🇺🇸Accommodation in Bologna: A Guide to Prices

Are you looking for accommodation in Bologna? The city's rental market is under pressure, with 100,000 students and growing tourism driving up prices. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect to pay.

Shared room in Bologna: between 300 and 450 euros

Shared rooms are common in Bologna, as in other cities with high housing demand like London. You're not getting a room, but a bed in a room with two or three other people. This brings the rent below 400 euros, but raises issues of privacy and nighttime comfort... It's a last resort solution to avoid.

Shared accommodation in Bologna: between 500 and 900 euros

A room for yourself in a decent shared accommodation in Bologna's center starts at 500 euros. At this price, most apartments are "as-is". To find a cozy room for under 700 euros, you'll need to look into coliving solutions, i.e. sharing with 5-10 people, not 2-3. These rooms are often sold without ads “off-market”. WeDolceVita works with owners who offer these. For those seeking more intimate shared accommodation (2-3 people max), rooms in good standing apartments can go up to 900 euros.

Studio in Bologna: from 800 to 1,300 euros (or more)

The minimum monthly rent for a "decent" studio with natural light (not semi-basement) is 800 euros. Studios advertised at lower prices on Immobiliare or Idealista often have additional fees exceeding 200 euros. To avoid having your bed in the living room next to the kitchen, expect a minimum rent of 950 euros. With this budget, you can find a studio with a separate sleeping area for slightly higher prices. But for a T2 apartment with a separate bedroom, expect a budget over 1,000 euros.
