Self-service laundromats (lavanderie self-service): exist in most cities. €4–8 for wash + dry. Chains: Wash&Dry, Speed Queen, LavaRapido. Google Maps "lavanderia self-service" for nearest one. Hotel laundry service: most 3–4 star hotels offer it (€3–8 per item — expensive). Airbnb/apartment: most have a washing machine (Italian machines are smaller, cycles take 2h+, dryers are rare — Italians hang-dry on a stendino/drying rack). Drop-off laundry (lavanderia): leave clothes, pick up next day. €5–10/kg. Less common than self-service. Tip: pack quick-dry clothing and hand-wash in the sink with travel detergent (Dr. Beckmann sheets, Scrubba bags). Italian sun dries clothes on a balcony in 2–4 hours.
