Laundry facilities in Italy
My apologies if this is a silly question but this is our first trip to Italy and these questions keep popping in my head almost on a daily basis. My husband and I will be spending 14 days in Italy (Tome, Tuscany, Venice) and are concerned that we may end up having to do laundry at some point. I guess I'm just wondering if laundry facilities are available if your not staying in apartments.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, laundromats are available.
Here's the one I went to in Venice:

I don't have the URL for Florence, but there are laundromats there also, and in any town of reasonable size I'm sure.

From my experience, you could find coin laundry in city centre in most city and large towns, just check with the reception of your accommadations. Last year, in a small town in Umbria, no coin laundry, but a clearner did "wash and fold" for 8 Euro per kilo.

It depends what establishments you are staying in. We stayed in smaller guest house style, small hotel and I asked before I left did they have a machine we could use. Some said yes some said no. Obviously I washed where I could, but laundrets do not appear thick and fast on the ground in Italy, even in the larger cities. France is a different story, but Italy has been a problem each time we go.

We were in Italy for a month and did laundry frequently. I went to Siene when we were in San Gigmi, because there wasn't a laundry mat there. Did it in Pisa as well, still have a coin for the machine. Pack dry sheets so you do not have to buy them. Rick Steves books frequently mention locations. I also think there is a web site....seems to me it my be busy bee laundry, but I could be wrong. Any town with a university will have one close by.

Thank you so much for the website and for all the info! I will email the hotels we are staying in and ask if they have laundry service also. I find it a definite challenge not to overpack for this trip or any trip I go on!
