Accessibility Statement

Website: parchotelgermanobardolino.it

Date of preparation: February 2026

pastedGraphic.png

1. Introduction and commitment

Parc Hotel Germano & Suites is committed to making its website accessible and usable by the widest possible audience, including users with disabilities, in compliance with European legislation (European Accessibility Act – EAA) and international web accessibility standards Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) Level AA and EN 301 549.

We believe that digital accessibility is a fundamental right and a value that enriches the experience of all our guests, present and future.

2. Scope of application

This statement applies to the website:

It includes all public pages of the website: homepage, room and suite pages, wellness services, tourist information, contact page and other informational sections.

3. Compliance status

The website parchotelgermanobardolino.it is currently partially compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and European standard EN 301 549 for websites.

Most of the main functionalities are usable by users with disabilities, but some non-compliances are still present that we are progressively resolving according to a continuous improvement plan.

4. Non-accessible content and functionalities

Based on technical assessments carried out in February 2026, the following accessibility issues have been identified as still present on some pages of the website:

4.1 Alternative texts for images (WCAG Success Criterion 1.1.1 – Level A)

Issue: Some images do not have adequate or appropriate alternative text.

Where it occurs:

Impact: Screen readers cannot properly describe these images to blind or visually impaired users.

Planned actions: Complete review of all images with addition of meaningful alternative texts or explicit marking as decorative (alt=””) where appropriate. Priority: homepage and room pages.

4.2 Insufficiently descriptive links and buttons (WCAG Criteria 2.4.4 and 4.1.2 – Level A/AA)

Issue: Some links and buttons do not have clear accessible names or are completely empty.

Where it occurs:

Impact: Screen reader users do not understand the destination or function of the link/button.

Planned actions: Addition of aria-label or visually-hidden text for all links and buttons, elimination of redundant links, improvement of CTA labels.

4.3 Insufficient color contrast (WCAG Criterion 1.4.3 – Level AA)

Issue: Some texts do not reach the minimum required contrast ratio (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).

Where it occurs:

Impact: Visually impaired users or users with color blindness may have difficulty reading these contents.

Planned actions: Review of color palette with application of darker tones to ensure minimum 4.5:1 contrast. Testing with color blindness simulation tools.

4.4 Non-sequential heading structure (WCAG Criteria 1.3.1 and 2.4.6 – Level A/AA)

Issue: The heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3…) has level skips and does not follow a logical and sequential order.

Where it occurs:

Impact: Screen reader users navigating by headings lose the logical context of the page and may skip important content.

Planned actions: Complete restructuring of heading hierarchy on all pages, ensuring sequential progression (H1 > H2 > H3…).

4.5 Forms without appropriate labels (WCAG Criteria 1.3.1, 3.3.2 – Level A)

Issue: Contact form fields do not have visible labels and use only placeholders, which disappear when the user starts typing.

Where it occurs:

Impact: Screen reader users do not properly perceive field labels. Users with cognitive disabilities may not understand which fields are required. The disappearing placeholder creates short-term memory problems.

Planned actions: Addition of visible and persistent labels for all form fields, clear and explicit indication of required fields with asterisk and legend, implementation of aria-required=”true”.

4.6 Limited keyboard navigation (WCAG Criteria 2.1.1, 2.4.7 – Level A/AA)

Issue: Some limitations in keyboard navigation (without mouse).

Where it occurs:

Impact: Users navigating only with keyboard (motor disabilities) have difficulty reaching some content and lose orientation after interaction with modal elements.

Planned actions: Complete implementation of keyboard focus management, addition of Esc key support to close modals, improvement of :focus styles with evident borders, focus position management after modal closure.

4.7 Other technical issues identified

Multimedia elements without alternatives:

ARIA elements:

Non-accessible PDF:
