Ashford Castle, Ireland
A $75 million restoration project was recently carried out to restore this 13th-century grand estate to its former glory and accommodate guests to the ultimate castle experience. This included fixing ancient stonework and restoring Victorian-era oil paintings. But this towering Medieval castle has even more to offer.

Ashford Castle’s abandoned tunnels have been transformed into massive wine cellars capable of keeping more than 600 bottles. Additionally, the five-star hotel, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, offers an exquisite afternoon tea service with spectacular garden views.
