THE SENSATION OF ANTIQUITY
The herringbone brick floors and the ancient mosaic tiles give you the sensation of antiquity. They’re the sort of floors that make you want to slip off your sandals and feel the patina of centuries beneath your feet. Red and white decorated arches recall the Moorish architecture of Spain’s Alhambra. Flowers and vines entwine wooden ‘Juliet’ balconies overlooking the courtyard. Wooden shutters seal cool rooms against the midday sun.
If you’ve ever wandered past a picturesque, colonial style mansion and wondered what it would be like to live in, this is your opportunity to find out. Make sure Alfiz Hotel is on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia and you’ll be staying in the heart of Cartagena’s walled city, in one of its most picturesque houses.

Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
