The peak season months are not yet upon us, and already we’ve received hundreds of reviews. This feedback is invaluable in helping us to keep to the very high standards we set ourselves, and it’s a lovely way to pass on the gratitude that so many of our guests express to our concierge teams. For every completed questionnaire, we are pleased to donate £2 to the charity Together for Short Lives raising over £68,000 to date. Here's some examples of how it’s all going so far:
The Rou Estate, Corfu
"This was our first experience with Simpson Travel and wow did they deliver. We like to think we have high standards, but The Rou Estate exceeded expectations and then some! Everything about it was fantastic and our two week stay there was relaxing and luxurious, even with two small children! A special mention to Gaynor, Jules, Natasha and the team at Rou who were just exceptional in everything they did - from recommendations to providing toys for the children. We are already planning our trip back next year!"

Mousses Villas, Lefkada
"Most relaxed I’ve been since our daughter was born 18 months ago. Felt very safe dropping her off with well-trained nannies, with pool, restaurant and bar next to the Creche to properly unwind. Plenty to do in the villas and in Lefkada with great nearby beaches. Flights, car hire, and accommodation all were great."

Villa Mars, Kalkan
"One word - fabulous! Would not hesitate to recommend Simpson Travel, Kalkan and Villa Mars. Can’t believe we have taken so long to find you but now we have found you we will enjoy exploring other destinations with you. Thank you for a superb family holiday."

Mirabello Bay House, Crete
"A truly wonderful villa – well-appointed and very spacious. Fabulous garden and views. The concierge service provided by Irini was exceptional… her local knowledge and contacts made our holiday like no other, and the local people couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. thank you Simpsons!"

Villa Vereniki, Crete
"As a very seasoned Simpson traveller, I expect wonderful, and you did not disappoint. Villa Vereniki is beautifully located with stunning views from every aspect; comfortable, spacious and all round fabulous."

The Artisan’s House, Crete
"Nikos was AMAZING - he could not have been more helpful & he was totally lovely. As he lived less than 5 minutes away, he was literally on call BUT his service, personality & knowledge of Mochlos was amazing, he booked various restaurants for us & his recommendations were 100%. He MADE our holiday. While the villa was incredible, he made it STUPENDOUS."

Trullo Ashi, Puglia
"We have just enjoyed one of the greatest holidays of our life. Trullo Ashi was absolute bliss - an incredible property, beautiful views, so clean, the pool was a dream, and the location was amazing - so many glorious places to visit nearby. Excellent service from Simpson too - we can't wait to return next year!!!"
Mr Thomas Worsley, May 2024
Rhodia Beach Villa, Ithaca
"Such an enjoyable stay and experience staying at Rhodia. We had our best Simpson holiday ever and every other holiday has been excellent. We were so impressed with Ithaca. It is so beautiful. It has taken Paxos’s place as our new favourite Greek island. The hiking is superb. We enjoyed staying in the Stavros area but loved visiting Vathy on the several occasions that we did so. Our concierge, Judith, was everything one could want from a representative. Always available, ever helpful, amazingly knowledgeable about everything Ithaca and capable of making us feel very welcome and special. We have already placed a deposit to do it all again in 2025!"
Mr Gary Crowther, May 2024
Bella Mare Hotel, Corfu
"Bella Mare is a magical hotel. This was our fourth visit, and we hope there will be many more. Breakfast is a highlight of the day, delicious food and extremely friendly and helpful service. Also, staff at snack bar and lifeguard incredibly friendly and so nice to children."
Mr Paul Hickey, May 2024
Tenuta Fonte, Puglia
"Tenuta Fonte is the most well-appointed, comfortable and beautiful villa we have stayed in with Simpson Travel. (And have stayed in several, all of which have been of a high standard.) Ketty the local rep was amazing throughout our week. She responded quickly and efficiently to every question I asked; recommended restaurants and organised a boat trip. The surrounding area has numerous stunning towns to visit all within a 30 minute drive and many beach clubs. We had an amazing week in the villa and will definitely be returning."
Mrs Charlotte Morgan, June 2024
Alzitella, Corsica
"Were this property a wine, we'd be giving it 5/5 on Vivino. Stunning view and facilities. Simpson Travel are clearly on top of their game in this area, would use them again."
Sands Family, June 2024
White Orchid Hotel, Sivota
"It was our second visit to the White Orchid and we were welcomed back like old friends by Herm, Vivien and Vasiliki. This hotel is just perfect in every single way for a week of total luxury and relaxation."
Janet Lea, May 2024
Villa Angela, Mallorca
"Villa Angela is amazing, it has every modern convenience that you require, yet still maintains the original character and feel. The pool and gardens are amazing, wonderful position, couldn’t fault anything, perfect way to celebrate our Ruby wedding anniversary."
Mrs Elizabeth McDonald, June 2024
Apothikes Beach Suites, Crete
"Apothikes Beach Suites were set in an absolutely perfect location, which made for a truly memorable holiday, waking up to the sound of the sea, and the sun on the water. Our rep Vasilis was an absolute joy. The friendliest & cheeriest person you could ever wish to meet. He greeted us with chilled bottles of water, escorted us to our taxi, & helped us with our damaged suitcases, supplying us with a cleaner, as well as a plug in mosquito repellent. Vasilis is an absolute credit to Simpson Travel, the most superb rep we have ever met."
