In Sardinia - - Villasimius,
there are two adapted flats for disabled people. The residence name is Porto
Giunco - Villasimius (Cagliari). The residence is near the sea, (the beach is 50
metres away).The
Porto Giunco’s
beach is
wonderful! White sand and turquoise water!
The room has a double bed, with 1metre free space around it, a television and air conditioning There are no steps inside. There is a little kitchen in the corner, and the room overlooks the portico and then a garden. The bathroom did not have the typical aspects of disabled bathrooms, but it was sufficiently large, with free spaces under the lavatory and more than 65 cm near the water closet and a shower without steps. To visit the beach and to go in/out of the sea, you can hire a local personal assistant (6/8 hours per day) to help you. After our experiences, we found them strictly necessary. On the beach, there is a sporting center, where, with a little help, a paraplegic person can go on a catamaran (sail boat), snorkel, and make some excursions with a local boat. In every restaurant, at the moment of reservation, if you indicate that you have a wheelchair, the steps are not a problem. The waitress in the restaurant will be happy to help you. We had two wonderful experiences at the Ragno Blu Restaurant and Il Giardino Other information and ReferencesThe
