Do you need information about travelling with disabilities in Italy?
Important for those with supposedly "mild" disabilities!
Even if you or your relatives only appear to have mild physical or mental disabilities and are therefore limited in their motor skills, you should not assume that it is possible to move around the entire Villa La Rogaia area without assistance.
Please contact us before booking, even if you have supposedly mild disabilities, to clarify what is possible and what is not.
Individual preparation of the apartments
When planning our wheelchair-accessible apartments, we quickly realized that there is no such thing as a "standard disabled person".
Barrier-free always applies.
Otherwise, the requirements for an apartment can vary greatly from individual to individual. What is helpful for one person can be an obstacle for another.
That is why we prepare our disabled-accessible apartments individually for each guest in a wheelchair, as far as we can, after consultation with them.
Therefore, do not assume that you will find a "standard disabled bathroom", for example, so that it seems unnecessary to tell us in advance that you or one of your relatives have physical limitations.
Always contact us before booking.
This also applies if, for example, you are traveling with older relatives who may be restricted in their mobility.
