Our experience with Simpsons was yet again flawless. The team on Corfu and Paxos are terrific communicators and always ensure you are in the right place at the right time for transfers, meaning you don’t have to worry about checking timetables..."
This holiday was simply the most relaxing ever, the care and attention of the Simpson team once we landed at Corfu airport was second to none. We were very well looked after and the villa was perfect. All in all can't wait to do it all again."
The service from Simpsons was amazing- they really looked after us. The villa was beautiful and Chris, the local rep, was a great help with helping us plan our fun!"

Monodendri is one of the most beautiful beaches on Paxos; a 400-metre sweep of white pebbles backed by pine and cypress trees with a turquoise sea lapping at its shores. Since the majority of our clients prefer ‘a room with a view’, location is always a key factor when choosing our properties and Thanelli ticks all the boxes.
In spring and autumn, it's a haven for those who prefer a relaxing sojourn with a scattering of like-minded visitors either scattered along the beach or sampling the fresh fish at one of the two waterside tavernas. In the height of summer, late July and August, a different clientele arrive: families with teenage children, young couples and those who enjoy a slightly faster pace, bringing a more upbeat feel and vibrant atmosphere.
Thanelli sits behind Monodendri Blue and is a spacious and contemporary villa with stunning views over this glorious spot. Perfect for families with teenagers during school holidays while offering a more relaxed feel during the shoulder months. The beach is a mere five-minute stroll down a meandering lane that finishes at Monodendri (longer on the uphill journey back). In the afternoon on hot August days music can be heard wafting up from the beach, but by late afternoon most sunworshippers have departed and you'll have time to enjoy a quiet cocktail in one of the two tavernas before they close before dinner.
Whilst maintaining its own independence and privacy, Thanelli can be rented along with Monodendri Blue to provide a spacious venue for an extended family gathering or a group of friends.

Barely eight miles from tip to tail, Paxos is pint-sized perfection. The only way to get here is by boat from Corfu, which rules out mass development and makes room for a true luxury villa holiday experience. Beloved by the boating crowd, there's a definite buzz in the main summer months and an excellent choice of restaurants that cater for visiting flotilla.
There are few better ways of relaxing than on a luxury holiday in Paxos, where days fill up beautifully with sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and dining in style, the sea just metres from your table. Amble through ancient olive groves and you’ll catch glimpses of startlingly turquoise bays, the dramatic west-coast cliffs or the Epiros Mountains. In spring, there’s also a haze of purple honesty, wild irises and lilies and a sky that’s alive with birdlife, from hawks to skylarks.
Complete the picture with a stay in one of our handpicked luxury villas or our unique Adult Only Simpson Hotels and make the most of this peaceful island.
