Hotel Contessina

Lovely hotel with an amazing team of staff. Loved the facilities and amenities, the dining options are very nice, and the staff are beyond helpful. Also loved how the hotel is friendly to neighbourhood animals, had an amazing time there

Great conditioned hotel. Staff were excellent. I can highly recommend this hotel

This property is lovely, in a perfect location, and the staff were lovely as was the breakfast. Certain parts of our stay were not so good, and when considering the cost to stay, the problems we encountered should have been dealt with quicker and more efficiently. You can only say sorry so many times before accepting there are failings.

Fantastic hotel with wonderful service

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful hotel! For our 25th anniversary, they surprised us with an upgrade from the standard Contessina Hotel to Contessina Suites and Spa and gave us a room with our own private pool, it was absolutely amazing. They also welcomed us with a bottle of wine and provided several great discounts throughout the hotel. The included breakfast was a highlight, with fresh-squeezed juices and a delicious spread I looked forward to every morning. But the best part? The staff who were all friendly, helpful, and genuinely courteous. Don’t even hesitate — stay here. Highly recommended!

It was absolutely gorgeous! The staff was fantastic and the breakfast was epic!

Everything was great. Hotel and amenities were incredible. Walking distance to everything. Breakfast was excellent. Had everything you could ask for. Can't say anything bad about this place. They keep a very high standard. Staff was kind and professional. Plenty parking

Nice rooms, plenty of swimming pools, very good breakfast.

Excellent hotel. Superb in every way

Friendly staff

The property is nice and clean , staffs are helpful and friendly!

Fantastic place!! Beautiful, extremely well maintained, amazing staff. Nothing bad to say, only good!!

Amazing place!!! Great location!

We fell in love with the place the moment we got there! Service was excellent, food so good and diverse (changed every night for dinner - we got half board). Everything is so aesthetic and beautiful, makes you want to stay by the pool all day. Would definitely come back if we're back on this island

We had a great stay here, can't fault this Hotel in any way, one of the best Hotels I have ever stayed at!

The hotel Contessina was fantastic place to stay. The hotel suites were beautiful and very comfortable accommodations. This hotel is in a great location were you can walk to many great restaurants and the beach is a 5 minute walk. This hotel had a few public pools as well as private pools with the suites. I look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful rooms, gorgeous pool, close to restaurants and shops

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Contessina in Greece. The resort offers top-notch customer service, spacious rooms, and a delicious breakfast spread each morning. Everything was clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. One thing to note: this is definitely a couples- and family-oriented hotel, so if you're traveling solo, you may feel a bit out of place at times. That said, it's still a beautiful and welcoming place to stay — I’d absolutely recommend it!

Very beautiful hotel,and every service was good

We had such an amazing time at Contessina celebrating our anniversary/my partners belated birthday. As soon as we arrived the staff were so lovely and welcoming – we were delighted to be given an upgraded room with a private pool this truly made our trip extra special and we were so grateful for that!! Overall the ambience of the hotel is sooo peaceful, from the well equipped gym, the gorgeous poolside bar and chill areas to the exquisite breakfast. This hotel is a must stay in Zakynthos! We wanted to say a special thanks to Christina at the bar who made the best cocktails and was truly a ray of sunshine to see every day! Thanks again to everyone at the hotel who made our trip so special – we will be back hopefully very soon! Thanks again, Gaby & Dom x

The breakfast spread is a beautiful sight, with every nut, grain, and dried fruit neatly stored in glass jars. The table is set with speckled plates and fine china, adding a touch of elegance. The rattan and wooden furniture, in warm beige, brown, and stone tones, create a cozy and natural atmosphere. The vines draping over the balcony bring a lush, botanical feel that adds to the charm of the space. The staff are incredible. The staff here are genuinely friendly, always smiling, and approachable. I've met such simple, yet happy and beautiful souls—an experience that has been truly eye-opening. I came here seeking solitude, and I've found the perfect space to unwind and recharge. The scenery is breathtaking; the beach is a serene retreat with its fresh, calming atmosphere. I could easily spend the entire day there, listening to the rhythmic crash of waves against the shore, just me, my book, and the gentle hum of people laughing, swimming, and chatting with loved ones. I’m not ready to leave yet, but I know I’ll be back again.

A estadia foi espetacular! Atendimento nota mil, você se sente cuidado e acolhido! O hotel é excelente, os atendentes são profissionais excepcionais e eles nos deram um upgrade no quarto ainda por cima.

Absolutely stunning hotel, with great design aesthetic. It's an oasis of calm in quite a hectic area. Lovely pool areas and the food at breakfast and dinner (we went half board) was delicious. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options in the evening. The gym was small, but adequate (had Smith and cable machines). The bed was on the small side, at 6'4" / 193cm, I hung off the end but that was the only niggle!

Our flight to Zakinthos from Athens had to return to Athens due to inclimate weather so we let the hotel know that we would not arrive until the next day. The hotel staff assured us that our rooms would be ready and waiting for us when we got there. Upon arrival, we were told the rooms would be freshened up before we received the key. We were told to go to the breakfast buffet and have a meal. After waiting over an hour for a “room refresh”, we realized that the rooms were most likely used by other customers who were to check out by 11:00 and that was why we had to wait. This means the hotel probably was double paid for our rooms for the night we missed. My daughter went to the front desk and complained and magically our rooms became “refreshed” within about 30 minutes. Just enough time to flip the rooms used that night by other hotel patrons! Not a good look!!!

.

Lovely clean hotel, very central in the town and loads to do nearby. Only let down by some bar staff - crazy long wait for drinks despite at not being busy at all

Incredible

Great property. Friendly staff. Clean. Nothing to dislike and very much recommend. Food was also excellent.

La struttura abbraccia nel design,gli atteggiamento del personale la filosofia di calma e quiete coerente con il ritmo calmo dell’isola di Zante. 5 stelle!

Wow what a hotel exceeded my expectations in every way except could do with british bacon and sausage for brecky

Thank you for the upgrade

Wonderful hotel and great service

Beautiful hotel and wonderful service. We were happy with everything

Hotel lindo. Porém o jantar é desolador.no primeiro dia a única carne era hambúrguer e gyros. Ou seja comida de criança para um hotel de 5 estrelas caro.nem arroz simples nada.muito fraco o buffet.bebidas absurdamente caras.qualidade preço não justifica

We liked the hotel it had limited space as a whole and although there was parking it was a challenge to get in and out. Overall crowded and small hotel. Very clean but the pools were full of people with no space between areas felt very small as a whole. Would love something a bit more private next time

The property is a 1st class clean establishment for singles or families

Would visit again

Amazing stay at Contessina. Beautiful property, rooms and surroundings. Very friendly staff.

Excellent hotel, with amazing service

Brilliant hotel. Would definitely recommend

Struttura molto bella, camere confortevoli e silenziose, servizi eccellenti. Pulizie impeccabili. Buffet della colazione con ottima scelta sia di dolce sia di salato e personale di sala molto attento e premuroso. A noi è stata assegnata una camera con piscina semi-privata perfetta per un maggiore relax. Ottimo soggiorno!

This is a fabulous property in terms of their amenities and staff. The rooms are modern, very clean and super comfortable (bed, linens, etc.). The staff is incredible, especially Maria from the front desk--who made so many arrangements for us--and always had a smile on her face. Our only disappointment, which is not the hotel's fault, is that the beach close by is not the greatest. We ended up driving to Kalamaki beach every day (30 minutes away). And while it's a matter of personal taste, the town of Tsilivi (where the property is located) is overcrowded and full of average or less restaurants. The only one we found more than worthy of eating at was "Halfway House," which was fantastic.

A wonderful experience, our room was upgraded, the staff were kind and efficient. The food was fresh and delicious. The pools were gorgeous. It was a real delight to stay there and we will be back.

Hotel vraiment très bien un vrai 5 etoiles.

I could give them 10 stars if I could.. was amazing service, facilities, free gifts. Thank you so much!

Wunderschönes Hotel! Unser Zimmer war direkt am Restaurant und daher etwas laut, aber sonst alles top.

Just perfect!!!

Fantastic stay. We received an upgraded room upon arrival which was a really great start to our trip. The private pool at our room was secluded and lovely. The rooms are modern and have everything you needed. The gym was not the biggest but had everything you would need to train. The pools are all very nice and very clean and the food in the restaurant and at breakfast was absolutely fantastic everytime we ate there. We would definitely recommend this place

Great location in Planos. Two pool options to choose from.

Lovely modern hotel and the nicest we saw in the whole area. Great breakfast - wide variety of hot and cold foods Comfy beds Great in room facilities - Nespresso, cosmetics, dressing gowns, slippers, air con and ceiling fan, TV, Wi-Fi, safe. Swim up rooms - -absolutely beautiful Hotel has a lovely aroma from the moment you walk in. App to order drinks to the sun lounger works well Cons -Food around the pool arrived cold both times we ordered. (Cold chips, cold gyros isn’t pleasant). Just outside the hotel in both directions are lots of restaurants and bars serving hot fresh food. -Late check out is pricey!

Excellent hotel, probably the best on the island all round. We chose this hotel over others primarily because of location (close to food, beach and a port), and, among others of its class, this property looked the most modern with a clean bathroom. The photos honestly don’t do the hotel justice in terms of looks and comfort. There were two great swimming pools. We had a private pool too. We saw the hotel being cleaned thoroughly daily, from the pool to mopping the stone floors outdoors. Staff are amazing and so is the buffet breakfast every morning.

Hotel was beautiful! Highly recommend!

The service and staff were exceptional. Staff was always very helpful and kind. Highly recommend staying at the Hotel Contessina when visiting Zakynthos.

This property felt like a dream. The decor is chic without being overly modern. There is a perfect balance to the decor with an abundance of beautiful plants everywhere. The location is excellent - walking distance to the sea and close to the strip of restaurants, cafes, bars, mini golf, arcade, shops, grocery stores - everything you need. The staff is passionate about what they do and will do anything you need to help you. We went to town for dinner each night so didn’t have an opportunity to eat at the rooftop restaurant but the food at the sushi restaurant and pool restaurant were excellent. Great options for all - I am a vegetarian so always felt like I had options - even at breakfast. There is a beautiful vegetable garden on site and many herb bushes used for the food and drinks. The pool and poolside vibe was great for all and we always felt comfortable with our young kids playing and splashing sun bathers from time to time! No one seemed to mind. There are plenty of pool loungers and we always found a spot no matter what time we came down. The entire property was impeccably clean. The bedroom setup was the best we have yet experienced for a family of 4. Both of our boys had their own sofa beds in what felt like a separate room (without a wall) and a balcony and we had our own balcony also. The spa was excellent- a must visit for an extra touch of pampering! All in all - my family and I had the best vacation here and I would recommend it to anyone. A true gem!

Fabulous hotel with excellent level of customer service. We went as 2 family of 4 ( teenagers and a 3 year old in the group) and the hotel was a great place to stay with kids pool and adult pool. Location was walking distance to lots of beaches and shops. We had the garden pool room which was a lot more money than the average room and was nice but perhaps we wouldn’t do that option again and choose a normal family suite as the pool room was a little on the small side for 4 people and Wardrobe space was tight. But that was the only thing we have to stay otherwise we really liked the hotel.

Contessina was a delight! Thank you for a wonderful week (too short) for our family of four. The food and service was immaculate and our garden suite room with pool was lovely

Amazing boutique hotel at an amazing price. The staff was exceptional and the property is so beautiful. The breakfast buffet was out of this world. I’ve never seen such a buffet. Must have had over 50 items with everything including a dessert section. Very unusual items and great presentation. They upgraded both our rooms to spa tub inside room. Very relaxing atmosphere and plush. It was a real pleasure staying here.

Hotel Contessina is high quality hotel with very good service, higher than four stars. Compliments for the team! The hotel is new and modern designed, with very good landscaping. Every terrace has luxuriant vegetation. The hotel is extremely clean. The rooms are comfortable, some of them have their own pool. The breakfast is with good variety and good quality of food. Only one minus: in the hotel’s website is written that dinner is buffet. But it is not. It is on set-menu, but with not enough options and not consistent with food allergies. The dinner is a little like in students canteen. But when we made a complaint, they restored the money for the dinner in our room’s bill, so we could order food and beverage. So my advice is book a room with breakfast only. Everything else was perfect!

A lovely property, we were upgraded to a private pool room which was fantastic. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The property was close to the beach and restaurants.

Amazing staff and very helpful

I had a fantastic stay at the Contessina the food was amazing a very zen hotel if you want a relaxing break

I took a solo trip and stayed there for four nights and it was nothing short of magnificent. I requested early check-in before my arrival and I was able to check in 4 hours before the specified time. My room was spacious and luxurious. I booked the half board option and the food was absolutely phenomenal. The staff were genuinely friendly and really went out of their way to make sure that I enjoyed my stay. I would absolutely go back there!

Beautifully renovated property with an attention to design details. The hotel is located in the busy Tsilivi area, but you feel more like in an oasis at the hotel itself. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful! The room is on the small/tight side, but has a closet to stow away your clothes. Breakfast buffet was also great, with a lot of tasty food and options. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great staff, beautiful pool area. Room for improvement would be for the bedsheets.

Perfect!!!!

The staff Is absolutely amazing! The hotel is beautiful and super comfortable We will definitely come back :)

Hotel is new, modern, and extremely clean. Highly recommend!

This was my first vacation since 2019. And was great. Very good hotel, beautiful pool area. Quiet. Very clean. Safe. Everybody wear masks. The staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is open and the air is circulating. We received an upgrade and the room was fantastic with a pool. Only one thing: there are no many choices for dinner. It’s on a set menu with gourmet variations, but there can be more choices. But our stay was great. I will recommend the hotel to my friends.

Had an absolutely fantastic stay in this hotel. The hotel is very welcoming with an airy reception. Staff are fantastic and cannot do enough for you. On arrival we were allocated room 112. The room itself was spacious and spotless but the outlook was the stairwell of the next block and was over the kitchen. When we spoke to reception they arranged to move us the next day, no problem. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. They are cleaned regularly The pool area is lovely and had plenty of sun beds and shades. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, which due to covid was selected from the menu and plated up by a staff member. The staff are what really make this hotel, friendly, attentive, courteous and hard working. It is hard to pick out anyone in particular they all play their part in making this a very welcoming place. It is located in a quieter part of the resort but there are still plenty of restaurants and bars close by with our favourite being the Liminaki, due in equal parts to its location, food and excellent service. This hotel and resort are definitely on our return to list.

It was lovely and relaxing. Hotel was clean, food was tasty and the staff were great and made the whole experience - especially Anastasia and Panos!

Close to the beach and really clean! Aso has nice music at the pool side.

Absolutely amazing stay at the hotel, beautiful rooms and hotel and amazing staff that can’t do enough for you! We stayed as a group of 7 friends and had the best time on the island. Would definitely recommend! Anastasia was amazing and has the best service alongside the bar staff and managers.

Waiting in line for breakfast due to COVID-19 is acceptable but for sure not so reassuring. Coffe and Tea set is also for request and should be in all rooms.

Incredible 4 star hotel, lovely decor, great rooms and excellent service. Could not fault my stay here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

The hotel is newly renovated and really modern, service was great and the breakfast is not bad. Rooms are a bit small but acceptable

The staff was amazing, great location very close to the airport. Breskfast Buffett was very good

Newly renovated hotel. A 5 star hotel. Very modern and comfortable. Room is very clean. Staff is helpful and friendly. Love the breakfast buffet and swimming pool. Highly recommend.

Lovely comfortable hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Short 2 min walk to the beach in one direction and then shops in the other. Only downside was that you could hear all the noise from other guests if they were in the hallway as it echoed.

Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Fotini. We had booked a double room which is compact but well designed to have enough space. Very nice modern design and clean. Staff members Christo and Eri were great! Overall beautiful modern hotel, free parking which is a big plus, very nice pool, great staff and great location surrended with many restaurants and only a 10 minute drive to Zakynthos town. Would definitely stay here again.

Sparkling clean and brand new. Renovations completed recently so don’t let the photos on other websites put you off from booking. Great breakfast and outstanding customer service. Only downside is if you’re looking to stay of the touristy area in Zante this might not be your first choice. Convenience of restaurants and bars at walking distance is important but also quite busy at night.

Very good mordern hotel for the money.

Amazing hotel. Spotlessly clean. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Towels changed twice a day! Clean sheets every other day 😍. 1 negative - nowhere to hang anything on the balcony to dry so everyone hangs stuff on the glass which detracts the image of the modern hotel. A simple pull out airer would be perfect.

Location is nice , the swimming pool looked fab as well as the unusual sun loungers. Breakfast offers great choice, the girls at reception were very friendly , professional and helpful. The whole building is kept clean and airy. Thank you to the sweet lady at breakfast ho d get me my lemons! Didn’t enjoy the placing of towels to “ reserve” sunbed. The lack of trees “ garden” . Breakfast time the tables are a little too close ( inside) Our bedroom was ok but lacked style,though big balcony but small bathroom it had partial view to the pool. The bed was very confortable though and the towels were nice and fluffy. In general a nice place to enjoy for a few days...

Great week, good location away from the noisy part of town but easy access. Lovely room with great sunshine on the balcony.

Just back from an 11 night stay in this fantastic hotel . Had a lovely room overlooking the pool - it was both spacious and spotless, cleaned on a daily basis. The staff in this hotel from check in to catering to cleaners to bar staff are first class. Always so friendly and courteous meeting you with s smile st all times. Breakfast was excellent with great choices off hot and cold which was continually replenished. The hotel had a lovely clean pool area and we loved the location - 5 minutes to the sea 1 minute to the supermarket. Just in a side road off the main road with an abundance of supermarkets and restaurants very close by. They have a lovely lunch menu with freshly cooked options and a lovely bar manned by the every charming Sot and side kick Alex. Overall we had a wonderful holiday here and highly recommend this hotel

Hotel Contessina is perfect for a family vacation: perfect location within a walking distance to the beach and some great restuarants and bars, great pool and bar and a rich breakfast buffet. The hotel is spotless, rooms are clean a spaciou, and staff is very helpful and friendly.

Great location in the heart of Tsilivi near to everything. Hotel room was clean bright spacious and with lots of storage space and very modern effective and quiet air conditioning free of charge. Breakfast was plentiful and relaxed and dining room extended to the pool area which was kept cool by day and uncovered at night to give a very comfortable area around the bar where fellow guests were very sociable. Lots of families given it was August but although busy (and we were a couple in our 60's ) we found it very enjoyable and not at all noisy or rowdy. All the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly too. For overall experience, quality location and price I would highly recommend it

Good, clean, comfortable hotel central to Tsilivi.

Clean comfortable hotel in good position. All staff excellent and attentive

Having never been to Zante, we chose this hotels on previous reviews. Luckily they were spot on! We are a family with two adults and two teens and had an interconnecting room (room 202). The room faced out towards the front of the hotel so was a quieter room. There is a huge balcony connecting the two rooms at the front too. Breakfast was included and consisted of a hot buffet and continental choices and the usual juices and Tea/coffee. There is also a bar which served alcohol and during the day you could order food, prices were reasonable. Staff were excellent and dealt with all queries efficiently and helped us throughout our stay- special mention to Nikos, Nikki and Fotini who were on reception. And *Rita” and Eri who worked in the bar.

The hotel is conveniently located, just 5 minutes walk from the Tsilivi Beach. It has a lively bar and pool area, and the neighborhood is also vibrant. Throughout the night you might be hearing live music from the bars, which is great if you love the night life. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The only thing that was less convenient was the door of our room - We had to push/pull really hard and lock the door, otherwise the door opens.

First time in Zante. We loved both the hotel and the location. The rooms were cleaned daily to a high level. The service in the lobby and the bar was very good. Pool area was very good too. Most of all we enjoyed the location. Everything we required including the beach was close to hand. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Hotel was great, but not happy with Expedia, we got to the hotel at 5 in the morning and was told that we would have to wait till 2 o’clock in the afternoon to check in, we booked it as a package deal so didn’t expect to have to sit in reception having no sleep waiting around with our cases

Spotlessly clean hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. There are lots of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. It is also very convenient for the beach. We chose not to use the poolside loungers, mainly because we refused to engage in the practice of blocking a bed by placing a towel on one before 8am, regardless of when we intended to use it. It is obvious that this practice has been a problem for some, time which the management has failed to address!

This hotel is at the edge of the main part of Tsilivi so very convenient for the restaurants and bars but a little quieter because it's off the main drag. It's also only 100m to the lovely beaches.The hotel itself could not be rated higher for cleanliness, helpfulness of the staff, a great choice for breakfast, the room and a lovely swimming pool and area. Just watch the sunbed reservers out first thing even though the hotel specifically states that beds should not be reserved!

Arrived very early morning and hotel staff worked hard to get a room available early and provided us the extra breakfasts with no extra charge. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Pool area was always popular but sun beds available if getting to pool before 10am or after 3pm. Staff were very friendly and approachable for advice and for restaurant recommendations. Nearly all rooms have a pool view.

This is the first time we have stayed here and I have to say most impressive. Our room was lovely though an inward facing room would have been much better. We booked late so that was fine. Staff very helpful and nice to talk to. The Pool and surrounding area was good. We went in term time and not too many children making a noise and little ;vinyl clogging up the pool itself.

Lovely hotel, great location, great service.

Have stayed a number of times and allways excellent.

This is a very welcoming small hotel which we have visited every year over the last 4 years and a place where we meet a number of people who also return regularly. We like the fact that it is B&B and has a good choice of breakfast so that in the evening we can visit the tavernas to eat. Everyone from housekeeping, reception, bar and waiting staff provide excellent service and can't do enough for you. It is well located near the beach and several tavernas.
