Lavanderia Self Laundry earns 4 stars just for existing--because trust me, in Venice, laundromats…read moreare rare. Ours broke the moment we arrived, and this spot quite literally saved our trip.
Tucked into a quiet street not far from Piazzale Roma and conveniently within walking distance of our place, this self-serve laundromat is small but mighty. It has 4 small washing machines, 2 large ones, and 4 dryers. It can fill up quickly, but both times I visited (mid-afternoon), I snagged a machine without any wait.
It's a bit pricey--€8 for a small wash and €10 for a large--hence 4 stars instead of 5, but you're paying for convenience in a city where laundry options are limited. Washing cycles are quick (~40 minutes), and my clothes came out looking and smelling great. I didn't use the dryers (sun-drying FTW!), but they're there if you need them.
The machines are easy to use and don't require any special cards. You pay with cash--€5, €10, or €20 bills accepted--and the payment kiosk gives change. Just load your laundry, select your cycle, pay, punch in the machine number, and press "start." They also sell detergent on-site if you need it.
Best bonus: the laundromat is right next to a bar called Punto G, which is owned by the same folks. If you run into any issues with the machines, just ask the bartender--super helpful. And honestly, sipping a Spritz while your clothes spin next door? That's peak Venetian multitasking.
Hours: Open daily from 7:30am-10:30pm (last wash at 9:30pm, last dry at 10pm).
Tip: Try to go during off-peak hours for the best chance at snagging a free machine.
