Contessa Hotel

TripAdvisor Review
Greece, Europe
Argassi

Sitting at just 200 m from the mesmerizing Argassi beach is this wonderful family-friendly hotel. The area around it provides everything guests may need for relaxation including restaurants, bars and shops, all just a short walk away. The nearest bus stop is only 100 metres away, while the city centre Argassi with its nightspots is a 5-minute walk away. Guests who want to explore the nearby town of Zante can hire a bicycle from the hotel and make an exciting trip out of it. The little guests who need a place where to let off steam will have their own children's playground, while the adults can relax in the excellent outdoor bar or enjoy the local cuisine and an excellent wine at the restaurant. The stylish, cosy and modern accommodations are ideal for a quiet and peaceful stay and they all feature either a balcony or a terrace.

Gem of a place

Spent a couple of days at contessa and all I can say is wow. Breakfast superb,staff excellent especially reception girls who was so helpful and pleasant. Yes extra to pay for aircon etc etc and this happens all over Greece so a tip always check with your booking operator and prices for any upgrades are the main for Greece. Snack bar food amazing as well as all the staff who work tirelessly to meet your needs. Cleaners all so friendly and do a fantastic job. Would I recommend this hotel definitely and in my opinion the best hotel in Argassi by far and I have stayed in plenty over the years.

Still one of the best hotels in Argassi

Unfortunately the hotel was fully booked so we were unable to stay there this year, but we decided to go and have a drink as we absolutely loved the poolbar atmosphere last year. Panos was the only one working at the time, and he couldn’t do enough for us. He remembered us from last year and spent time chatting. He is absolutely brilliant! He doesn’t stop working, yet still has time for the guests. Every hotel needs a Panos!

2026 holiday

What can I say about the contessa hotel, what a hidden gem this hotel is. Family run,owners and staff are so friendly,can't do enough for you. Nice sized rooms and clean. The big selling point is the sunbeds so comfortable. Can't wait to go back.

TripAdvisor Review
Amazing hotel

What an amazing hotel! The rooms are comfortable with big beds and are spotlessly clean. The pool area is great with plenty of comfortable loungers, some are shaded so when it gets too hot there's always somewhere to escape the heat! The food and drink available from the poolside bar is exceptional, and prices are competitive. What really makes this hotel standout is the staff, everyone is so friendly and helpful and they can't do enough for you, a special shout out to the lads working in the bar, their attention and service was exceptional. This is a special place...we will be back!

DO NOT STAY HERE. PICTURES ARE DECEIVING. RUDE STAFF! Save your money and go elsewhere

We arrived quite late to rude staff. We was unhappy with the hotel its very loud you get no sleep we then left the next day after paying 600 euros I asked for my money back but said I’d pay for one night stay where they refused even though I told them that we had a family emergency and we was flying back home. I said that I’m a single parent and I really needed the money however they said that they was keeping all the money and that I still owe them extra money, even though I wasn’t gonna be staying in the hotel any longer the staff were very rude. They made us feel very uncomfortable the pictures look so deceiving as the Hotel itself does not look like this. It’s very rundown very dirty very loud. The breakfast was awful. I paid them €600 in cash and I know that the staff kept my money and that it went to the staff member as I know that I could’ve been given a refund and not had to pay £600 for the whole day when I was happy to pay for one night’s day. It left me in the position where I couldn’t even feed my children while we were there.
