To assure optimal wheelchair accessibility for all aspects of the villa, we reviewed them during a number of interviews with wheelchair users.
After that a six months renovation was carried out with optimal accessibility in mind. Many aspects and features of the villa were altered or build new to help wheelchair users to be able to be as independent as possible during their stay in Villa Caricia.
