line with the local market, ensuring a balance between profitability and affordability for potential tenants ( approximately 400\450 euro ).

With regard to the restaurant business, the business plan includes an in-depth analysis of operating costs, including the purchase of raw materials, personnel and overheads. The pricing of dishes will be competitive, aiming to attract both local customers and passing tourists.

In addition, targeted marketing strategies will be implemented to promote both the restaurant business and the availability of the residential flats, utilising online and offline channels to maximise the visibility and attractiveness of the project.

With sound planning and careful execution, the building renovation project in Pieve del Cairo promises to become a vital hub for the local community, contributing to economic growth and improved quality of life.
