Villa Moundela sits in 1.5 acres of quiet countryside, with delightful views across the sea to Anti Paxos. Secluded but not isolated, it’s just a 10-minute meander to the characterful hamlet of Ozias, where you can enjoy a drink, traditional mezze and a slice of real Greek life at its one small kafenion. Whilst a further 20-minute walk to the harbour village of Gaios you’ll find a wider choice of restaurants, boat hire and a pleasantly lively buzz in summer.

The has been our first stay at Moundela and Paxos, but won't be our last - indeed we booked for 2025 whilst out here! What a charming, thoughtfully stocked and beautifully maintained villa, with simply the most wonderful view. We also loved feeding the turtle "Geoffrey", as named by our children. All in all a wonderful week away.

The Kennaughs, June 2024

Moundela is a beautiful, well appointed villa with a fabulous pool in a stunning location.. the view is amazing. We did see Paxos which is a delightfully charming island but if rest and relaxation is what you are looking for Moundela ticks all the boxes - utterly peaceful . We will be back. Thank you Simpson Team for finding such a magical place for us.

Mrs Gail Woodhouse, June 2024

Location perfect, villa perfect, pool perfect. View to die for. Our first visit to Paxos, it is beautiful, warm and the people are delightful. We have had a perfect holiday in amazing place and will be back- booked for 2025! Thank you to the Simpson team.

The Woodhouses, June 2024

This has been our second time at Moundela so feel very fortunate indeed. It remains lovely as always. We have enjoyed visiting Paxos a little earlier in the year for a change with comfortable temperatures and no need for A/C! This place is quite a tonic and we are sad to leave once again but you have to leave a place to be able to return to it - hopefully we will!

Lisa & Dixie, May 2024

A wonderful holiday, meticulously and thoughtfully organised by the Simpson team. This was our first time booking through Simpson, but we have already booked again for next year!

Mr Gregory Kennaugh, May 2024

Villa Moundela is amazing, we were totally spoilt. Paxos is just as lovely as we remembered from 14 years prior, albeit slightly busier than we remembered, but still a wonderful island, and locals are truly lovely. Thanks Simpson Travel for a fabulous break that we needed.

Mrs Esther Woodhouse, October 2023

Wow! We have been spoilt! Moundela worked its magic – thank you Markos – amazing host. We have been visiting Paxos for many years and each time wonder if we should try somewhere different – and each time we say, “let’s go back”! Truly an amazing villa – so peaceful and tranquil – we will return.

Greg, Helen and Victoria, September 2023

Our wonderful sanctuary. We first came here years ago, returning now for another visit. Simply wonderful. A huge thank you to Lilly and Simpson Travel. As always, we can’t wait to return.

The Wilkinson family, August 2023

Our first visit to Moundela and Paxos was 5 years ago with our young family, this was our third visit and our feelings remain the same - simply wonderful. A key recommendation is to hire a RIB and a skipper for the day to take you around the whole of Paxos and Anti Paxos to experience the incredible cliffs and caves of the west coast and to stop off at any of the beaches (only accessible by boat) to swim in the stunning waters. The skipper will stop wherever you would like to have lunch (we recommend one of the tavernas on Anti Paxos) or even for just a coffee. Paxos is just as stunning from the water. It was delightful to meet Lilly, the concierge who was born and bred on Paxos, she was brilliantly helpful. Thanks you Simpson for another great trip.

Natalie, July 2023

Once again another fantastic holiday booked through Simpson Travel. You never disappoint. World Class service and attention to detail is what we want and it’s what you delivered. Thank you again for making our holiday so stress free. We will babe booking shorty for next year to make some more lifetime memories.

Paul Martin, July 2023

What an amazing place to stay! The most beautiful villa, and the owner Marcos is very helpful, as were all the Simpson staff. Lots of lovely places to visit. Go to Loggos and have lunch at the beach.

John and Fiona, June 2023

Our 5th visit to wonderful Paxos, but our first time at Villa Moundela. What a find! The villa and setting is truly superb with fantastic views and a perfect Mediterranean garden that supplied us with both black and white mulberries for breakfast.

Charles and Carol, June 2023

Steve and I have just returned from the most restorative, restful and wonderful week at Villa Moundela, Paxos. The journey from the UK and back was seamless and beautifully supported by the lovely Simpson team. The 4x4 Daccia Duster was very much appreciated due to Moundela's situation. Upon arrival at the villa we were met with the stunning view of Anti-Paxos and the sea! We continued to marvel at that same view plus all of the beauty of the garden and outside space on a daily basis. The green and verdant garden and surrounding area of the villa perfectly compliment the peace and tranquility that we soaked in as we enjoyed the villa. The wildlife and birdsong that we witnessed was a daily joy - we loved seeing the fireflies dancing around the garden each evening! The villa was perfect both inside and out.

Pippa Higgins, May 2023

We booked this holiday in Paxos around three years ago. For evident reasons it has been through multiple postponements and changes. In spite of the fact that it must have been a nightmare for Simpsons dealing with the changes for all their clients, their staff have been unfailingly quick, helpful and efficient. The Simpson's staff on the ground were excellent as always. It was great being back in Paxos for the tenth time, although perhaps it appeared rather less 'laid-back' than previously.

Tony Orchard, July 2022

Beautiful location, can't be faulted. Paxos has definitely become busier over the years but Moundela has been our sanctuary, with wonderful views, starlit skies at night, lovely grounds and flora and fauna. Comfortable villa, clean, well looked after and so spacious. Thank you for a truly wonderful holiday. Hopefully we will be back next year for more of the same.

Lisa & Dixie, June 2022

An amazing villa that we are sure we will be back to visit many more times. It is idyllic, beautiful views and just delightful in the evening. In fact so nice that we hardly went out in the evenings.

Niel Emmott, June 2022

We return at last to this little oasis that has captured our hearts. Still so beautiful, so tranquil, so hard to leave.

Jo and Jonathan, May 2022

We have used Simpson Travel for many years and knew they were a great company but they really did excel when unfortunately on a recent holiday I was taken ill. Seamless efficiency, attentiveness and nothing is too much trouble came into effect from the staff on Paxos looking after us and arranging our early return home. This is a really good reason why choosing a great company like Simpson to travel with is a wise choice, aside from the fact they have a great range of properties and places to stay. We look forward to travelling with them many more times in the future.

Liz Bowe – via TrustPilot, August 2021

Another amazing holiday thanks to Simpson Travel. Villa Moundela was everything that we expected – peaceful, secluded, tastefully decorated with amazing views. I would never visit Greece with any other company!

Lucy, Annie, Lawrence & Simon, August 2019

Third year running on Paxos – which remains fabbo. First time at Moundela – absolute top notch villa. An almost perfect holiday villa. Not quite sure how we could improve it – but must be some way? Enjoy!

Andrew & Fiona, August 2019

This is certainly the most comfortable and best built villa we have been to. All in all a great place, it is a fantastic location to do absolutely nothing, which is what we like to do!

Tony & Inga, July 2019

We have had the best holiday ever. This is our fifth holiday in Paxos and Moundela is our favourite villa. The views speak for themselves. Dora, the housekeeper, is lovely and understands English. Thank you Marco and Emily for letting us stay and thanks to the Simpson team, especially Stuart. We will be back!

John, Ann & Margaret, June 2019

We really enjoyed staying in this beautifully appointed villa with its wonderful views and gardens and outstanding cleaner! Thank you Stuart, Emily and Markos for all your efforts to make this a wonderful holiday.

Gill & Andrew, May 2019

No shopkeeper or café owner was pushy which is a welcome change from other places. We can’t rate this villa or housekeeping highly enough. We certainly have plans to return before too long. Thank you Emily for letting us share your lovely villa.

Paul & Erica, May 2019

Moundela is in a truly stunning place in every way. This was our first holiday with Simpson Travel and will certainly not be our last. If customer service is important to you, then look no further as Graham Simpson and his team certainly have this as a priority.

Graham, Kay & Kit, July 2018

We loved booking the holiday with Simpson Travel, everything from the website design and easy navigation when we first started looking, to how helpful the staff were on the phone and on the ground. We cannot express our thanks enough to Markos, the owner of Villa Moundela, who had some great recommendations and has built a beautiful home for other people to enjoy. Thank you to everyone. We will be back!

Family Anoyrkatis, July 2018

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Barely eight miles from tip to tail, Paxos is pint-sized perfection. The only way to get here is by boat from Corfu, which rules out mass development and makes room for a true luxury villa holiday experience. Beloved by the boating crowd, there's a definite buzz in the main summer months and an excellent choice of restaurants that cater for visiting flotilla.

There are few better ways of relaxing than on a luxury holiday in Paxos, where days fill up beautifully with sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and dining in style, the sea just metres from your table. Amble through ancient olive groves and you’ll catch glimpses of startlingly turquoise bays, the dramatic west-coast cliffs or the Epiros Mountains. In spring, there’s also a haze of purple honesty, wild irises and lilies and a sky that’s alive with birdlife, from hawks to skylarks.

Complete the picture with a stay in one of our handpicked luxury villas or our unique Adult Only Simpson Hotels and make the most of this peaceful island.
