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.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“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.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
