We had a lovely holiday. Everyone was charming and helpful

Our week at Kalloni was everything we could have wished for - travelling as 2 couples. The villa was extremely clean and comfortable with a wonderful view of Mochlos and the dramatic coastline. Our stay was undoubtably one of our best experiences with Simpsons. The concierge service and housekeeping provided by Nikos and Katerina were second to none. Nikos checked in everyday to see if there was anything he could help with or suggest and Katrina's breakfasts were amazing. Nothing was too much for them and they were always ready to chat and answer our questions.

An incredible experience from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more from the Simpson travel staff in UK or Nikos and Katerina in Crete. Villa Kalloni was the perfect getaway on the "road less travelled".

We loved our time at villa Kalloni, it was beyond our expectations! One of the best parts was having a delicious breakfast made for us each morning. The villa is stunning, the pool is fantastic and the location was perfect. Mochlos was everything we wanted, relaxing but with enough choice of tavernas for supper each evening and a really laid back vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

Yet another lovely relaxing stay in a Simpson villa! A substantial morning breakfast provided by Katarina lasted the full day. A great idea! We did go out several times and found a real rustic Cretan restaurant with amazing sunset views. Nikos was very attentive and helpful for booking restaurants to get the best seats.

We loved our stay in Mochlos and spent a lot of time enjoying the villa, the village, and exploring Eastern Crete. Our highlights were swimming from Mochlos beach to the island, visiting Spinalonga, and Vai beach.

The most amazing service. The local concierge, the daily cleaner and the cook were just fabulous.
The villa was beautiful.

An amazing holiday in Mochlos spent in the sun! Nikos and Sofia were amazing and really made the trip, Breakfasts were delicious and Nikos’ knowledge of local spots was really helpful – all his recommendations were spot on. Thanks for a fabulous holiday.

We have had a wonderful week. The pool and soft loungers were superb. The location of the villa affords amazing views – such a pleasure to wake up to the sound of the sea. What makes the holiday special is the excellent customer service provided by both Nikos and Sofia. Nothing was too much trouble. Advice on restaurants, swimming, and walks was appreciated. Breakfast provided by Sofia was great and so lovely to have it served each morning. We can recommend all of the tavernas in Mochlos. They were all great with exceptionally friendly staff. The booking process was seamless and responsive and made everything easy. We will definitely be back. Very many thanks.

This is a beautiful Simpson villa. Luxurious with amazing views and a lovely pool with the best sunbeds – so comfortable. The sauna and gym were an added bonus. Nikos was extremely helpful and gave great suggestions and advice on places to visit and where to eat in Mochlos. We had three meals there, all good and reasonably priced. Sofia made breakfast each day and they were exceptional – set us up for the day with the amazing spread and different main breakfasts. She works really hard to look after the guests. The beds are comfortable and it was lovely to open the bedroom door and listen to the sea at night. Finally, the welcome pack was the best we have ever had – full of food and drink items, the perfect welcome Simpson style. We will miss Kalloni, Nikos and Sofia.

We have previously used Simpson Travel which is why we used them again. Booking the holiday was very easy and the pre-departure team dealt with a couple of queries very promptly and were very helpful. The handover at the airport and the collection of the hire car made it very easy for us to find the villa. Kalloni Villa was exceptional. We were met by Nikos and received the best welcome pack we have ever seen. Nikos was very friendly and provided us with great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to eat out. His visits each day were always welcome. The daily breakfasts provided by Sofia were excellent and set us up for the day. She works really hard and is a credit to Simpsons. As the villa was a short walk to the restaurants and tavernas in Mochlos you didn’t necessarily need a hire car, but it was useful as we wanted to experience some of the delights and attractions in that part of Crete. Staying in the villa and having the car gave us the flexibility to go out to local attractions and to relax by the pool and enjoy the great weather and views. We had a truly wonderful holiday experience and we returned relaxed and content. We will use Simpson Travel again and recommend to friends and family.

First time we've used Simpson Travel would highly recommend. Nikos, our concierge, was outstanding. Very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly but unobtrusive. His help with our very sick baby at 10.30pm was outstanding. He arranged an emergency appointment with a wonderful paediatrician and even offered to drive to the nearest pharmacy nearly 50km away if we wanted. Brilliant local recommendations, everything he suggested was a huge success. Sofia, the maid, was also wonderful. Bringing a baby bath with lots of toys for our 14 month old was a particularly excellent touch. She provided a very pleasant start to our mornings serving a delicious breakfast. Villa is very comfortable and well equipped, baby equipment provided is a high standard. Only minor niggle was the glassware provided could have been better. There weren't enough wine glasses and tumblers of the same type we had to drink out of brandy glasses. We only found some plastic tumblers for the swimming pool area on our last day. Position of the villa is outstanding with breathtaking views. The grounds are extremely well kept. Very professional, friendly and helpful Simpson Rep for flight out of Heraklion. All in all a very positive first experience, have already recommended to friends!

What an amazing villa in a stunning location. We instantly relaxed into the Mochlos pace of life made possible with the lovely Sofia's breakfasts and always having Nikos on hand with his unwavering help and advice. We would love to return one day….

We were charmed by Mochlos and loved our holiday at Kalloni. Nikos and Sophia were amazing hosts.

Amazing villa in a superb location with the best welcome pack we have ever received on a holiday! Breakfast was provided every day by the lovely Sofia and it was delicious. Mochlos is a 5 minute walk from the villa, with a great selection of tavernas. Nothing was too much trouble for Nikos, our Simpson representative, his local knowledge was invaluable. We would love to return.

We have had a magnificent fortnight at Villa Kalloni – the highlights in no particular order: the amazing views of the sea and the mountains from wherever you are in the villa; the weather (very hot); hiking the Richtis Gorge; a boat trip with Demetrius; a wonderful private chef night with Giorgios; enjoying drinks on the terrace and watching the sunset; our wonderful hosts, Nikos and Sofia. Nikos bas been a font of knowledge, always willing to listen and help (and appreciated) and Sofia’s breakfasts and hard work have been a wonder to behold. Thank you both. All in all a very relaxing, chilled stay (other than the drive down to Richtis beach, which is not for the faint-hearted!).

A wonderful stay at this beautiful villa with stunning views that offered everything we could have possibly wanted. Beautifully furnished and very relaxing. Wonderful breakfast each morning by Sofia, who was lovely. Nikos was always there to give advice and was very enthusiastic about sharing things to do in and around Mochlos, which is a beautiful port. Will definitely be returning to the area and this villa. First time with Simpson Travel and definitely not our last. Very relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa with its stunning views. We really appreciated the bonus of breakfast every morning and Sofia and Nikos were both friendly and helpful. Mochlos is charming; a peaceful place to sit and watch the sea. All the tavernas we visited were goo; great food and great value and service. We would love to come back.

What a fantastic week. The villa and the town of Mochlos are beautiful. Sophia’s breakfast every morning was a very special aspect of the holiday- lovely food and a beautiful person. Nikos was very knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. Hopefully we will return next year.

Another fabulous trip with Simpsons, we've had a wonderful stay at Kalloni, utilising all the amazing space and facilities. What made it even more special were the amazing breakfasts from Sofia which has been a great little luxury. Nikos has been super helpful and a great host, making our stay easy and relaxing.

Our first holiday using Simpson Travel certainly did not disappoint! The villa is incredible, with beautiful views and stunning scenery. We particularly enjoyed the pool and sunbeds. The breakfasts from Sofia were easily one of the best things about this holiday. Beautifully well prepared, yummy, and the outdoor kitchen is lovely. All in all a wonderful holiday that we'd definitely do again and recommend highly. Lots of fun and very relaxing.

First Simpson visitors in this villa, although we have been to many other Simpson villas in Mallorca and Greece. We loved the villa and the very comfortable outdoor area - the best sun loungers, as voted by our teenage daughters! The views are lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the tavernas in Mochlos. The real touch of special luxury was the amazing breakfasts prepared and served by Sofia - a real bonus. Nikos was also very attentive and helpful. He has a wealth of local info, and couldn't do enough to help give us a good stay.

The welcome pack on arrival was the best we have ever had in any Simpson villa we have stayed in. The accommodation was excellent - with a superb outdoor space with very comfortable loungers. A special mention must also go to Sofia who produced delicious breakfasts every day - with fresh local ingredients and was one of the highlights of our holiday (and we like our food!!).
