Do you know of any laundrymats in Positano or Rome?
We will be packing light and will need to do some laundry. Hate to pay high hotel fees for this. Any advice on doing it ourselves?(besides washing things out and hanging to dry in the room)
In Positano we will stay at Villa Rosa, and Rome hotel is Residenza Canali.
Thanks--K.

We stayed at the Residenza Canali a few weeks ago, and Stephan at the front desk directed us to a laundromat a few blocks away. (I can't begin to give you directions, but Stephan can point it out on the map. If you don't find it at first, wander around the streets - you'll come across it. It is on a little side street near kind of a busy street).
The man running the laundromat is not very friendly - we had the impression that if we were one minute late returning after 30 minutes our laundry would be piled in the street, but he did get the job done. We dropped off our clothes, putting them in the machines ourselves. He puts in the soap and turns on the machines. 30 minutes later, you come back, he opens the washing machine doors, throws a plastic basket at you and you take out your wet clothes. Then he points to which dryer to use, and you put your clothes in. He will turn the dryer on for you. (He will yell if he thinks you are going to touch one of the buttons - let him do that part!!) I think a wash and dry was around 9 euros (including a scoop of soap).
We put in the laundry, went around the corner to a nice little cafe, sat for 29 minutes, then hubby went back to switch the clothes to the dryer, came back and drank wine for 29 minutes, then went and retrieved our clothes. Really pretty easy! We actually did laundry twice.
Have fun in Rome!
