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!

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

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.
