Last guests for this season but hope to back next year. Lovely villa and most amazing views. Special thanks to Spyros and Hazel, also to Veya for keeping the villa so clean.

We had an amazing time in Lefkada, it’s our 3rd time with Simpsons and they really do take away the worry. Hazel our concierge was fantastic and always booked us the best table.
Our villa was perfect and a great location!

Had a lovely relaxing week – everything you need at the villa – lovely and clean. Everything on doorstep – beach – walkable shops restaurants. I’m sure we’ll return to do the things we missed! Thanks again to Hazel who helped with a medical problem. She was super helpful.

A gorgeous week – Villa Bella is a lovely spot and there’s nothing more relaxing than enjoying breakfast with those beach views! We also experimented with a drive to the beaches on the West Coast – Porto Katsiki and Egremni – they were absolutely breathtaking! Worth bringing the umbrella for shade and be prepared for quite the walk/steps at Egremni beach – but all worth it! Thank you Hazel for your tips and coffee pods!! Really appreciate it – you helped make the week lovely and relaxing. We’ll miss the Greek food and the sunshine!

We had a wonderful week at Villa Bella in Lefkada. Such a beautiful location and also convenient for walking to shops, tavernas and restaurants. The villa is well equipped and kept very clean. Our Simpsons representative Hazel was excellent, she dealt with pre departure shopping, booking restaurants and any queries/questions we had. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing experience with Simpson Travel. Yet again, Simpson made the perfect recommendation for my needs and from start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. 3rd time booking with Simpson and we will book again. Tip for your stay. Book a boat for a day or more, you won’t regret it.

From initial contact to the end of our holiday the service provided by all staff was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Simpson Travel and will definitely be looking to use them myself again. Thank you everyone

The Villa was outstanding with the wonder of having the beach at the bottom of our lovely garden. Spotless, and always somewhere to move to under the tree outside the magic beach gate.

The villa was in an excellent location for us. We had asked for somewhere peaceful but in reach of a few places to eat and that is exactly what we got. The villa has its own gate to the beach & a short walk took us to Nydri with its harbour, shops and tavernas. At the top of the driveway to the villa is a coffee shop & bakery and many mornings were spent with a latte and croissant by the pool. There are lots of places to eat & drink in Nydri, catering for all budgets. There ones we tried were excellent. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of peace and quiet but with option to have access to restaurants and bars if you want them, this is a great place to stay.

We had a lovely holiday to Lefkada with Simpson Travel. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and both the pool and garden were very well kept. The villa was as described on the website and the service provided was very good.

ESTELLE: A very memorable stay as my boyfriend proposed to me under the olive tree! Such wonderful memories to treasure. Thank you to Maria for your kindness and your help. LAURENCE: A truly beautiful week – lovely restaurants, relaxing time and under the olive tree – a perfect place to ask my beautiful Estelle to marry me! 😊

A lovely, memorable week spent at Villa Bella - and the most romantic setting under an old olive tree in the garden to propose...

Customer Feedback
Beautiful villa in a wonderful beachside location. Everything on the beach: local Taverna for lunch, boat hire right outside the villa (day hire) , a bakery at the top of the road. Nydri is within walking distancing and Lefkada was E25 in a taxi. The master bedroom is beautiful- the second bedroom is much smaller and more functional. We enjoyed a relaxing week here relaxing by the pool and on the beach. The views of the bay, mountains and watching the yachts was wonderful!

We had a wonderful week at Villa Bella despite the changeable weather. The villa is in a perfect location and is clean and well-maintained with everything you need and more. There are well-stocked supermarkets nearby along with several excellent restaurants to choose from. A short walk takes you to the bright lights of Nydri town. The combination of the villa's beautiful garden and pool combined with the small beach with shady trees and beautiful sea just outside the villa meant that we never strayed far. A totally relaxing and lazy holiday, thank you!

Had a wonderful relaxing week. Maria was amazing at advising the best places for our needs and wishes. We were less keen on the bustle of Nidri, and preferred the picturesque villages in the mountains. We loved quaint Sivota for local tavernas for great brunches and dinners. Katerina keeps the villa spotless.

Almost one year on, we have returned to Villa Bella for another perfect week. Last time it was the two of us and ‘bump’, who is now a cheeky 7-month-old boy – Max! This villa is perfect for us – right on the beach and a short walk into Nidri.

We really enjoyed our stay at Acqua di Mare Villa Bella. We particularly liked the garden with the olive tree for shade and the mulberry tree just on the beach. Swimming just a few steps from the garden in the sea with the view to the mountains was a real treat & very relaxing. We had a brilliant day out hiring a boat from Dimitrios at the jetty right next to the Villa. We explored the island as far as the Cape on a day that started rainy but delivered spectacular views & scenery with glorious sunshine later. And still got back in time for a swim! We would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay with our 3 year old. Thank you for organising all the kids extras which made staying with a toddler so much easier. Lovely villa, pool a little bit chilly in October but we still made it in. Spectacular views from the upstairs bedroom.

We had a lovely stay in Villa Bella! We took it easy, watched the world go by. We really liked the zones, how there are multiple seating areas with varying amounts of sun.

A wonderful first visit to Lefkada, hopefully it won't be the last. What hidden gem. This is probably the best holiday accommodation we've ever stayed in - just perfect.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Bella! It's ideal that the sea is right at your doorstep. If you take googles/mask you can see all sorts of fish including seahorses and hermit crabs.

Our 4th time at Villa Bella and 12th Simpson holiday, which speaks for itself. Villa Bella never disappoints stunning location and we never tire of the beautiful views. Thanks to Ioannis for all he has done. Pleased to use the new Tassimo coffee machine and the new parasol in the garden is so much easier to use than the last one. Katerina always keeps the villa and outside area pristine.

Wow what a view from this villa! We've had a wonderful time, didn't really need to leave the villa apart from dining out and shopping. Any problems were immediately solved by Ioannis, to whom we are very grateful. A fabulous holiday, especially the views.

Villa Bella is a delightful modern villa with space and great amenities. The pool is quite small but clean and inviting. It was lovely to go straight out of the garden gate to swim in the sea. There is a bakery, shops and restaurants in walking distance.

Excellent trip to Lefkada with Simpson Travel. Villa was great and trip felt very smooth and easy. John and Karen (the team on the ground) could not have been more friendly and helpful.

After a fantastic week at Acqua di Mare, the very warm welcome we received from Alexandra and Eva immediately made us feel at home for our second week of bliss on the island! Imagine our surprise to find that no only were we the first Simpson guests of the year, but the only Simpson guests! Having the terrace and pool to ourselves can only be described as ‘spoiled’ and were also spoiled with wonderful breakfasts and much care from Alexandra and Eva. Our highlights: day trip to Metsovo, Dedoni ruins, Lake Ioannina in the national park.

From the time we left the UK until the time we landed at Preveza it was stress- free. Greeted promptly by Simpson staff at the airport, the Simpson rep contacted us on arrival at the villa, home from home facilities at the villa – every detail thought off and spotlessly clean throughout. Excellent location within a 10-minute walk you will find everything that you need from supermarkets to an endless array of restaurants. If you found it in your heart to find fault with this holiday package it would be impossible. Absolutely fantastic, keep up the great work.

This holiday ticked all the boxes re our family requests and more.... villa with pool, on the beach so sea swimming, walk to excellent tavernas to eat. Stunning location and views, the cleanest and best equipped villa and plenty to do on the island – thank you to our rep, Jo, for her excellent recommendations – just a perfect holiday – thank you!

The villa we stayed in was good but the garden, pool and direct access to the beach and sea beyond was AMAZING! The pool was very nice, with the attached Jacuzzi acting as a fabulous smaller pool for our 2-year-old giving her confidence to enjoy the water, so much so that she was swimming around the main pool by the end of the holiday! Having the boat hire at the foot of the garden was very convenient for us – we loved hiring our own boat and being able to watch all the activity on the sea from the comfort of our garden or pool area.

The location of the villa was perfect – close enough to Nidri to be able to walk to and fro but far enough away for it not to be intrusive.

Villa Bella is a super villa in all respects. Beautifully and thoughtfully designed, extremely well-maintained and clean as well as being in a great location. It is close to amenities, but private and away from the throng, with good tavernas and essential shops nearby. We loved exploring the coast and Meganissi in a small hired boat, which we were able to moor outside the villa. The very helpful, local Simpson Travel representative made great recommendations and contributed to a super holiday.
