A beautifully restored hacienda dating back to the 18th century, the property was magically transformed by its owners into a small luxury hotel. Though just minutes from Merida, this elegant hideaway and its nine acres of luscious tropical gardens feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of the capital. The 18 suites come beautifully adorned with antiques, hand-carved colonial furnishings and intricate textiles. The bathrooms are generously sized with carved rock bathtubs.

When not exploring Merida’s historic streets, your time can be spent strolling about the hotel’s pretty grounds with its lily ponds, sacred trees and gently-flowing waterfall. There’s also two swimming pools and a spa offering Maya-style massages. The Casa de Piedra restaurant is a favourite among locals, serving up a unique menu of Caribbean-inspired dishes prepared using French techniques.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!
