A summer family holiday
“All I love researching holidays but with a busy job and 2 young kids, time is precious. The service Sarah provides is outstanding and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She produced some wonderful holiday ideas after listening and understanding what we were looking for which made the choice very simple; but that was only the start. She went above and beyond every step of the way, helping us to navigate ever changing COVID restrictions, organising a wonder itinerary and booking all the restaurants. Our trip was all available through the app and very easy to use. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work Sarah to give us a fantastic set of family memories.

last minute family holiday ON Lake Como
“Nothing was too much trouble for Sarah and the fact we could rely on her expertise and excellent organisation skills meant a holiday at a stressful time in the world turned out to be totally relaxing.
When Covid quarantine rules were imposed on Greece a week before our family was due to go on holiday, I approached Studio Wanderwell to see if they could help plan a last minute trip to Italy. Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful sorting accommodation on beautiful Lake Como.
We didn’t know the area but didn’t want to feel like tourists, so Sarah produced a wonderful itinerary for us including amazing restaurants where on nearly every occasion we were given a top table with stunning views. She even found a trusted babysitter to allow my wife and I to go out alone for the evening - a real treat! Once travel is allowed again, we definitely be using Sarah to plan our next holiday. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
Our favourite moment - ‘the amazing views from Al Veluu restaurant hidden up in the hills above the lake.’

A hOLIDAY WITH FRIENDS IN THE DORDOGNE
“We enlisted Studio Wanderwell’s help in planning a summer vacation to France for us, our daughter and our friends and their children. The logistics of the trip were immense!
We wanted somewhere that was luxury, but also child friendly. Spacious and remote, but also close enough to local towns and restaurants, markets and vineyards. We wanted to be able to relax and not cook every night, but we didn’t want to eat out all the time either, particularly with the kids. Sarah created the perfect holiday at Chateau Lacanaud in the Dordogne – organising everything from a private chef, to a nanny, to wine tastings and taking care of restaurant bookings at the best local eateries. It genuinely was a holiday! Thank you!”
Our favourite memory - ‘wine tasting with Mitch in her cavern in Eymet’

AN Adventure WITH FRIENDS in Colombia
“Thank you again for all of your help planning our trip to Colombia! We are still talking about how it truly was a trip of a lifetime.
I was worried about planning a multi-stop trip for a place we had never been to, but you took the stress away and helped create a wonderful travel experience. I greatly appreciated the communication throughout the planning process, and keeping us organized with clear schedules, local contacts, and all of our documents.
We loved the bespoke tours and off the beaten track locations which made the whole trip so authentic. The accommodations were all wonderful – excellent locations and the right balance of remote, adventurous and luxury. Transportation was coordinated perfectly, and we were happy with all of our flights, trains, and private transfers. The trip was an unforgettable experience! We are all so appreciative of everything you did for us.”
The best moment of the trip - ‘the private dinner on the beach to celebrate our friends’ 30th birthday at the Gitana de Mar hotel and spa’

A ROMANTIC week AWAY in London
“Our goal was to experience the city and sites through food and culture, regardless of whether or not it was on an eater must try list. From the far outskirts of town to the center of the city, each recommendation far surpassed our expectations. We can’t wait to come back!!
We can’t thank Sarah enough for help planning our trip last summer! My husband and I were visiting London for the first time together (but my first time ever) and as a couple of foodies who wanted to experience a local’s view of the city, she nailed it. We stayed in a more hip residential neighborhood at a wonderful boutique hotel, both close to friends who lived there but also walking distance to Buckingham Palace and the main tube stations so we could easily get around. We enjoyed a wide variety of cuisines from Indian to Asian and even local farm to table – all of which were spectacular!”
Highlight of our trip - ‘enjoying a proper English pint at The Grenadier pub, hidden away in a mews of Belgravia’

60th birthday celebration in Lefkada Greece
“I knew from the moment I spoke to Sarah that we were going to have an amazing time!
My husband and I were born 3 months apart so joint “big” birthday celebrations have always been easy for us. But for our 60th birthdays we decided that we would like to have a holiday with our family. Our remit included wanting a villa rather than a hotel so that we could spend quality time with our three grown up children and their families who all lead busy lives, somewhere warm and sunny, a villa close to the beach but with its own pool, and walking distance to restaurants for some evenings and an in house chef for the others-cooking is not my forte least of all on holiday!
Sarah didn’t disappoint! I knew from the moment I spoke to her that we were going to have an amazing time. The result was the most wonderful relaxing week in a very special villa with views to die for over the beautiful Ionian sea! Thank you Sarah-can’t wait to be in touch with you for our 70th!
Highlight of the week - ‘doing absolutely nothing and not having to lift a finger!’
