Geotoura - Hotel concept
When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.
We categorise our accommodation in the British Isles into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.
Boutique Hotels - Four categories
Encantador (‘Charming’): Privately run bed & breakfast guesthouses with a small number of cosy rooms and a lovingly prepared breakfast.
Especial (‘Special’): Enjoy stylish interiors and comfort in the mostly family-run boutique hotels with historic charm. Stay in the city centre or in beautiful natural surroundings.
Extraordinario (‘Extraordinary’): Centuries-old buildings, such as historic manor houses or castles, sometimes also modern design hotels with special architecture. Usually equipped with a restaurant, bar or spa area.
Luna de Miel (‘honeymoon’): For your honeymoon – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …
Character of this travel idea
Experience culture
From the outside, Cork City Gaol looks more like an elegant Irish castle. Behind the grey walls, however, goose bumps creep up your spine as you wander along the oppressive corridors with the cold bars of the cells. Dublin Castle, on the other hand, holds the promise of stately splendour.
Its almost whimsical mix of styles combines functionality with delicate elegance on the outside, while the tasteful interior will delight lovers of antique furniture as well as art connoisseurs. If you do miss a bit of goose bumps, then descend into the medieval crypt in the castle, where the 13th century suddenly seems close enough to touch. However, Dublin can impress with more than just historical architecture.
The city practically has its daily open-air stage. The sounds from Grafton Street reach your ears from afar. Here, locals and visitors perform on the street and in the pubs and sweep you away with their cheerful tunes. It’s no wonder that even the music star Ed Sheeran has set up a musical monument to this street.
Experience nature
Lush green hills, vast moors and gently rolling mountain ridges epitomise the Irish natural idyll. You will find this typical image of the island on your 15-day tour of Ireland in the Wicklow Mountains. This is also home to traditions and myths – and one of Ireland’s most beautiful landscaped gardens.
The Powerscourt Gardens are hard to beat in terms of beauty and sophistication. With a view of the elegant Powerscout House, you stroll along manicured paths past a veritable explosion of colour that perennials and roses unfold here in summer.
In the Italian garden, a piece of Tuscan flair will entice you to stay and you can hear the Powerscout Waterfall, the highest waterfall in Ireland, from afar. Simply unpack your picnic blanket on the lawn at the foot of this natural spectacle and savour this magical moment.
Ireland culinary treasures
Ireland’s cuisine is often seen in the tradition of poor people’s food. During your visit to Ireland, you will discover that this down-to-earth tradition can be very tasty and not at all poor. In addition to the famous Irish stew, it is mainly fish and seafood that has been tantalising the palate in recent times. Smoked wild salmon, oysters and lobster will win over even gourmets. Meat lovers can look forward to fine lamb and tender Angus beef. “Back to the roots, on the other hand, with soda bread, porridge, boxty, coddle and black pudding.
The authentic Ireland
It smells wonderful under the vaulted roof of the 19th century market hall. The English Market is a rustic piece of Ireland where you can discover and sample culinary treasures from the region. Even the Queen has been known to browse among the greengrocers, butchers, bakers and countless food stalls here.
You can also experience a feast for the senses in Kilkenny. Here you can immerse yourself in the world of Smithwick beers. Smell, feel and taste the raw materials and end products, while the expert brewers reveal a piece of the secret to the perfect pint.
