Bienvenida — Welcome
Hi, I'm Sofia. I don't sell brochures — I sell places I've stood in.
I'm Sofia, the founder of Vanelle Travels, an independent travel business based in London. Before I planned a single trip for anyone else, I studied travel and aviation for several years — then turned that into 42 countries across Europe.
Every itinerary I create comes from real experience — from planning long road trips and multi-stop journeys to navigating multiple flights, transfers, and everything in between.
I create personalised holidays built around your needs, your interests, and the way you actually want to travel — so your trip feels completely yours.

Curated by Sofia
Places worth going beautifully.
A hand-picked collection of European escapes for travellers who want more than a generic itinerary — elegant stays, beautiful surroundings, memorable experiences and a plan that feels completely personal.
Switzerland
Switzerland, in the scenery
Mountain roads, lake views and beautifully planned journeys where the route itself becomes part of the holiday.
Italy
Venice
Canals, intimate restaurants and beautiful moments away from the busiest streets — Venice at its most captivating.
Spain
Seville, golden hours
Grand architecture, tiled courtyards, long lunches and warm evenings — a city made for wandering beautifully.
Austria
Vienna, beautifully classic
Imperial architecture, elegant cafés and a slower kind of luxury — perfect for a refined European city escape.
These are just five of the places I've experienced. If it's in Europe, there's a good chance I've already been — ask me.
The Vanelle difference
What I actually do
No packages off the shelf. Every trip starts with a conversation and is built around you — your pace, your budget, your interests, and how you actually want to travel.
01
Bespoke itineraries
A carefully planned route built around your trip, from the places worth stopping for to the best ways to get between them.
02
Stays & experiences
Thoughtful recommendations for hotels, restaurants, activities and experiences that fit the kind of holiday you want.
03
Travel logistics
Flights, trains, transfers, road-trip routes and multi-stop journeys — researched and organised into one clear plan.
04
On-the-ground knowledge
Real recommendations from places I've actually visited, with English and Spanish support when you need it.
The process
How a trip gets built
Four conversations, roughly — start to finished plan.
01
The brief
A proper conversation — not a form. Who's travelling, what you want the trip to feel like, and what's non-negotiable.
02
The draft route
A first itinerary built from places I know personally, with reasoning for every stop and swap-out options.
03
Refine & finalise
We adjust until it's right, then I hand you a complete, ready-to-book plan with everything laid out clearly.
04
While you're away
You'll have a clear plan to take with you, with practical details organised before you travel.
