We have stayed here 8 times (off week after next 27th Aug) now over the last five years or so and it really is the best hotel on the island, a good choice. All rooms we have stayed in have been modernised and decorated to good standards and I believe that rooms for 4 are ajoined so you should be ok.
If you contact Tina at the hotel she will tell you exactly - Tina is excellent and will answer all your questions!
Have just booked to stay at the Contessina in 2010. Please can anyone who has stayed in a room sleeping 4 tell me whether it is cramped and if there is enough wardrobe space? The rooms look lovely but it's hard to tell the size! My 'kids' will be 17 and 14 by the time we visit. Not that I'd change the booking - just interested to know! Thanks, Linda
Second time at the Contessina. We enjoyed it so much we have booked for next June.
Great hotel, very clean and the staff are very friendly. A special mention to young Marietta who served drinks at the pool bar in the evenings, a lovely young lady.
Agreed the age group is difficult to judge although my wife and i are approaching our 40's but agreed this is a great resort. Oh how it changes, Manos has now taken over Fat Olives just down the road and the Mainia restuarant is now an Italian and to top it, Alex's fruit and veg shop opposite the Contessina is now a burger bar. More and more are taking away rather than eating out, although still the best place on the island.
Enjoy and hope the euro picks up to make it cost effective to travel to this island.
Just returned to the uk after two weeks at the Contessina.Both B and I had a wonderful time, Most of the rooms have been reconditioned, and are always clean from the army of staff, well done. Both Nicos and Illias remembered us from two years ago and made us most welcome. The receptionists, Diana and Rosa were always helpful and friendly. My only critiscism were the extra's, fridge was 4 euros a day, aircon was 7 euros a day and the safe was 20 euros a week, which added a considerable sum to the cost of the holiday. I also understand there will be a large price hike next year which will make the hotel less attractive for those on a budget.. the breakfast was average, not always hot and quality was not that good. You can get a good breakfast next door for 5 euros
Hi Mark We have been going to Tsilivi for a number of years up to 2007 so we know our way around,however I know that places change as do the tavernas etc. so it is good to read other people thoughts/views but I do not tend to take them too seriously as each & everyone of us have different tastes and we do not know the age groups who write these comments. My wife & I are in our sixties however we are young at heart and not fuddy duddies. Have A fantasic holiday & hope to read more of your comments on your return.
No Worries, have you been before? If not recommend a drink next door with Spirios at the sunset!
Theirs a new Itailian on the corner up from the hotel also, that's also very good. Other great resteraunts include: Nemesis, Manos now where Fat Olives was, Zues and Valentino's Castle which is a bit of a walk to the other end but worth it all the same - very authentic!
As far as i am aware all rooms have been done. We have stopped in all three buildings and all have been done. Seriously - this is a great hotel. We're there on the 27th August this year again!
Sixth year at the Contessina Hotel and sixth fantastic holiday thanks to the management and staff of the Contessina Hotel. We will be booking again for next year as soon as possible.
The only good thing about having to come home is that you can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome when you return next year.
This is our 7th time to the Contessina and the 8th time to Tsilivi and if you are looking for confirmation that this Hotel is a good one then you need look for any more than this!
Benidorm, Alcudia, Kos, and then there is Zante.............Enjoy you will!
Great hotel - situated close to beach, shops, bars, etc; polite, welcoming staff; clean facilities - what more could you ask for? However, if you want to spend some time by the pool, make sure you're there early as other holidaymakers reserve a sun-lounger by placing a towel on it - despite requests from the hotel staff not to do so! Was often tempted to gather up all the towels and dump them somewhere!
