Accommodation in Gozo

Gozo offers  mobility-friendly accommodation facilities. Accommodation is a central theme when booking a holiday. We suggest that you search for those hotels, guesthouses, boutique hotels or holiday rentals that clearly state that they provide facilities like wheelchair friendly bathrooms (and show pictures of such facilities). Do not shy from contacting the management asking for other particular requirements that you might have such as diet needs or the possibility of storing medication in a fridge.  Most places in Gozo are keen to help out to ensure that you can enjoy your holiday and have a great time.
