Work with us: villa owners and hoteliers
Looking for the best company to rent your villa for you? Would you like to have more quality clients at your small hotel? Our Product and Sales Director Mathew Simpson – son of company founder Graham Simpson – explains who we are, what we offer and what we’re looking for.
Introducing Simpson Travel
After almost 50 years in the travel industry, initially as Simply Travel and then as Simpson Travel, our company remains very much a family business, and we consider our villa owners and hoteliers to be part of the extended family. Our working relationships are built on trust and respect, and we offer the same high-quality service to our owners as we do to our guests. Simpson Travel has seen impressive growth since 2002, successfully weathering the Covid pandemic and attracting significant external investment to keep us at the forefront of marketing technology whilst still retaining the personal touch that our clients value. As leading specialists in Greece, Turkey, Italy (including Sicily), France (including Corsica), Mallorca and most recently Portugal, we have ambitious plans to continue to grow, and are always happy to hear from potential accommodation partners who share our high standards.

What we look for
We're always interested in hearing from owners of exceptional villas, boutique hotels and distinctive holiday properties in Greece, Turkey, Italy, France (including Corsica), Mallorca and Portugal. Our accommodation is generally the best available in its category, whether that’s a luxury beach villa, a quiet country cottage or a boutique-style hotel with outstanding personal service. For genuine luxury villas, there is the opportunity to feature in our Simpson Signature collection.
Guideline minimum requirements:
- Swimming pool or waterfront location
- Quiet location, ideally with a great view + facilities within walking distance
- High quality beds, mattresses and household linens
- High quality furniture for indoors and outdoors
- Regular maintenance of house, pool and grounds
- Full villa cleaning at least once per week, dependent on location
Above all, we look for owners who share our commitment to personal service and who are willing to work with us to provide the best possible experience for our guests.
