SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

Posada Plaza Mayor

The tiny cobbled streets of Colonia del Sacramento take you back to 1680. But the Posada is much more modern – a mere 200 plus years old.

CLASSIC HOTEL IN AN 1860 VILLA

Manuel Lobo founded Colonia del Sacramento as long ago as 1680. Wandering through its tiny cobbled streets today will enable you to see deep into its past.

Follow the winding alleys between gaily painted houses built in the original Spanish and Portuguese styles, using baked mud or stone, and you will come to Posada Plaza Mayor.

Originally a Portuguese ranch house dating back to the 1700s the present house was rebuilt in the 1860s and is today a completely charming a place to stay. Lush plants climb the stone walls of a quaint central courtyard, that’s cooled by the sound of water cascading from a picturesque fountain.

Inside, the theme of simple, almost rustic, elegance continues; with exposed stone walls, cool décor and gracious service.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.

“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.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
