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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Fabulous holiday .

Stayed 7 nights in June and we had a fabulous holiday in a lovely room with a pool view . We stayed in room 414 which in a separate block from the main hotel . This could be tricky if you've got mobility issues as there are no lifts here or ramps . We were on the first floor and access was via a spiral staircase . Room was spotless and very modern and the housekeepers done a fantastic job . Pool was beautiful never a problem with sunloungers , yes quite a few were shaded but as the sun moves around during the day they all get some sun . Pool bar was good with excellent staff and food . Breakfast was very good and well varied , only criticism is the position of the juice and coffee machines can cause a bottleneck . Staff at reception were helpful for any requests . Personally I think it more 4 star than 3 star . Extra for air-conditioning , safe and fridge but knew this when booking as some guests were complaining but that's down to there travel agent not passing this information beforehand . Short walk to shops and restaurants .
