It depends on the listing. At Lupo Rooms you can filter by "Bills included" to see only rooms where water, electricity, gas and internet are included in the monthly price.

Yes! That's Lupo Rooms' main advantage. Every student room in Padua is verified and professionally photographed. We video-call with landlords if you need and show you everything in detail. You can book 100% online, fully safely, without having to travel first.

What's the difference between a private and a shared room? expand_more

Private room: The room is just for you. You pay more (€450-650) but you get more privacy and personal space.
Shared room (double): You share the room with another student. It's cheaper (€300-450 per person) and usually more lively — ideal for meeting people and practising languages.

Not at all. At Lupo Rooms all listings are translated and landlords are used to international students. Plus, our multilingual team supports you throughout the process in your language: from booking to solving any issues during your stay.

What documents do I need to rent a room in Padua? expand_more

You'll typically need: valid passport or ID, university enrolment certificate or admission letter, European IBAN and security deposit (usually 1-3 months of rent). Some landlords may ask for an Italian guarantor, but at Lupo Rooms we work with landlords used to international students who accept other alternatives.

Which area of Padua do you recommend if I study Engineering? expand_more

If you study Engineering, the best area is Portello, where most technical faculties are. Good alternatives are Centro Storico (well connected) and San Giuseppe (quiet and close).
