Beautiful hotel that I would honestly highly recommend to anyone. All the staff throughout the hotel are so pleasant and helpful. The cleaners are there every morning and evening to your room.

The cleaners are there every morning and evening to your room. Very good central location. Everything is with walking distance in Tsilivi. Also a great excursion sales shop directly across the road, where we hired: quads, dune buggy’s and a jeep car from. Parking available through a key card gate to the side, which was handy- as right next to our room. We were bed and breakfast: which was better for us, as we prefer to be out all day on excursions and eating out every night, but breakfast was good selection. [...]

The hotel is clean, modern, and stylish. Our ground floor room with a private garden bed was beautiful, though occasionally noisy from upstairs plumbing and passersby. Highlights: - Excellent breakfast buffet with diverse options - Friendly, quick service throughout the hotel - Great pool area, perfect for relaxing - Daily complimentary snacks (midday and evening) The hotel is clean, modern, and stylish. Our ground floor room with a private garden bed was beautiful, though occasionally noisy from upstairs plumbing and passersby. Highlights: - Excellent breakfast buffet with diverse options - Friendly, quick service throughout the hotel - Great pool area, perfect for relaxing - Daily complimentary snacks (midday and evening) - Thorough daily room cleaning Considerations: - A la carte dinner was high quality but pricey - Buffet dinner was average and bit expensive - Drinks and snacks at the pool are costlier than nearby options - Limited shade around the pool during peak hours Location is okay - on a side road off the main tourist strip. While not the island's prime spot, it feels safe and has potential. Overall, Contessina offers a great vacation experience with modern amenities and attentive service. A few improvements (like more pool shade) could make it perfect. Recommended for couples seeking a comfortable, stylish stay in Zakynthos!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ [...]
