Bella Vita Travels

Tailor-made Mediterranean Travel Experiences

WHO WE ARE

Get to Know Us

Ciao!

we are Mediterranean travel experts

Bella Vita Travels’ Mediterranean Travel Experts has worked in the travel and hospitality industries for decades. We have an insatiable desire for travel and to deliver extraordinary Mediterranean travel experiences for our clients to enjoy. We constantly visit the places we send our clients and we have built decades worth of relationships and expertise over those years.

Our Difference

What distinguishes Bella Vita Travels from traditional travel agencies: first, our ability to create 100% custom itineraries including accommodations, guides, drivers, and experiences. Secondly, these itineraries are based around your travel preferences and our first-hand experiences and knowledge. Thirdly, we have developed a vast network of partners in the destinations we send clients. Additionally, we form our own opinions based solely on-location research. And last but not least, we work with partners who provide the only highest standard of quality and service. We are quintessentially Mediterranean travel experts.

How it all began

Megan McCaffrey-Guerrera, founder of Bella Vita Travels, made her first visit to Europe with her parents at age 13. it was love at first visit. While sitting in a cafe in Saint Mark’s Square in Venice, she proclaimed that she would live in Europe someday. And so, a few decades and over a dozen trips to later, Megan pursued her dream. She bought a one-way ticket to Italy.

The business started out as a “travel concierge” service. While working at a B&B, Megan helped friends, family and guests organize their precious travel time in Italy. It wasn’t long before Megan realized she had a knack for planning unforgettable, custom vacations. As a result, she founded Bella Vita Italia in 2004. In her first year, she arranged 22 Italian vacations and never looked back. Over the years and after many requests from happy clients, Bella Vita extended beyond Italy. Gradually, Bella Vita expanded into France, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Croatia. Since then, the Bella Vita team has grown to 5 principal Mediterranean travel experts. The team continually travels the region in search of new gems and travel experiences to provide clients.

Meet the Team

Our luxury travel specialists are at the heart of your custom vacation.  Our Italian-based team has traveled extensively through the region to research and hand-select the finest destinations and experiences for you.
