We’ve holidayed with Simpson Travel on a number of occasions and they always deliver exceptional experiences. The villas are always well appointed, offering a home from home level of comfort and a luxury feel. This year we’ve stayed in Villa Stellina which exceeded our expectations. It has been our visit time in Kefalonia and would certainly return. Plenty to do without feeling at all touristy. Special mention to Karen who has been our Simpson Travel Manager - nothing has been too much bother going above and beyond to ensure we knew all the best places to go for experiences and dining.

We had an amazing time in Kefalonia. Karen our Simpson Travel rep was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure had a great time. The villa was outstanding with great views and excellent for children.

This villa is exceptional. Incredible view and spotless clean pool. So much space for two couples. This was our second visit and we loved it so much.

Beautiful week in this excellent villa looking out on lovely landscape. Spent much of our time enjoying the serenity of this location. Trips round south and east of the island. Particularly enjoyed Sami. We endorse everyone’s previous comments on Karen’s outstanding support. Her knowledge and helpfulness is the best guest support we have ever experienced. Thank you.

Lovely to discover this part of Kefalonia from such a perfect location. We especially enjoyed our early morning swims from St Thomas's beach where we were welcomed by the locals. All the restaurants we visited were very good, offering a variety of excellent food, most of which was freshly made and locally sourced. Stunning views! Thanks to Karen for her welcome and attending to our various needs – much appreciated.

Beautiful villa 2 bedrooms en-suite in a lovely setting with sea views and gardens surrounding in south east of island .We explored the whole island with hire car provided which had plenty of boot space .
It’s so beautiful in Kefalonia in May so green and flowers everywhere.
What an amazing rep, Karen so responsive to questions and so knowledgeable on all things to do and see on island.
Thank you Simpson Travel

Beautiful villa in a great location. Special thanks to Karen for her tips and advice. Especially the recommendation to buy the map and the restaurants. Glad we hired a car. The drive around the island superb and some stunning locations en route - Assos, Fiskardo, Argostoli. This is our second holiday with Simpson Travel and very impressed.

I would highly recommend Simpson travel to anyone and they would now be my first choice of agent when booking my next holiday. From start to finish the attention to detail and communication was excellent. Our villa was as described and immaculate and clean. Karen our rep really supported us as we took our disabled sister with us and nothing was too much trouble.

Karen made all the difference to our holiday - she couldn’t have been more helpful and knew that if anything happened, she would be there to help. The villa was amazing - so spacious and well equipped. We wanted for nothing. A fantastic holiday made special by the villa and Karen’s help.

Our second time visiting Kefalonia and while this trip was a more relaxed/chilled visit, it was every bit as enjoyable as the first. The villa itself has been beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped. It was made even more special by our fabulous rep - Karen. You’ve been amazing with recommendations and made us feel like we were never alone on the island should we ever have needed help. Thank you for helping make another wonderful Kefalonia holiday full of lovely memories.

We have enjoyed all our Simpson holidays but this one was the best so far. Suffice to say, we booked up again for 2026 within our first day there! The villa was absolutely beautiful, perfect for our needs. So well designed, excellently and thoughtfully equipped and appointed. We had to drag ourselves away every day!

Villa and location beautiful and as described. Karen (our local concierge) was extremely responsive, thoughtful and we were well looked after right to the point of arriving back home. She is a credit to Simpsons Travel.

Wonderful holiday and villa stunning! We enjoyed every aspect of this beautiful villa – the owners and team take such pride in its upkeep. The gardens are fabulous! Karen was great and nothing was too much trouble. Her knowledge of the island was so helpful. Kefalonia – wow. We will be back! Wonderful people too. Thank you for helping us ‘chill’ for a much needed rest!

This is the first time we have used Simpson Travel and have been very pleased with their excellent service. Villa Stellina was wonderful, very clean, with an extremely well kept and beautiful garden. Karen, our concierge in Kefalonia was extremely helpful, offering advice about our stay and giving us information, that we hadn't thought to ask!
The only thing that would have our holiday perfect would have been to have had an automatic car and whilst we could have organised this independently, we feel that it would be preferable for Simpson Travel to offer this facility. When we spoke to the company about this we felt that were completely inflexible!

We too have enjoyed two lovely weeks here in the southern half of the island. The weather has been excellent and we too have been able to relax at this villa with great views and pretty gardens. A big shout out and thank you to Karen – the font of all knowledge.

Another lovely Simpson villa holiday this time in Kefalonia - staying at Villa Stellina - the villa was very comfortable with pretty well tended gardens and great views. Our concierge Karen was excellent throughout our stay

Our family holiday in Villa Stelina was a wonderful experience. Letting us make the most of the villa and pool together with exploring Kefalonia. Our Simpson concierge Karen was excellent. Very friendly, knowledgeable and always available when we needed her. Another wonderful Simpson holiday.

Our first trip to Kefalonia in Villa Stellina. Wonderful two weeks, some days taking advantage of the lovely villa and some days going out. We saw the turtles at Agostoli then took the ferry to Lixouri. Had a lovely lunch in the square. We also went on a boat trip to watch the sun set and swim. We really enjoyed the trip. Very friendly crew and good music. Karen was incredible, so friendly, very informative, helpful and a pleasure to have met her. Thank you all!

What a fantastic villa, calm, beautiful and great views.
The gardens are well kept and the owners take pride in their two villas.
Karen, the Simpson Rep, is the best rep we have ever had and a true credit to Simpson Kefalonia. The island, as Karen says, "sells itself".
We will be back.
Top scores for Simpson Travel, Karen and the owners.

Thank you to the owners for allowing us to use their wonderfully equipped villa with beautiful views. So relaxing and needed for rest and recuperation. Superb support from Karen over transfer on Ithaca and issues with the hire car and safe. She acted promptly and effectively. Thank you – much appreciated. We have enjoyed our stay on both islands, thank you once again Simpsons.

Our first visit to Kefalonia, the island is wonderful. We will definitely be back as there is so much more to see.
Villa Stellina is amazing, with wonderful views of Mt Ainos & Zante.
How could we forget Karen! Her knowledge of the island is brilliant and the information she provided both before and during our stay helped us to have an amazing time.

The villa is stunning and the views are breathtaking. We were on a mission to see the turtles in Argostoli… yes! Beautiful creatures. The boat trip over to Lixouri was very easy. It’s very laid back.
We found the Greeks welcoming and friendly.
Karen filled us in on things to see and do on the island and she explained all in great detail. She is a lovely lady. Friendly and polite.
I’m certain we’ll be back.

The view of the mountain is as engrossing as the sea and distant Zante, especially as night falls and lights appear along its flank.
We’ve very much enjoyed this beautiful villa and exploring a little of the surrounding area.
Lixouri trip easy to do and nicer than expected. It was buzzing with music & parades to celebrate their May 21st bank holiday.

A very special week in a gorgeous villa for our 30th wedding anniversary. We could not have found a better place to celebrate.
The villa is beautiful and the outdoor area amazing. We spent lots of time relaxing on the terrace and braving the very cold but welcoming pool.
The island is wonderful and we will definitely be back. Our week was to rest + recharge after a very tough 6 yrs. We need to come back to do some of the things we missed on this visit.

Villa Stellina has been built to a very high spec both inside & out.
We particularly loved the outside space & gardens. The interior is very modern & stylish & well looked after. We loved its position overlooking the sea & the mountain view.
As we have been to Kefalonia several times before, we decided to have a lazy week & this is the ideal villa to do it in.

The whole holiday experience with Simpson Travel was excellent. Pre departure we had some errors to our booking that were resolved very quickly. Information pre departure was very concise and reassuring. Karen our concierge in Kefalonia was superb. She was friendly, knowledgeable and helped us with taxi and restaurant reservations, and advice on things to do. She made our 30th wedding anniversary holiday extra special with lots of little touches like a card and wine. Brought us lemons from her own garden. Karen is an absolute asset to Simpson Travel. We would definitely book with Simpson Travel again as we felt we were in good hands and we didn’t have to worry about anything except enjoying our holiday.

The villa looked brand new although it was four years old. Everything about it was perfect. No noise just a great place to relax in total privacy. Karen our local rep was excellent and very knowledgeable and even stopped as we got lost getting to the villa and then we followed her to the property. The facilities at the property were in perfect condition. An enjoyable relaxing week

As a family of four (including two teenagers), we each have very different holiday wants. Relaxing tranquility in the blissful surroundings of lush olive groves, striking mountains and pretty villages on the one hand, enjoying deliciously fresh local food while soaking up breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets. On the other, fun and adventure, with water activities galore: swimming, paddle-boarding and jet-skis; hiring a boat to explore secret coves, fascinating caves and all but deserted beaches. Pottering in the bustling capital Argostoli, sipping refreshing iced coffees while shopping for local crafts, followed by turtle-spotting in the gorgeous bay. Or for those lazy days - and, most memorably, nights - setting sail on friendly catered boat trips, letting the warmth of Greek hospitality and a salty sea breeze truly blow away the cobwebs, before taking a dip in the idyllic Ionian Sea beneath a star-filled sky. This was our ninth visit to Kefalonia, a small but fascinating island that somehow really gets under your skin. The icing on the baklava is the best, most caring, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful local representative you'll ever meet. Karen genuinely wants every guest to have an amazing time, and she goes way above and beyond to make sure they do. Holidays are expensive, which makes booking through Simpson Travel the smart choice for our family: it gives us peace of mind knowing we'll enjoy personalised service, prime locations and premium accommodation - every time.

Such a shame we are leaving here today after what has been a wonderful family holiday. We hope that the next guests to Villa Stellina has a holiday that is as good as ours has been.
