Mini Dialogue

Avete il servizio di lavanderia? Sì, ritiro il mattino e consegna in serata. Quanto costa circa? Dipende dal capo — le lascio il listino prezzi.

Do you have a laundry service? Yes, pick-up in the morning and delivery in the evening. How much does it cost roughly? It depends on the item — I'll leave you the price list.

Cultural Note

Italian hotel laundry services are usually priced per item (per capo). Dry-cleaning (lavaggio a secco) is separate and more expensive. For casual items, a nearby lavanderia automatica (coin laundry) is a much cheaper option.
