Median rent for a single room in Bologna: €480 a month (September 2026), based on 19 single rooms listed in the last 120 days. Source: Plinthos, data as of 27 September 2026, https://plinthos.app/en/rent/bologna/rent-prices/
How we calculate these prices
- Source
- Room listings in Bologna collected from public websites: CasaDaPrivato (25), Affitti Studenti (2), ER.GO Vetrina Alloggi (2) and Servizio Alloggi (1).
- 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 27 September 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 (2 listings excluded).
- Duplicates
- A listing posted on several public websites counts once.
