Who loves a romantic (and wheelchair accessible) getaway?
Four ideas for accessible retreats—beachside, forested, on the road, or in the hills, for an unforgettable couples holiday!
Who says an accessible accommodation has to feel like a hospital stay? If you’re planning a weekend for two, to slow down, be cosy, and enjoy each other’s company while having all the wheelchair accessibility you need, we’ve got a few places you’ll want to hear about.
We’ve found four romantic spots that pair real accessibility with real charm, each in a totally different setting. From forest hideouts to open-road adventures (yes, even a highway-ready camper!), these places are about taking your time, feeling at home, and being together.
Fig Trees, Sea Breezes, and a Taste of Southern Hospitality
Let’s start in Salento, deep in southern Italy, at the very tip of the Apulia region. There, tucked among fig trees and olive groves, Masseria Limbitello offers two accessible double rooms in a beautifully restored farmhouse. You’re just five minutes drive from one of the best accessible beaches, but once you’re back at the property, it’s all countryside quiet—terracotta paths, sea breezes, and cicadas in the background. Both rooms have roll-in showers, grab bars and level outdoor areas where you can sit in the shade and chill. Breakfast includes homemade cakes, and the hosts? Warm, present, and super kind. You can even bring your pet.
Takeaway: If your idea of a good day is a swim in the sea followed by a glass of wine under a tree, this one’s for you. Discover Masseria Limbitello on WheelTribe.
Wander the Belgian Woods, Then Retreat to Your Cosy Chalet Nest
Looking for something greener and cooler? A romantic chalet in the Belgian Ardennes offers a private retreat surrounded by woods. Created and run by Neele, who is herself a wheelchair user, tt’s fully accessible—there’s a roll-in shower, a barrier-free layout, and even a ceiling hoist. The interior is wooden, warm, and wonderfully cosy. Outside, you’ll find forest paths, shifting mists, and all the silence you didn’t realise you needed. Perfect in any season, this is where you go to reconnect with nature—and with each other.
Takeaway: Forest lovers, this is your nest. Expect soft moss, morning birds, and evenings curled up indoors. Discover Neeltje's chalet on WheelTribe
Mountain Views and Quiet Days Near Lourdes
Maybe you're after something more reflective. In the French town of Maslacq, near Pau and not far from Lourdes, there’s a bright, welcoming apartment that makes a great base for couples looking to blend comfort with cultural or spiritual visits. The flat is fully level, with good space to move around and a calm garden just outside. You’ll have mountain views in the distance and a gentle, slow-paced rhythm that invites rest. Whether you're here to explore, reflect, or simply pause, it’s a place that feels grounded and serene.
Takeaway: For couples wanting to nurture the spirit and the bond—with a view of the Pyrenees. Discover the apartment on WheelTribe.
Take the Road—and All the Accessibility You Need—with You
And then, there’s the road. For those who like the idea of going wherever the day takes you, the adapted camper from the non-profit Io Posso offers a unique option. It’s set up with a lift, a hoist, accessible bathroom, and a layout that works for wheelchair users. Based in Apulia (it’s run by the same folks behind the accessible beaches in Salento), the camper can be rented through a crowdfunding system or by direct quote, depending on your plans. You wake up by the beach, in the mountains, or parked by a vineyard—it’s up to you.
Takeaway: If freedom is your love language, this camper is your best bet for a road trip across Italy. Discover how the Camper can be reserved on WheelTribe.
