April 2011:The tourism industry in Northern Ireland has received a major boost with the successful opening of the unique and highly exclusive Montalto Estate which is now available for private rental.
Montalto is also the launch property in the new Private Rentals Collection of Ireland’s Blue Book.
According to Michelle Maguire, Marketing Manager with Ireland’s Blue Book, “We are delighted to welcome
Montalto Estate to the “Blue Book Private Rentals Collection”. From the moment you arrive at the gates of the Montalto Estate you know you have reached a very special place. Everyone we send to Montalto will be truly delighted and absolutely enchanted with the beautiful, historical hideaway they will find waiting for them.”
Set in 400 acres of the beautiful County Down countryside, Montalto is easily accessible from both Belfast and Dublin International airports, proximate to some of the best golf and gardens on the Island. Yet this special hideaway is so private, it is one of Ireland’s best kept secrets with the world class services you would expect from the leading 5 star hotels. Montalto has been lovingly restored to its former Georgian glory by the Wilson family, under the guidance of Ireland’s foremost conservation architect, John O’Connell of Dublin. Magnificent art and carefully chosen antique furniture decorate the property while David Wilson, eldest son of the Wilson family and now owner of the estate, personally ensures that each visitor is welcomed as a special guest.
Montalto Estate is available for exclusive private hire for up to 9 individuals or 9 couples while each visit is tailored to match guests’ precise requirements as Lord or Lady of the Manor. At your service -- the attention of your personal butler, the skill of renowned chefs (featuring only the freshest, finest local ingredients) and the hands-on-management of one of Ireland’s respected hospitality professionals. Guests may dine as formally or informally as they choose. In addition to the extensive selection of wines from four continents, Montalto also boasts an outstanding collection of Irish and Scottish whiskeys.
Helicopter access is available for excursions near and far. But links golf is just minutes away at Royal County Down golf, as is Downpatrick, the final resting place of Patrick, Ireland’s Patron Saint. For touring pleasure, guests also can choose the Giant’s Causeway World Heritage site, the renowned Mount Stewart Gardens and more links golf at Royal Portrush (former home of the Open). However, for guests who prefer complete rest and relaxation, the on-site spa treatments and therapies combined with the Estate’s garden walks and lake fishing are the perfect answer.
Montalto is a very special place, where history and luxury meet to offer an unforgettable and exclusive experience.
