  If you are after a brilliant holiday along with a brilliant, clean and very friendly Hotel then look no more that Hotel CONTESSA in Argassi, Zakynthos.

 
This is my first time in Argassi and I was very impressed with the position of the Hotel, the cleanliness and the very friendly staff.  I would DEFINATELY go back.
 
A1 Holiday not to be forgotten.

Since 1992 my husband and I have visiting Argassi and we are still visiting after all these years.  Infact we have only just returned dated 23rd May 2005 after a 2 week vacation.

 
The Hotel that I would personally recommend is Hotel CONTESSA - the staff are extremely friendly and all speak excellent English. The swimming pool is set in a truly relaxing location of the Hotel, which allows you peace, quiet and away from traffic - this is also lit-up at night (good for photographs at night).  The hotel rooms have adequate space and are expectionally clean with CARPETS throughout (this I have never seen before abroad).
 
In the evening's you can take yourself to the Hotel Bar, whereby you will be met by Anthony a good looking Head Bar Person (aged 29 years and again speaks excellent English), and after your evening out you can return to the Hotel Bar for a relaxing nightcap or alcohlic beverage before surrending yourself to bed.
 
SHOULD YOU WISH FOR A TRULY UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY, THEN PLEASE BELIEVE ME THIS IS THE BEST HOTEL IN ARGASSI.  IF YOUR HOLIDAY STARTS IN SEPTEMBER AND YOU VISIT HOTEL CONTESSA THEN LOOK OUT FOR ME BECAUSE, YES MY HUSBAND & I ARE RETURNING YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

stayed at the hotel last year and loved it. staff and owner were extremely helpfull at all times and made us feel welcome from the first minute.  complaints of noise and sellers on the streets are unfair because i am a regular visitor of zante and its other resorts, and this is part and parcel in that area.if you want a peaceful holiday; you will get one here, the place is seriosly laid back and the locals are so nice you wont want to go home. all i will say is, don't knock it till you try it!

Just back from Argassi and I thought that Hotel Contessa was lovely. The swimming pool is fab, air conditioned rooms and the staff are lovely and friendly.
Argassi is a fantastic spot and don't forget to visit Beer Academy.

Has anyone got anything nice to say about Hotel Contessa?. Any pics?

Average location as we had to dodge all the touts every time we wanted to go anywhere. A short walk down the hill would mean at least 7/8 encounters with touts/street sellers - not good when you want to relax. Quietness - what quietness? The pool bar had music blasting from around 9.30am - 6/7pm and we couldn't escape into the resort either as that was just noise noise noise too. Our room was falling to bits, we even had a pane of glass fall out of the patio window as they were only held in with tacks where the putty had dried up and just about flaked away. The hotel was kept clean though. The maids came daily and did a good job. As for the other staff - most days I think they got out of bed on the wrong side. All we can say is beautiful island, disappointing resort. If you want peace and relaxation with an option of things to do, our advice - Alykes - also in Zante, this was quiet, tranquil, soft white sand, clear blue sea and picturesque village. Our memories of Argassi, noise, rubbish, street sellers, stress, boredom. The sea didn't even look as clean as you would expect and beach - what a joke! Would never go back. Some very good restaurants though, our favourites were DJ Taverna, Zorbas, belt buster. Best bars - Red Lion and bar Academy.

Hi, I was the rep for Airtours last year at the Contessa and it is lovely. The staff are all very friendly and helpful the rooms are basic but comfortable and the pool is peaceful to sun bathe around. The hotel is superbly positioned in resort as the clubs, restaurants and shops are a two minute walk down the road. Happy holidays.

WE FOUND THIS HOTEL BASIC, BUT VERY CLEAN(MAIDS CAME AND CLEANED DAILY).
EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. KIDS ADORED THE SWIMMING POOLS AND THERE WAS BEACH BALLS PROVIDED FOR A BIT OF FUN!
ABOUT 5-10 MIN WALK TO THE BEACH, BUT WE FOUND ITS LOCATION IDEAL FOR US!
WOULD GO BACK!!!!

Hi Chris B, hope you enjoyed the remainder of your holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel from 7th-21st May 2001. Odi at the pool bar and Spiros in the hotel bar are very friendly people who you'll get to know really well. (Ask Odi if he's ever going to bet against Liverpool FC again). If you're travelling home on an early morning flight, it's adviseable to keep your room on for a further night. Our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and highly recommend it. The rooms are basic, but if you want luxury, then go somewhere else. We'd go back again.

Hi Robert re Contessa hotel It is essential that you book your extra day for a room on arrival or there abouts with reception. Been through this senario, lot of people trying to do the same as you. They are most accomodating. I'm in Argassi just after you from the 16th to 30th. Have a nice time Chris Blackmur

I've booked a holiday to stay at the Contessa between the 6th and the 13th of May. My flight out leaves at 7am on the 15th of may... Pick up at 4:30 / 5:00am ? Is it possible that I can book an extra night / bribe the cleaning staff so that I have a bed for the night..... Please advise. THIS IS A CRISIS!! Help!

Nice clean friendly Bed and Breakfast JMC hotel. Main pool and kiddies pool. Hotel is located about 10 mins slow walk from the beach and coast road. Have stayed there 3 times so far ! Guest's return to this hotel. Beach is not much but plenty of better beaches at Laganas, Kalamaki and Tsilivi by car taxi or bike. Staff at reception very friendy / helpful as are both "Odi" (at Pool Bar)and "Spyros" (at the evening hotel bar) both very nice people and mention my name "Chris" to them both. "Odi" will tell you the best bars and clubs locally and in nearby Laganas. "Spyros" will tell you the best places to eat out in the evening. Boat trips and water sports available. Boat trip to "the wreck" is worth a mention as is the boat trip to Kefalonia. The "Target" (top of the hill) is very good Greek night out... good value, fixed price and drink as much wine as you can ! superb view of resort from here at night. Have a nice time.
