Median rent for a single room in Bologna: €505 a month (November 2026), based on 22 single rooms listed in the last 120 days. Source: Plinthos, data as of 12 November 2026, https://plinthos.app/en/rent/bologna/rent-prices/
How we calculate these prices
- Source
- Room listings in Bologna posted on Plinthos (1) and collected from public websites: CasaDaPrivato (24), ER.GO Vetrina Alloggi (5), Servizio Alloggi (5) and Affitti Studenti (2).
- Period
- Listings published in the last 120 days and still online, rechecked every day. Rooms “new in the last 30 days” are those that first appeared in that period, on Plinthos or on a public site; a source we have tracked for less than 30 days adds none. Data as of 12 November 2026.
- Price
- The monthly asking rent in the listing. It is not the rent in the signed contract and may not include bills.
- Calculation
- Median and middle 50% (25th to 75th percentile), rounded to the nearest €5. Rooms and beds only: no flats or studios.
- Thresholds
- A room type is shown with at least 10 listings, an area with at least 5 single rooms. Below that, we show only the number of listings.
- Exclusions
- Rents below €50, or less than 0.4 times or more than 2.5 times the city median: almost always input errors (1 listing excluded).
- Duplicates
- A listing posted on several public websites counts once. Listings posted on Plinthos are not matched against those from public websites: if a landlord posts the same room in both places, it counts twice.
