Simpson Travel Reviews 

Trapezaki Blue was a great villa in a pleasant location with a choice of multiple restaurants within 1 mile. The area was uncrowded and the beaches were all pleasant but the villa pool was also very useful for cooling off/exercising. Karen our Simpson Rep was excellent and very attentive/helpful - even for the smallest questions. Highly recommended.

Have just returned from a week at The Saints, Nisaki, Corfu. Our favourite destination. Simpsons staff take care of you from meeting at the airport to helping at the hire car depot. Then when arriving at the accommodation met by a concierge, Debbie, who showed us our fantastic 'cottage' and pool. There is an on site office, staffed every day. Debbie will arrange anything from restaurant recommendations and booking to replacing remote control batteries and supplying extra coffee pods for the new coffee machine.
We felt like we had a friend holding our hands throughout.
It is Debbie's first year, replacing Debbie (1) who was also a priceless gem.
Please keep up the standards and you will continue to get repeat customers like us . This is the secret of a successful, caring company. Well done all. Regards Mike and Jen Handley

We recently stayed at Farmhouse Bourisis through Simpsons Travel and had a wonderful holiday.

The farmhouse is in a peaceful rural location, offering a real sense of tranquillity and privacy. One of the highlights was being able to walk into Fiskardo through the beautiful pine forest, which was a lovely experience. I would recommend wearing trainers or suitable walking shoes for the route, as some sections can be uneven.

Stephanie looked after us exceptionally well throughout our stay. She was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, providing excellent recommendations and helpful advice that enhanced our holiday.

Overall, Simpsons Travel delivered another excellent experience, and we would happily recommend both Farmhouse Bourisis and the Simpsons Travel team to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Kefalonia.

Fantastic holiday with Simpson Travel to Ithica and will certainly travel with them again. Seamless connections from plane to taxi to boat taxi to hire car. Rep Judith was really helpful with information about island and any queries we had. Villa was beautiful. Many of our fellow travellers had used them before and had nothing but praise for Simpson Travel.

Just back from a week at Rou Estate in Corfu and had a fabulous time. The accommodation was spot on & we were very well looked after by Gaynor & Jules who answered all our questions straight away. Great recommendations from them for restaurants to try as well. Lovely little spa area & had a great massage with Vanda, left feeling very relaxed. Will definitely be booking again !

Wonderful company to work with, who are fantastic with my clients as well as myself as a travel agent. Hugely supportive both in resort and in the UK. Karen in Kefalonia was wonderful with my clients, villa was lovely and the clients had everything they needed.

We enjoyed a wonderful seven-day holiday in Kefalonia organised by Simpsons Travel, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Kefalonia is a stunning island with an incredible variety of scenery, from the breathtaking Myrtos Beach and the crystal-clear waters of Antisamos Beach to the spectacular Melissani Cave and the charming harbour village of Fiskardo. Every day offered something new to discover, whether relaxing on beautiful beaches, exploring traditional villages, or enjoying the island’s excellent food and hospitality.

A special mention must go to Karen, our exceptional Simpsons Travel host. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to help. Her recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try were consistently excellent and really enhanced our holiday. Karen also arranged a fantastic olive oil tasting experience, which provided a fascinating insight into local production and culture and became one of the highlights of our trip.

Our accommodation at Villa Natura was outstanding. The villa is set in an idyllic and peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful scenery and offering complete relaxation. The facilities were excellent throughout, with a wonderful swimming pool that was perfect for cooling off and enjoying the sunshine. The bedrooms were exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring the island.

The combination of a beautiful destination, superb accommodation, and outstanding service from Simpsons Travel made this a truly memorable holiday. We would not hesitate to book with Simpsons Travel again and highly recommend both Kefalonia and Villa Natura to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable Greek island escape.

Title: Casa das Rochas, Loulé — unacceptable villa and dismissive response from Simpson Travel
Our stay at Casa das Rochas, Loulé, Portugal was one of the most disappointing holidays we’ve ever had. The villa was nowhere near the standard Simpson Travel advertises, and their repeated, copy‑and‑paste replies — subtly blaming us for issues caused by their own lack of checks — were extremely frustrating.
Key issues:
Two years of roadworks along the 2–3 mile approach to the villa, with constant noise, dust, potholes and raised manhole covers. We were repeatedly blocked in, including on departure morning at 6am when we had to move barriers ourselves.
Villa not ready until 5pm because the owner refused to leave until noon. Cleaners then had to deal with his mess and paint all over the floors from a roof problem.
Unhygienic toilets with thick, stained calcium and faecal deposits.
Fridge issues — one full of the owner’s food, the other left on maximum so all our fresh groceries spoiled.
Owner’s belongings everywhere — used toiletries in every bathroom, cupboards full of out‑of‑date food, oils and spices, and opened bottles of alcohol with a note telling us to “replace what we use”.
The villa felt less like a holiday rental and more like we were staying in an elderly relative’s home that hadn’t been cleaned or cleared out for years. It genuinely felt as though we were sharing accommodation with the owner.
Simpson Travel’s final offer — 5% off restricted villas — was not a meaningful gesture. We will not be travelling with them again.

Our stay at Villa Alessi in Lefkada was nothing short of exceptional. The villa is beautifully appointed, offering generous space for our group of three families while still providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy their own space. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, making it easy to cater for large family meals and enjoy evenings together.

One of the villa's standout features is its stunning position. We were treated to spectacular sunrises and sunsets every day, with sunshine bathing the villa from 6am through until 8pm. The outdoor space was perfect for barbecues, family gatherings, and simply unwinding while taking in the breathtaking views. The pool was ideal for our younger children, providing a safe and enjoyable environment where they could spend hours having fun.

What truly elevated our holiday, however, was the outstanding service provided by Hazel, our Simpson Travel representative. Hazel was simply superb from start to finish. Her local knowledge and recommendations for beaches, restaurants, and shopping were invaluable, helping us make the most of our time in Lefkada. She even arranged a wonderful evening meal for us, fully prepared and ready to enjoy at the villa.

Hazel's attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency in responding to any questions or requests were among the very best we have experienced from any holiday representative. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her warm, friendly approach made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay.

Villa Alessi is a wonderful property, but Hazel's exceptional support made our holiday truly memorable. She is an absolute asset to Simpson Travel and someone they should be incredibly proud to have on their team. We cannot thank her enough for helping create such a special family holiday.

We would return in a heartbeat.

We had an exceptional villa holiday in Kefalonia with Simpson Travel. Knowledgable and attentive service at the time of booking, a helpful App for all our relevant holiday information, excellent pre-departure service and a magnificent villa which was topped-off by superb support and advice from the in-resort concierge Stephanie. Overall the experience and holiday exceeded all our hopes and expectations. Having had many villa holidays with a multitude of different companies our first experience of using Simpson Travel set a new high for excellence and satisfaction.

We had a fabulous stay in Crete at the Arosmari Hotel. The sun was shining and we were fortunate enough to see the snow on the tops of the mountains as a constant backdrop to Vamos in spring - simply stunning. Joanne and the Simpson team couldn’t have been more helpful with suggested things to do and best places to eat! We’ll definitely be back!! Ryan

Simply perfect. The White Orchid is in the most tranquil location. The views are glorious. Davide and Chrisa are exceptional hosts, providing a delicious, beautifully presented breakfast each morning. A short stroll takes you to a secluded beach and a brief walk takes you to the pretty marina of Sivota. The White Orchid is a tiny hotel, and each room has a small kitchen, living area and a balcony with breathtaking views over to Paxos. For us, this is the perfect hotel. There’s even a well stocked honesty bar. Heaven - don’t want to go home!

We have holidayed with Simpson Travel multiple times and never had less than a fantastic experience. I'd give a special mention to Zois and his wonderful team at Mousses Villas on Lefkada, but trips to other destinations in Greece, Turkey and Italy have been equally successful - we are always so well looked after and the properties are consistently superb.

Jonathan Peat is outstanding and a real asset to Simpson Travel - thank you Jonathan for a fabulous week walking in Corfu

We rented a villa from Simpson in Pollenca port.
The following issues arose:
- Indoor oven didn’t work
- Outdoor stove didn’t work
- Coffee machine didn’t work
- Indoor hob unfathomable from instructions
- Bird poo around and in pool
- Gate temperamental
- They couldn’t give us the address of the villa
- Generally damp and cold

It was clear that no one had inspected the place ahead our visit.
Simpson describe themselves as high-end. We expected high quality; it was far from that.
UPDATE FOR MARK: I have not heard from your people. Please give me your email address.

We had a wonderful week at Arosmari Village Hotel in Vamos, Crete. Superb walking lead by Jonathan Peat. Our cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. We swam every morning in the beautiful pool among the olive trees. Joanne is a star and took great care of us all.

We had a wonderful holiday with Simpson Travel. The customer service was exemplary, and the concierge made everything smooth and stress-free. Our villa was beautiful, well-equipped, and very comfortable. I would highly recommend them for a relaxing, well-supported holiday!

We have been travelling with Simpsons for years and have never had even a mediocre experience, never mind bad.
Highly recommended all the way, wonderful concierge and customer service and local support on the ground.
Absolutely faultless

We’ve now travelled with Simpson Travel several times — staying in Kalkan, Corsica and Lefkada — and every single trip has been absolutely fabulous.

From the moment you book, everything just feels easy and well organised. The booking team are helpful and knowledgeable, and once you arrive the concierge service is brilliant — always friendly, always on hand if you need anything, they always answer the phone too when we have called to ask a question.

The villas themselves have been exceptional every time. Beautiful locations, spotless, incredibly well equipped and clearly chosen with care. You really feel like you’re staying somewhere special rather than just a standard rental.

Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend them to anyone . A***

Called to make a booking on a property for this summer and asked if I could hold the week for 24 hours, I was told if I didn't book their and then not to bother. I found the customer service the worst - why did they need my money so urgently?
