The deal means that when combined with the assets it bought from Exclusive Escapes earlier this year, the operator has made a big increase in the destinations now on offer, which now includes Greece, Turkey, Corsica and Ibiza.
Former Exclusive Escapes properties are now being featured in Simpson’s Turkey portfolio for 2016 while a new French programme is being introduced to run alongside Dominique’s Villas own website.
The Cottages to Castles programme will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand throughout next year
Dominique Wells, the founder of Dominique’s Villas, and Jonathan and Daniela Magoni, who were the original owners of Cottages to Castles, will all remain on board to ensure continuity.
Simpson Travel managing director Graham Simpson said: “We are delighted to announce these two new acquisitions.
“Since our launch in 2003, Simpson Travel has continued to grow and we have a high volume of repeat clients who we know will welcome these new destinations.
“As a company, our ethos is firmly grounded in offering quality service and a diverse choice of properties to our clients.
