Link Campus University is a private Italian university whose Rome branch occupies the Casale di San Pio V, a sixteenth-century manor commissioned by Pope Pius V as a summer residence and now a striking medieval campus inside a wooded park in the Aurelio district. The university traces its origins to a 1992 partnership with the University of Malta and moved its operations to Rome in 1999. The campus stretches across two main complexes — the historic Casale di San Pio V and a modern block on Via Pietro De Francisci — and runs degree programmes in political science, international relations, communication, cybersecurity, law and the arts, with classes capped at twenty-five students.

The Casale di San Pio V sits on the western flank of Rome, between the Vatican and the Janiculum. These four districts cover the area best for walking distance, transport and student supply:
Together these districts list more than +650 properties on Spotahome, all of them fully furnished and ready to live in from the day you arrive in Rome.
Link Campus operates an active Erasmus+ programme through its International Office, with partner agreements across Europe and a long history of exchange in international relations and political science. The campus park hosts study groups, networking events and student-run conferences, and the Aurelio district sits within walking distance of the Vatican Museums, the Auditorium della Conciliazione and the Trastevere nightlife. Many incoming students settle in Aurelio or Gianicolense to stay close to class while having easy access to the historic centre.
The Casale di San Pio V at Via del Casale di San Pio V 44 is well served from the centre even though it sits west of the Vatican:
The most student-friendly options near the Casale di San Pio V are:
If you want walking distance to the Casale, choose Aurelio. For the lowest prices and the deepest supply, Gianicolense is the safest bet.
These are the price ranges across Aurelio, Gianicolense, Trionfale and Prati, based on the Spotahome Rent Index 2026:
| Accommodation type | Average price | Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Room in a shared flat | 650 € - 1,000 € | 310 |
| Studio | 1,225 € - 2,034 € | 80 |
| Whole apartment | 1,800 € - 3,000 € | 308 |
The most popular choice among Link Campus students is a room in a shared flat: more than 300 listings with an average price of around 700 €/month and bills often included.
Three to four months ahead of the start of term is the safest window. Demand peaks in late August and early January because the rest of Rome's universities open at the same time, so booking by June or November keeps the widest choice and best prices open in Aurelio and Gianicolense.
Every property on Spotahome goes through a verification process before publication, so the photos and floor plans you see represent the actual flat. If anything doesn't match the listing on arrival, report it within twenty-four hours and the team will help with mediation, relocation or another solution.
The deposit is set by the landlord, usually one or two months of rent. On listings tagged "Deposit protected", Spotahome refunds the deposit directly if the landlord doesn't return it within three months of moving out and you've met the contract terms. There are also many properties on Spotahome without a deposit, which you can filter for in the search.
No. You'll need an ID or passport, your Link Campus enrolment confirmation and a payment method. After the landlord accepts the booking, they may request proof of solvency and a SEPA direct debit to finalise the contract.
The monthly price always includes rent, the IBI property tax and condominium fees. Utilities such as electricity, water, gas and Wi-Fi are included in many listings but not in all. Personal expenses like groceries, toiletries and optional services such as a weekly cleaner or parking are never included. Read each listing description carefully to know exactly what is in and what is out.
