Third island visited in the Ionian Sea - Lefkas, Meganisi and Paxos, all with Simpson Travel! Meganisi and Paxos are similar, small islands with pretty bays and good cafés/restaurants. On Paxos we visited Mongonisi, Monodendri, Loggos and Lakka, with most evening meals taken in Gaios. Beaches at Mongonisi and Lakka are sandy but it's good to have beach shoes. Villa Flora is very good, with splendid views and friendly help from Simpson staff.
Superb! Great villa, superb pool. Simpson's support and guidance perfect every time! Give the boats a go - not expensive and the view from the sea transform the holiday with great bars and restaurants easy to get to all round the island. Don't miss the caves on the south side. Go for a smaller car hire and be careful driving - the slower, the better. Back again next year - this is such a great place and lovely island. We may try June or September when it is a little quieter and not too hot.
Fabulous holiday on a beautiful island. Great service from Simpsons from booking til the flight home. Chris the rep on the island was great so friendly and effective nothing too much trouble. Views from the villa were amazing and the pool is one of the best we’ve had on a villa holiday. All in all wonderful holiday and will definitely use Simpsons again
Absolutely fantastic villa. Plenty of space for mix of family. Easy to walk into Gaios and coves to swim. Would highly recommend Villa Flora
Great service from Simpson Travel from initial holiday inquiry, through to booking and making changes to the holiday, and then finally arriving in Paxos. All the staff at all the stages were helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. When there was a problem with the return ferry, this was fixed seamlessly without any issue for us, making the whole thing less stressful. Not so much for those who weren't with Simpson Travel and who had a nightmare rebooking a ferry. Frances at Paxos Port should get a medal. Chris our concierge was easy to get hold of and super helpful organising a taxi and providing advice on activities etc.
Villa Flora, is a beautiful villa, in an excellent hilltop position, amazing views. Rustic, but beautifully cared for with comfortable and pretty interior furniture. Lovely outside eating, reading and relaxing areas. Perfect for those wanting a family holiday with great communal space alongside independent accommodation. Pool beautiful, House x3 weekly deep clean by Eleni, very special. Would recommend this Villa. Watch out there really is no WI-FI so we took a dongle which worked well.
A wonderful stay in beautiful Paxos. We loved the Paxos Beach Hotel and had a wonderful boat trip. So many lovely coves to swim in. Also, really enjoyed the beaches at Loggos. Thank you.
What a beautiful island! A highlight was a boat trip round the island and swimming in secluded bays. Every meal we had was good. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Villa Flora was a perfect villa for us and our three children (in their 20s) offering plenty of space so that we all got our space! All the rooms are large, with their own shower rooms and we offered our girls the main house, my son the studio and we had our own little annexe...perfect! The view over the coast is spectacular...the sun rises at about 8.20am, so I always had breakfast in the same spot (just me as everyone else was asleep!). And then a quick dip in the pool and onto my sun lounger and its only 9am! 15-minute walk to Gaios, 3-minutes to The Paxos Beach Hotel and a 30-minute walk to the bars at Mongonisi...What's not to like?
Thank you for a wonderful holiday at Villa Flora, it has been truly relaxing.
Year after year we continue to receive excellent service from Simpson Travel. Superb villas, knowledgeable and friendly local reps, and the feeling that any issues will receive immediate and positive attention. We love the Greek islands and it is very reassuring to know that Simpson Travel has been grown from someone else's passion and respect for the islands and Greek people. We will be back. Thank you.
Villa Flora – superb location, amazing outdoor space and an extremely comfortable villa. Whilst the interior of this villa is lovely, it’s the outdoor space and pool area that gives it five stars. Pool is beautiful in size and the views added to two stunning dining areas, both with unbelievable views. It’s only a 5-minute drive from Gaios, so enjoying the lovely harbour is so easy. Will be back.
A fabulous villa for a family with adult children. It gave us all the opportunity to have our own space. The situation, view and pool area were all perfect. A beautiful island and so easy to explore.
We had a lovely time here in Paxos and Villa Flora has been perfect!
Been to Paxos many times, but this is by far one of the best villas we have stayed in. It has a lovely view of the mountains and also watching the beautiful yachts coming into Paxos. Loved the large pool and dining area – amazing, especially when friends came around for dinner in the evening. Thank you, Simpson Travel, for a lovely holiday.
Had a wonderful time at Villa Flora – wonderful view and lovely relaxing outside space. Paxos is probably the most beautiful place we have travelled to. All the little beaches along the coastline are gorgeous – renting a boat is a definite must! The restaurants are all lovely and welcoming – if you fancy a night in, the takeaway pizza at Il Primo in Gaios is yummy! Simon was so helpful and we appreciated him checking on us. Lakka and Loggos are smaller villages and it’s nice to get away and spend a quiet night there. People and boat watching over a drink at the harbour is wonderful. Thank you again for a lovely holiday.
Simon, the Simpson Travel rep, was excellent. Always on hand to deal with issues that arose during our stay. All in all, we had a lovely holiday!
We enjoyed our holiday immensely – the villa was glorious and so was the weather on lovely Paxos. I must say that I think your representatives are superb – present when and where you need them, friendly, helpful and very efficient. The whole thing was seamless.
Villa Flora in Paxos was a beautiful villa with wonderful views and outside terrace for barbecue-ing, entertaining, sunbathing and shade. Separate accommodation for teenagers was welcome. All beds were comfortable and air conditioning effective. Pool was beautiful and clean. Excellent tavernas nearby and a 15-minute walk to Gaios. Would highly recommend Simpson Travel.
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.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
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.
