Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryChiostro Delle Monache Hostel Volterra, housed in an old monastery, offers a blend of historical charm and modern accessibility features, making it a surprisingly convenient stay for those with disabilities. The building is equipped with an elevator to aid in transporting items and provide easy access to its centuries-old rooms. The bathrooms are equipped with handrails, ensuring safety and compliance with accessibility standards.
While the hostel is accessible by car, motorcycle and public transport, it also offers parking on the premises, an advantage in this region. The spacious bathrooms, although featuring small showers, meet ADA compliance and the rooms themselves come equipped with various amenities suitable for all visitors.
A 20-minute walk connects the hostel to the historic center of Volterra, making the location practical though the route lacks consistent sidewalks and can be somewhat daunting at night. Signage for accessibility could be improved to make navigation easier within the premises.
Despite these few downsides, the hostel’s strategic position near the historic center and proximity to shops make it a practical choice for groups and individual travelers alike. Overall, the combination of accessibility features and the proximity to the old city center offers a pleasant balance of convenience and historical ambiance.
