Contessa Hotel

Fabulous hotel with lovely staff. Rooms are cleaned every day and the hotel and grounds are spotless. Breakfast is included and there is a good range catering for all tastes. The rooms are recently renovated and are modern and bright. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Argassi!

We've travelled all around Zakynthos and really do not need to return - yet we've booked again for next year. Why? The hotel is well managed, in a quieter location, very clean and provides lovely food but it is the whole Contessa team who make the difference. The reception team are happy to help day or night, the fantastic pool bar team (Marios, Panos , Petros, Ellie and evening cook) always going over and above to make our holidays special. Rooms are cleaned daily with towel change every other day by the efficient and friendly cleaning team. Chef and the restaurant team create delicious food every night - from Zakynthian dishes and Italian to perfect BBQ. (Chicken souvlaki and orange cake my particular favourites). Can't wait to return for a 4th time in Sept 2025. Natalie & Paul.

The hotel grounds are Lovely, however we booked a family off 4 aimed got a double room with old dirty broken bunkbeds. Spoke to receptionist, they contracted the holiday company 2 months before to tell them they couldn’t accommodate us but nobody told us until we checked in and it complained. Had a broken hairdryer and the sink pipe was cracked meaning our sink leaked every time the tap was on, also had a dirty floor from the day we checked in. Lydia ( receptionist) curry friendly and helpful however the evening receptionist was rude, dismissive and overall nonchalant about the whole situation. Eventually the holiday company moved us. Nice pool but they allow towels on beds from early hours and they ar left there all day. Great location

Second year running in this hotel and still loved it just as much as last time can’t fault anything at all spotless and clean lovely helpful friendly staff pool great size plenty of room for everyone poolside food delicious and very reasonably priced can’t wait to book for next year thank you again for our lovely holiday xxx

We’ve been back a few days now and I miss the place so much! Firstly - location; amazing, at the top of a crossroads at the end of which - to the left and right - are a number of bars and restaurants to choose from, we were spoiled for choice for a week. Highly recommend Peppermint (opposite the church to the left, on the street behind the main) and Orange (which is also to the right in the main road). We didn’t have any bad food though. 10 mins to Zakynthos town which is well worth a visit. 15 mins to St Nicholas beach - also recommended. There is no real beach in Argasi itself just a very thin *****, but there are some lovely bars you can sit at on the front whilst watching the sea. Now onto the hotel: - spotlessly clean (rooms made up every day, towels changed every other). - breakfast: great choice of hot and cold food, eggs, sausages, veg, fruit, yoghurt etc. very busy even in October so imagine in summer it’s even more so but you just go with it - showers: constantly hot water and great water pressure - rooms: we were given chance to upgrade and we chose not to, the ‘basic’ rooms are fine for what we wanted, we were on floor one (basement) with a garden view - it wasn’t really a garden more a ***** of green with lime trees but we loved it as nice and quiet and felt like we were cocooned away from main hotel - pool area: spacious, modern, clean. The food menu had loads of choice and came quickly - compliments to the chef who worked very hard all day - staff : this is what made it for us. They weren’t overbearing and wouldn’t bother you if you didn’t want to chat etc, but we did and every night we had a nightcap by the pool bar, the gents there worked so so hard, all day every day making people feel welcome and comfortable, never experienced such good service on any holiday before. Overall this is a very very good 3* hotel, I’d say at the top end if not pushing 4*. It’s unpretentious but clean, spacious, welcoming and friendly. We’re not the type of couple to revisit same hotels but for this we’d probably make an exception.

Another great stay ,hotel is spotless, staff really helpful, bar great and bar food good ,big hello to Lydia lovely as ever ,missed Spirios this year hopefully he will be back ,hotel in great location ,hopefully we will be back next year, yamas
