Guest Reviews 2026

Summer is in full swing all around southern Europe, and judging by our guest feedback, it's shaping up to be a vintage year. We read every one of the 100s of reviews that come in each season, taking action where you've suggested improvements, and passing on the many very kind comments to our overseas staff, villa owners and hoteliers. From our more modest Simply Simpson properties to the lavish Signature villas and our own Simpson Hotels, we are delighted that so many of you have enjoyed such memorable holidays. As a thank you to those who have spent a few minutes giving their feedback, we are pleased to donate £2 to the charity Together for Short Lives for every completed questionnaire.

Here are some examples of what Simpson Travellers are saying in 2026:

Can Sion, Mallorca

"From the first contact, right through to saying goodbye to the Simpson manager at destination, all was handled so well. In fact, of all the villa / holiday companies that we have used, nobody comes close!"

Mr Michael Rainford, April 2026

 

Villa Achilleas, The Peloponnese

"Once again Simpson have delivered and found another perfect villa. Villa Achilleas was absolutely perfect. We asked for a holiday to remember and boy Simpson gave us that. Thank you to the whole Simpson team."

Mrs Geri Hazley, April 2025

 

Bella Mare Hotel, Corfu

"This was our third visit to Bella Mare in 19 months, so Simpson Travel are certainly doing something right! The peaceful and beautiful setting is fairly clear from the website, but the exceptional welcoming attitude of the entire staff throughout the week has made Bella Mare a home from home for us. We booked again for next year as soon as we got home!"

Mr John Wilson, May 2026

 

Kalkan Regency, Kalkan

"The service from Simpson Travel was second to none. From the pre-arrival personal comms to the presence at the airport on the way home one of their reps was always on hand. The private transfers came as standard and the free full day boat trip was exceptional. I don't usually do package holidays but this was in a different league."

Mrs Diane Bedford, May 2026

 

Kyparissi, Ithaca

"The service from Simpsons both before and during the holiday is first class. In particular, queries can be made over the phone and answered by a real person without having to wait for long periods. The concierge service was helpful and efficient and the resort rep informative and friendly. It is reassuring to know there is someone on hand to deal with any issues and answer questions. By far the most superior holiday company I have used."

Ms Pam Hibbert, OBE, May 2025

 

Melitina, Crete

"Thank you to Simpson Travel for a truly wonderful holiday in Mochlos. We loved every minute of it and have fallen in love with Crete. We booked very last minute and were so well looked after despite the lateness. Nikos at the villa and resort could not have been more friendly and helpful and Sophia made us a perfect breakfast every day. The villa was outstanding and Mochlos was perfect. It was everything we had hoped for, and more, and we can't wait to book our next holiday with you... probably back to Mochlos!"

Mrs Maria McKenna, May 2025

 

Villa Petraia, Tuscany

"We had a wonderful family holiday at Villa Petraia in Panzano. The villa is beautiful, clean and very spacious and you could never tire of the views! Christine, the owner, gave lots of useful information about Panzano and the surrounding areas. She was always on hand should you have any queries. Nothing was too much trouble. When you pull up outside Villa Petraia you have absolutely no idea just how beautiful it is until you walk inside. It's incredibly special and I would go back in a heartbeat."

Mrs Lynne Whitby, May 2025

 

Villa Su, Kalkan

"As others have said this villa is simply “wow!” - our expectations were pretty high looking at the photos, but the reality really did knock our socks off! So well thought out, beautiful touches and incredibly well kitted out. Picking lemons from the tree a highlight! Daily bread deliveries were very special - we had a wonderful BBQ catered for by Korsan which we would definitely recommend. Lovely guys who made it very special. Enjoy your holiday - we would love to return."

Barnaby, Sam & Lily, May 2026

 

Villa Nuciola, Corsica

"A fabulous week with 3 generations! We loved the beautiful villa and exploring a bit of Corsica and definitely plan to return. Bonifacio was a great day out. We will miss the stunning view. We felt extremely well looked after both before and during our holiday by Simpson, who make holidays almost effortless! Sad to be leaving!"

The Long family, June 2026

 

Les Oliviers, France

"Wow! What an amazing place to stay. The perfect location so close to the village and an amazing setting to laze around at! The villa provided for our every need and the pool was the perfect way to beat the hot sun. So many great memories made in a truly stunning place."

The Hams, June 2026

 

Neo Dalyan Villas - Kaunos, Dalyan

"Thank you Simpsons for finding such a fabulous villa, in beautiful surroundings and near Dalyan which has plenty of life (if you want it) - If you don’t want it, you have the best place to stay in Kaunos. The team at the villa have been fantastic, thank you Berra - and all backed up by Sophie, our concierge, who was always there for us. It’s our first time in Dalyan and we’re coming back in September with friends. We look forward to exploring the area even more - that’s if we can drag ourselves away from the villa - what a find. See you all soon."

Dawn & Mike, June 2026

 

The Stone House, Paxos

"Another magical week with Simpson Travel. This year, we ventured to Paxos and stayed in the beautiful Stone House. The view was incredible, and the villa and pool were much bigger than the photos made it seem, which was such a nice surprise! Simpson handle everything for you, it is such a weight off the mind to know that the water taxis etc are being taken care of and all you have to do is show up and enjoy. We didn't end up hiring a car and were able to walk to the local town and beaches happily, and used taxis to get us to other areas of the island or to collect us in the evening. These were booked and arranged through the Simpson Rep Chris, who also booked restaurants and our boat day. I can't recommend enough, thank you Simpson, we will be back!"

JB, June 2025

 

Mousses Villas, Lefkada

"We have absolutely loved our week here at Mousses! After several holidays at 5 star all inclusive resorts (Greece, Portugal and Dubai) with childcare, this holiday beat them all hands down. Wendy, Zois and all the ladies at the crèche made our time here so enjoyable. Thank you so much to the whole team for a fab week."

Christine, Liam, Ralphy & Elsie, June 2026

 

Villa Sapphire, Kefalonia

"Well, what can we say? This villa is honestly the best we have ever stayed at. Simpson Travel are the very best from pre booking to long after the holiday is over. Steph and Karen have gone out of their way to ensure we have everything we need (or want!) It’s our 2nd time at Villa Sapphire, and with just cause. We haven’t travelled far, we’ve not needed to! We’ve known and looked forward to our revisit - and yes, only 2 of us for so much space! We have our reasons for this. It is a very special place, so full of nature, peace and quiet. Everything we needed for our relaxing break. Thank you Simpson Travel, may we be fortunate enough to travel with you again."

Erica & Paul, June 2026
