What we do

Private journeys. Corporate occasions.

Most of what we do falls into one of two briefs. Both are built the same way: a real conversation first, a considered plan second, and one person accountable throughout.

For private clients

Private travel

Journeys for families, couples and small groups who would rather see three things properly than nine things in passing. We shape the route around your pace, choose the stays that suit how you actually travel, and remove the logistics from view.

"One signature experience a day. Afternoons left open. The car at the door, and no one looking at a watch." How a Bonavelle itinerary is written

One host, one number

The person who designs your journey is the person who runs it. No handover to an operations desk, no chain of intermediaries.

Fewer, better

One considered experience a day, with the afternoon left open. Full schedules look impressive on paper and rarely survive contact with a real trip.

Graceful logistics

Door-to-door transfers, two or three bases instead of six, luggage handled at every station. The effort stays on our side of the line.

Local handling

Our own guides, drivers and suppliers — people we work with weekly, not names from a directory. That is what makes a plan hold on the day.

Sample journeys

What a Bonavelle plan looks like

Three illustrative outlines, not fixed packages. Every journey is written from scratch — these show the pacing, the routing and the level of handling you can expect.

Sample journey

Spain · 9 days · 4 travellers

Barcelona, Madrid and Andalusia

Three bases, two first-class rail journeys, one principal visit a day. A privately guided Gaudí visit timed away from the busiest hours, Toledo approached by car from the viewpoint, and three nights in Seville with a full day left deliberately empty.

Private guides · Mercedes V-Class throughout · five-star stays

Sample journey

Italy · 8 days · 2 travellers

Florence, Tuscany and the lakes

City first, then slower country. A restored villa outside Florence, a long cellar lunch at a family estate, and a final stretch on Lake Como where the only fixed point is dinner.

Long lunches · driver on call · no early starts

Sample programme

Incentive · 4 days · 40 guests

An executive programme in Barcelona

A single hotel as the base, a working morning with a proper room and proper coffee, and afternoons that earn the trip: a private modernist interior, a coastal sail, and a closing dinner in a courtyard.

Where we operate

Two countries, and the judgement to route them

We keep the footprint narrow on purpose. Knowing a country well is less about the list of places and more about the order you put them in, the week you go, and which stay actually suits the group in front of you.

Spain · Our home ground

Spain

Where Bonavelle is based and operates directly — which Barcelona hotel suits a family and which suits a board, when Andalusia is too hot to enjoy, and how to reach Toledo without a climb.

Barcelona · Madrid · Seville · Granada · Toledo · Mallorca · Costa Brava

Italy · Under our direction

Italy

Delivered through long-standing local partners under Bonavelle's direction and held to the same operating standard. Strongest where a city pairs with somewhere slower.

Rome · Florence · Tuscany · Amalfi Coast · Lake Como · Venice · Milan

How it works

From first conversation to farewell dinner

The conversation

A call to understand who is travelling, how you like to travel, and what would make the trip a good one for you specifically.

The design

A day-by-day proposal with stays, pacing and inclusions — followed by a full quotation once the shape is agreed.

The details

We hold the hotels and secure guides, access and tables. You receive one clear document and one contact.

On the ground

Your host is reachable throughout and present where it matters. Every transfer, ticket and reservation is already handled.

About Bonavelle

A small company, deliberately.

Bonavelle is led by Abbas Vaghefi, who has spent more than fifteen years in travel and events — leading two travel companies and co-founding a corporate events platform before basing himself in Barcelona.

The company was built around one conviction: that the difference between a good trip and a well-run one is almost never the itinerary. It is who answers the phone at nine on a Sunday, and whether the person who promised the table actually knows the restaurant.

That means working with international clients on their own terms — understanding the expectations of international families, Gulf executives and European agency partners, and meeting them with people on the ground in Spain and Italy rather than instructions sent from a distance.
