Accessible Cinque Terre Hotels for Disabled Tourists

Finding a truly wheelchair accessible hotel in Cinque Terre can be challenging. The landscape of the region is hilly and rugged which means that many hotels are built on the hillsides. This makes many of them hard to access. Furthermore, many hotels will say they are accessible without understanding the needs of disabled travers when it comes to door widths, grab bars, turning surfaces etc.

When finding your accessible Cinque Terre hotel, you must consider several important things: Does the hotel have the specific accessibility features you need? Does the hotel have wheelchair friendly common spaces, doorways and elevators? Is the hotel located centrally in walking/rolling distance to restaurants, shops etc.? Is the area outside the hotel flat and smooth?

Cinque Terre Disabled Access Review

By John Sage On the rugged Italian Riviera coastline, you’ll find the incredible Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old seaside villages. Peppered with colorful houses, vineyards, steep terraces, fishing boats and delicious pesto, this gem of the Liguria region is a treat for all visitors, including disabled travelers and their families.

While Cinque Terre isn’t generally perceived as an easy place to visit for wheelchair users due to hilly terrain, lack of accessible transportation options and sights being spread out throughout the villages, it is possible to have an enjoyable time here with the right amount of planning. Unlike many other old Italian cities, you won’t be challenged with lots of hard to navigate cobblestoned areas.
