What Makes Us Different

Choose the travel style that matches your rhythm — from guided adventures to private insider events.

Our Story

Founded by Stephanie Mutsaers, a Canadian-born explorer whose life has been shaped by travel, gastronomy, cultural curiosity and climbing adventures around the world.
During a trip to Northern Spain she discovered more than landscapes, she found people, traditions, flavors, stories. She fell in love with the region and decided to build a company that could share that love with others.

Today, her son Oliver carries on the legacy with the same spirit, blending familial warmth, broad experience, professionalism and a deep commitment to meaningful travel.

Together, they represent a vision where travel is not about ticking boxes. It’s about connecting hearts and cultures, discovering hidden gems, and building stories that stay with you forever.

Our Definition of Luxury

Luxury is attention to detail, authenticity, warmth, personalization.
It’s a hand-picked boutique hotel. A meal shared with a generational chef. A quiet village road walked with locals.
Luxury is real, humble, human, soulful. It’s not for the crowd,  it’s for those who appreciate depth, quality and connection.

People First — The Heart and Soul of Every Trip

We believe that the essence of a destination lies in the people who build it: chefs, winemakers, artisans, artists, storytellers.
When you travel with us, you don’t just see the region — you meet those who shape it. You share meals in family-run restaurants, visit local wineries, discover hidden villages with passionate guides. Those human connections — that’s where the magic happens.

Real Immersion — Beyond Standard Tourism

We avoid the crowds and the mass-tourism paths. Instead, we design tailor-made journeys that immerse you deeply into the territory:
boutique hotels, authentic gastronomy, off-the-beaten-path experiences, regional culture.
You don’t just visit Northern Spain — you live it.

Flawless Execution — We Handle Everything

From the moment you contact us until you return home, we manage every detail: accommodation, transport, logistics, luggage, guides, experiences.
You travel with confidence, knowing every step has been taken care of.
