Zante Calinica Hotel

Myself, husband & two kids (13 & 7) have spent 2 amazing weeks at the Zante Calinica hotel. The family run hotel, with just 25 rooms is run with passion & determination to make everyone welcome. We had the 2 bed apartment in the main hotel block, modern & plenty of room with a large wrap around balcony, stunning views both out to the sea & inland. The hotel itself is nestled just on the edge of Tsilivi, and in my opinion, the best location in town. Away from the traffic & hustle and bustle, but still less than 10 mins walk to the restaurants & bars, with the beach just a little further, no issue even in the August heat. The breakfast is a homemade feast of hot & cold delights, something for all. The daily bakes of cupcakes & cookies are a lovely touch, and the choice of homemade jams is beyond anything I’ve seen! The pool area was impeccably clean and never crowded, it had plenty of space & sun-beds always available. A quiet retreat (I fear we were probably the noisiest!!) with a well stocked pool bar, that offered delicious meals all day and my son’s highlight, a slushy maker with dozens of flavours!! It was our first time to Greece with the children, the Zante Calinica made it one of our best holidays. I would return in a heartbeat and encourage anyone reading this not to hesitate with booking this hotel.

The breakfast was very good; the beds were super comfortable; the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, as all the other reviews state. The family is really dedicated to the business and customer satisfaction and went out of their way to help us (even allowing early check-in to let our kids nap!).

The hotel looks absolutely beautiful both inside and outside the premises, the pool was 10/10, beds were amazing, we had the sea view room which was stunning! we stayed for 10 days with family and friends for our destination wedding and everyone absolutely loved everything- from the rooms to the amazing people that work there. It’s a family run hotel and they made sure we had a great time and accommodated our every need! The hotel is located in a really good and calm area which makes it perfect for couples or families, the food amazing both for breakfast and room service 10/10! Special shoutout to Dimitra (absolute goddess), Dionisis (this guy is amazing, honestly), the younger brother, the little sister and the mom (makes the best strawberry jam!) Sorry, we can’t remember all the names. You’re all amazing! thank you thank you!! we’ll be back!!

The hotel was placed in really nice area close to the beach and local restaurants. The room was clean and spacious with an iron and iron board which was really helpful for long stay. The balcony was spacious with the pool looking small but was big enough. It worths the value. We did order food from room service, they have an online system so you can check order status, and the food was amazing, hot and tasty. It is a must try. And not expensive at all compared to restaurants prices. The staff was lovely and really helpful.

Absolutely outstanding! Amazing family run Hotel, so friendly and go above and beyond to make your stay the best it can possibly be. The hotel is immaculate, the pool is perfect, always has sunbeds available, immaculate & clean. Pool side bar. Room service and pool side service - simply scan and use the the in-house developed app to select what you want and when you want it. Exceptional Room Service app - allows you to order everything from the menu, drinks, food, smoothies, taxis, excursions, anything you could need is in the app. The family have paid so much attention and detail to every service they can offer and make it as easy as possible for you to obtain, ensuring you can just relax and enjoy. Food - wow! Everything here is of extremely high standard, so tasty, portion sizes are big, food is always fresh, hot and delicious! We did try to persuade Mama (amazing cook/chef) to come home with us.. we're going to miss your food, enjoyed everything we had so much! My personal favourite was the Greek Pizza, but everything we tried was amazing! Breakfast - lots of choice, fruit, yogurt, cereals, pastries (always changed daily, and always stunning), cooked items such as eggs, bacon, sausage (the small cocktail ones were our favourite!), Juices, coffee selection, homemade jams (these are so good), bread, cakes etc, so much choice and as you probably guessed, all so good! Rooms - we stayed in the one bedroom (plus settee bed) Tree house lodge, it literally is built on top of an Olive tree, it was amazing! Such a special place! Views are spectacular. Fully private sundeck & pool! And when I say private, it is not overseen from any angle whatsoever, it is total privacy! The rooms are fully equipped with Aircon, small fridge, ensuite bathroom with powerful shower, hairdryer, full size iron, ironing board, large windows with sliding doors and Juliet balcony, large Smart TV, netflix etc available, comfortable beds & pillows (4 pillows per bed).
