Our overseas team

Offering the warmest of welcomes, inspired advice on things to do and plenty of creative problem solving, our overseas team are at the heart of the Simpson Travel experience, so it’s little surprise that, when our guests review their holidays, they make a point of telling us how our local representatives bring something extra special to their time away. And here are three very simple reasons why…

Your personal point of contact

In Corsica, Greece, Mallorca and Turkey, our overseas representatives can pop by in person to make sure you’ve settled in and are on hand whenever you need them throughout your stay. Never intrusive, always accessible, if you have a question or a problem, they’ll do their best to find the answer.

In France and Italy, where villas are spread across a wide area, our team is only ever a text or phone call away, and our villa owners sometimes step in too, sharing their home-grown vegetables with the same generosity as their local knowledge. And if you stay in any of our Simpson Hotels, our charming and experienced managers and Concierges embody the personal service that lies at the heart of this inspiring collection.

A wealth of local knowledge

Many of our representatives have lived in our destinations for decades. They fell in love with the beautiful coastlines and unspoilt towns and villages and now welcome our guests with open arms to experience them for themselves. Just like many of our villa and hotel owners and housekeepers in France and Italy, they have a wealth of local knowledge to help you find your way around and make the most of every moment.

Help when you need it

Life isn't always plain sailing: bags get lost, power cuts happen and not knowing the local language can pose a few problems. That’s when our overseas team come into their own. As your first port of call, they'll help get your holiday back on track, with resourcefulness, efficiency and warm-heartedness that's all in a day's work.

Quotes

  • The villas are always in great locations and very high standard, but the big difference is the personal service from the local representatives. It’s like having your own PA to book and organise restaurants, boat trips, tours etc. Need an extra parasol? One arrives within the hour. WiFi not strong enough in a bedroom? A man turns up that day with a booster to fix the range.

    Mr Benjamin Mann, Villa Zarif, Kalkan

  • We had such a fantastic time in Mallorca. I had never spent this much on a holiday before, preferring to sort out the components myself and travel on a budget. But we’ve been really busy, and this year decided to outsource the planning to Simpson Travel. It was so worth it. Everything was sorted out for us with minimal fuss. Arrival at the airport and care hire experience in particular was outstanding, a world away from the usual car rental desk nightmare. The villa was beautiful, quiet, private and family friendly. Its location was ideal for visiting beautiful beaches and towns. The local information was really helpful. The owner of the villa was also lovely, and came early every morning to maintain the pool so it was beautifully clear. Overall a great and really relaxing holiday experience. I’m now a convert!

  • Our stay quite simply at the White Orchid exceeded our expectations. The location, quality of accommodation and attention to detail was exactly what we wished for and Simpson Travel delivered. The recommended local service and advice was very helpful and useful, from local walks to private speedboat trips to Paxos. Local knowledge was key and the staff met all our needs - including where to get my haircut at a local barbers!

    Mr Peter Nangle, White Orchid, Sivota

  • Mochlos is such a charming place and waking up to the beautiful view each morning was just perfect. However, Sofia and Nikos were the icing on the cake! Sofia's breakfasts were delicious, and she looked after us so well. Nikos was an absolute star too making the best recommendations and helping with all our table reservations. It was like having a local friend who knew all the best places. Thank you Nikos and Sofia for making our time so enjoyable.
