Villa Testimonials
"Villa Sevdam and its location is the loveliest place we have visited. A little part of paradise! Our purpose was to relax and enjoy ourselves and that is what we achieved here in Söğüt. We experienced great hospitality and lovely meals at each of the restaurants we ate at. Mehmet’s, Eruti, Deniz Rizi, Captain’s Table, Nautilus and Saranda. An idyllic place to be at. Jessica’s assistance and response throughout our stay was immediate and always helpful. Housekeeping and fresh bread daily. Wonderful Villa Sevdam – sad to be leaving. We will come again. Loved the vase with fresh flowers."
" We have been so lucky to stay in the wonderful Villa Mimi! Our grateful thanks to our hosts in opening the villa especially for our visit – we are truly thankful and we will never forget the most spectacular views we have ever encountered on our travels and holidays to Greece. The villa is stunning and luxurious in every way and we have enjoyed the pool. Our boat trip around the island was a particular highlight, the caves and the lovely lunch at Spilia beach. We have enjoyed delicious food and our favourite has been Tilevoes where we ate amazing seafood many times. Meganissi was very quiet when we arrived but we are so pleased that visitors are returning to experience the beauty of the island and the welcome of the people here. Thank you for a memorable holiday."
"Having rented in France and Italy every summer for over 20 years, this was our first booking with Simpson Travel and I was very impressed – particularly given all the Covid-19 complications. The family said Hameau des Anges was the best and they would love to go back, which is high praise from quite a ‘picky’ group! Vaucluse has always been one of my favourite areas and the house was a perfect base as everyone could do as much – or as little – as they wanted! So the energetic went to vineyards, markets and cycled for miles, while others made the most of the pool and garden."
"This is just the loveliest villa we have ever stayed in. We loved trulli living and the circular pool. We also loved exploring and would recommend Alberobello, Locorotondo, Ostuni, Martina Franca and dinner out in Monopoli and Polignano A Mare. Apparently Puglia means ‘land with little rain’ but we managed to get two days of rain. We escaped it one day and travelled to Matera, which is very lovely and interesting. We shall be back – thank you."
"We are the luckiest people in Panzano! To be the first to stay in this amazing home in this magical village will be our eternal delight! This will be the first of many visits to see Panzano again but more to see Christine, John, Leandra, Lorenzo, Dario…and all of the amazing people of the village that made us all so welcome. We have had the time of our lives. We will miss you…until next time!"
"Absolutely amazing – we had a wonderful time. The villa was excellent and made perfect by its own platform to the sea with turtles at the bottom to swim with! Looked after incredibly well by Zeze who answered our every need! Thank you to Simpson Travel for making this work in this particularly crazy time…well done to all involved!"
"I cannot recommend Simpson Travel enough. If you are concerned for your holiday, then don’t be, you will have a wonderful time. Everyone we met was just as happy to see us as we were to see them! This was also the case for all the shopkeepers and restaurant staff, who were so happy to be in business again, so we ate out as much as possible to help them out. In these uncertain times, Simpson provided stability and kept us informed of any changes and, as a result, we thoroughly enjoyed our time away, giving us a much-needed break from the British media storm. As there were no Covid-19 cases on Paxos and very little on Corfu at all, we felt secluded and safer than we do at home! Thank you Simpson Travel – see you next year!!"

Simply the Best
I hate writing reviews as normally you have to think of a title. But, in this case it was easy as a song by Tina Turner sprang to mind "Simply the Best".
As providers of holiday destinations they fulfil that requirement tied up with ribbon and bells on (not literally!). The locations and quality of accommodation from Villas to Hotels we have found to be second to none. The amazing thing is that whether it be hotel staff, in country reps. or travel consultants at the end of the phone they all treat you with respect and will do anything to make your holiday better than you expected. So much so that my wife could not resist, and I have booked two more for 2021.

Best travel company by far
I’ve booked numerous holidays with Simpson ever since we used them for our honeymoon 15 years ago. They are one of the most consistent and reliable companies I’ve used to travel, or for anything for that matter, so I would highly recommend.

Simpson Travel...
Simpson Travel was the only tour operator we would have considered travelling with this year and our trust was well-founded.
They kept us well-informed in the run up to our holiday and every care was taken to fulfill the hygiene standards needed to ensure our safety.
The travel arrangements were faultless: our taxi driver was waiting for us on arrival at Preveza airport, then the water taxi was ready to take us from Lefkada to Meganissi and Rebecca was waiting to greet us at Vathy port with the keys to our hire car. The villa was spotless and extremely well-equipped. Rania was always available to answer our questions and made sure our departure was as seamless as our arrival. Suffice to say, we have already booked to go back next year!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Just returned from The Regency Hotel in Kalkan which was totally stunning. My first holiday with Simpson's and won't be my last; they really looked after us all the way through.

Excellent customer service. You really feel well looked after. Have been using them for the last 6 years. You pay that little bit more but it is worth it. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Positive: Professionalism
After the most wonderful Simpson Travel holiday in Crete last year we immediately booked again for this summer.
With a heavy heart we have just cancelled the holiday due to the UK quarantine uncertainty.
Simpson could not have been more helpful, understanding and compassionate throughout this frustrating process.
Graham (the MD) was particularly impressive - open, reasonable and utterly focussed on our needs and concerns, rather than those of the business.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough - and will definately be supporting them when we all get our lives back.
Thank you everyone at Simpson.
