What a delightful stay in Diamantina! Jackie recognised we were here to rest and made her contact details clear – perfect. We have loved the pool, local shops and delicious meals out. The Corfiots are charming and such friendly people. Who would not return!

This gorgeous villa was a real hidden treasure...pool, garden, covered terrace, spacious, and slap bang in the middle of the village.
Not that you would know it.
We loved it and found real peace, thank you Simpsons.

Simpson villas are always beautifully maintained and have everything you will need for the perfect holiday! Villa Diamantina was central in the village close to all amenities. The Villa was so pretty, spacious and had an attractive pool with a patio and seating around. Although central it was very quiet.

A very hot week! The pool was perfect and the villa lovely – what a wonderful location with all the excellent tavernas just minutes away. The village supermarket stocked everything we needed but the welcome pack was wonderful and kept us going for days!
Jackie was great at suggesting places to go (although we were very lazy) and booked a beautiful table next to the sea at a taverna one evening.
If we come again we will not bother with a car as the water taxis to various bays are plentiful and also cool!

We came for a relaxing break – and Diamantina helped give us just that! Quaint house, great location – right next to the harbour-front tavernas. Very clean & well maintained – inside and out. Local tavernas all serving good food – especially the fresh fish! Both village supermarkets had all that you need – including fresh bakery stuff. Water Taxi – into Corfu Town (and back) is a MUST DO! Great value for money, and beats the traffic all day long. Jackie was great and helped with whatever we weren’t too sure about!
A lovely break – measured by “Would we come back?” Yes!!

Lovely stay at Diamantina. Lots of relaxing by the pool in the charming gardens. We enjoyed good food at all the local tavernas and had great service at the local bars too.
San Stefano supermarket more than catered for all our needs. The local yoghurt and olives are particularly delicious, and the staff are so helpful and friendly.
A big thank you to Jackie who has been extremely professional, helpful and friendly. She really contributed to us having a wonderful holiday.

We did all the usual things – trip to Corfu Town to wander round the Liston, a cruise up the coast, a trek across the hill to Paleokastritsa, a boat trip & lunch at Agni, a narrow road to the villages above the Old Fortress, hired a boat and had the boat driver navigate the intriguing Canal d'Amour at Sidari.
We loved the challenge of driving onto the unpaved market road and up the coast with spectacular views (how do locals deal with it?!). Checked out multiple different beaches and swam there together and stumbled onto Archaravi Beach, which is the next bay along.

We've thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks here. Comfortable and with everything we've needed for a relaxing holiday. Jackie, our local concierge, couldn't have been more helpful. We took a trip via water taxi to Corfu Town and, apart from looking around the fortress and visiting various churches, found a very quirky coffee shop within a bookshop. We've enjoyed local walks to Kerasia and a longer walk to Kalami.

Charming villa, great location, chilled holiday. Water taxi to Corfu Town was a great day. Old Perithia was lovely, wild flowers still out, easy walks and wonderful to look around. Olive oil tasting tour was a great 3 hour morning experience. Kassiopi has nice shops and scenery. Walking to Kerasia Beach, morning coffee at snack bar and a swim, very pleasant morning excursion.

Delightful villa, superb location, well equipped. We had a wonderful week here in this tiny bit of paradise on earth. The villa is in the centre of the village, so close to everything you need, including lots of delightful tavernas. Jackie was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Would love to have stayed longer.

The concierge, Jackie, was very good - we lost our keys and she brought out spares quickly. The villa was lovely with all the facilities you could want and very close to the amenities along the bay. We would definitely come again.

Had a wonderful stay in San Stephanos, Corfu. The accommodation and location was so perfect and from start to finish we simply had the best holiday. Hiccups? The water was very stop start in the house. There were a few storms so we put it down to potential electricity problems but one day it failed and there actually was an issue. It was fixed within 24 hours and didn’t spoil a thing. This is my second time with Simpson and I couldn’t be happier. Will always start and holiday search with them!

Our first time in Agios Stefanos – we loved it! The house has worked perfectly as a base to enjoy all the local tavernas and boat trips. Jackie has been characteristically professional and efficient. Love this place. Definitely coming back.

Another lovely holiday with Simpson Travel. The property was of a very high standard and ideally situated for us, within walking distance of five good tavernas. As usual, the Simpson rep provided appropriate suggestions for local visits and walks. Consistently reliable and a trusted holiday provider.

This was my first visit to Corfu – a beautiful island so I hope to come again. Agios Stephanos is a lovely village, equipped with good eating options. Diamantina is lovely too – clean, well equipped, comfortable and well positioned for quick trips to the well-stocked supermarkets. We hired a boat and tried one of the walks. We hope to be back.

Our third visit to this beautiful island and our first time travelling with Simpson Travel. The villa is charming, well equipped and although in the centre of the village, is peaceful and secluded. Agios Stephanos is perfect for a peaceful holiday, the people are friendly, the tavernas excellent (Eucalyptis and Galivi being our favourite) and the warm water, clean and good for relaxed snorkelling. Very impressed with Simpson Travel and the way the holiday was organised and the high standards in the villa. Especially Jackie, the rep, who was very helpful when I managed to lock ourselves out of the villa one evening! Surely, I am not the only one to have done this? I am? Oh!..My wife had a bad knee claiming our time here but all we want for a wonderful holiday was on our doorsteps in the village. Very much hope to return to this beautiful part of Corfu soon, with Simpson Travel of course!

Another lovely relaxing week courtesy of Simpson Travel – these days our tour operator of choice for European sun. Jackie, the representative for Diamantina, more than lived up to expectation – quiet, calm and full of common sense and good ideas. No doubt we will return to this pretty place.

From the moment we opened the big green gate into Diamantina we knew that we were going to have a wonderful holiday. The cottage has a real 'wow' factor and is wonderfully equipped. We would recommend the walk to Kerasia beach, great for a beer and a swim before coming back. The scenery is stunning. Thank you Jackie for all your help. Hopefully we'll be back.

So many reasons to love Diamantina – great location, lovely shaded and sheltered garden and well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, a restful and relaxing sitting room and several enticing outdoor areas to enjoy a drink and a meal. Many thanks to Jackie yet again for looking after us and doing her best when a problem came up to help solve it. We are sad to be leaving. We will return.

We love it here! Diamantia is beautiful everything you could want. Perfectly equipped – lovely garden and pool. Location amazing! So relaxing to just stroll out – have a drink and a meal.

We have also had a really lovely week staying here! Hired a boat for three days and went up and down the coast stopping off at many different places. We were very surprised how easy it was to tie up at a jetty while being free of charge coupled with the friendliness of all the locals. We will miss the sea swimming – very beautiful. Hope to come back!
