Thanks, we found it. And a very good launderette it is too - just a bit hard to find on Google Maps first time!

Hello,

My wife and I are in Alvor for almost a month and a half and were looking for a laundromat. We saw this Lavendaria White on google maps and went there today. It's the one in the Dunas complex. The reviews we saw on google maps showed 4 washers/dryers and gave prices/kg of laundry, etc. But when we go there today there was only a man and a woman who took our bags, weighed them (5.76kg) and charged us EUR 22.75. That seems to be way more than the reviewers on google maps were saying to use the machines last year.

Has this been taken over recently? It's only a 8 minute walk from where we're staying and we don't have a car (2 seniors). Would like to know if there is a reliable laundromat like you find in N. America not too far from this one?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Hello, 

There is a huge new Intermarche
supermarket near the entrance to Alvor, usually there are washing machines and dryers in the car parks of the big supermarkets. Much cheaper!! Perhaps give them a ring.  
tel: 00351 282 242 200. There’s a decent cafe there where you can have a coffee and a cake while you wait. Uber taxi’s are very cheap here.

 Good luck.

Lagos is full of them. Ask in the Tourist office in Alvor.

There is a Service Wash business very near Lavanderia White - I think you went there by mistake. We did the same thing the first time. Google Maps is not very helpful.

From the Service Wash place go back to Esrt. de Barca, turn right then right again at the end of that building.

Thanks, Nick, we found it. We'll be going here for the balance of our stay.
