Where available and used, you can expect to triple your electricity bill. Telephones are generally available, but do not come with answering machines. All overseas calls must be charged to your international calling card. Utility charges are specified on your Voucher and are usually due and payable before leaving the house at the end of your stay. We have specified dishwashers and washing machines, so if it's not mentioned, it's not provided.
Dryers are a true rarity.
Irons, ironing boards and drying racks are standard equipment in all Italian homes. We've noted food processors or toaster ovens where we've noticed them, but cannot promise to have been scrupulous about such items. Ovens are electric even though most stoves are gas. Virtually all houses will have a 'moka' or European coffee maker. The kitchens are all stocked with pots and pans, etc.
