The fabled Emerald Isle is a land of myth and legend, where every glen, valley, and timeless country hamlet is steeped in ancient folklore. Tales of Viking raiders and stoic Christian monks echo through Ireland’s castles and caves. Enigmatic stone structures belie a long, long past, and people talk of faeries and sprites in the forests. Meanwhile, whisky flows in the foot-stomping pubs, and there are jaw-dropping natural reserves and dramatic coastlines. Luxury rentals in Ireland are sure to provide an unforgettable holiday experience.
Prepare to be captivated by the winding driving route of the Ring of Kerry. It’s 111 miles of pure sublimity – think craggy mountains plunging into the roaring Atlantic Ocean, salt-caked rock stacks standing tall in the sea, and cosy pubs with crackling log fires and hearty Irish stews ready to warm you up.
Dublin, a city that defies expectations, is a vibrant blend of hedonism and history. Its reputation for revelry precedes it, with the raucous Temple Bar district serving as its lively heart. Here, stoop pubs and Gaelic bands keep the night alive. But Dublin also has a proud, sober side, showcased in the grand Georgian frontispieces of Merrion Square, home to Michelin-starred eateries and sumptuous spas. It’s a city that invites you to explore its many facets.
From there, it’s easy to launch expeditions out to the fascinating stone hill tombs of Newgrange. These ancient structures, believed to be over 3,200 years old, predate even the Egyptian Pyramids and the acropolises of ancient Mycenae, offering a glimpse into a distant past. More historic wonders await at the Victorian Kilkenny Castle, hailed as one of the most handsome fortified mansions in the world, and Ross Castle, a former stronghold of Irish warlords nestled amidst the undulating hills and lakes of the Killarney National Park.
Steeped in history, Waterford claims to be Ireland’s oldest city. Founded by Vikings on the banks of the River Suir, it boasts a rich past, evident in its medieval walls and cathedral. But Waterford is not stuck in time. This vibrant city offers award-winning food, buzzing cultural events, and - of course - its world-famous crystal.
