Set in the popular resort of Tsilivi on Zante’s northeast coast, Contessina Suites & Spa sits on a quiet side street a short wander from the beach and main strip. Golden sands, watersports and beach bars are about 150m away, while Tsilivi’s tavernas, cocktail bars and shops cluster around 300m from the hotel. It’s a smart choice if you want to dip into the buzz of town, then retreat to a calm, design-led base.

Tsilivi itself balances laid-back Greek charm with modern comforts – there’s a fun waterpark nearby, a pretty harbour and a nightlife scene that ranges from mellow wine bars to livelier music spots. Zante Town is an easy taxi ride away if you fancy a change of scene.

Dining at Contessina Suites & Spa is as considered as the design. The main buffet restaurant serves elegant breakfasts and dinners with a mix of Greek and international dishes, live cooking-style presentations and beautifully plated cold selections. Expect plenty of fresh salads, grilled meats and local favourites alongside more familiar classics.

For something special, Nobile – Fine Dining Restaurant occupies a stylish roof-terrace setting. This adults-only à la carte spot focuses on a refined take on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, pairing creative plates with a thoughtful wine list. A smart dress code applies here – long trousers for gentlemen and no beachwear.

Down by the water, the Contessina Suites Bar lines the pool with loungers and low seating. It’s the go-to for barista coffee, light bites and crafted cocktails, which feel especially right at golden hour.

Boarding is on Bed & Breakfast or Half Board, with any à la carte meals, premium drinks or special tasting menus payable locally. A smart casual dress code may apply and restaurant schedules, reservations and inclusions can vary by season – check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The heart of the hotel is a sleek outdoor freshwater pool, framed by cushioned loungers and parasols. It’s more about calm than crowds here – picture lazy swims, poolside service and plenty of space to unwind. Complimentary pool towels are provided, and facilities can vary slightly by season.

What really sets Contessina apart are the shared and private pool suites. Some open straight out onto a semi-private pool shared with just a handful of neighbours, while others boast their own private plunge pool with sunbeds – an indulgent option if you love the feel of villa life but want hotel service on tap.

When you want to swap pool for sea, Tsilivi’s sandy, gently shelving beach is around 150m away, with Blue Flag cleanliness, clear water and a line-up of watersports and relaxed beach bars.

Wellness is a major thread at Contessina Suites & Spa. The Kamara Spa offers a cocooning world of saunas, steam room and treatment rooms for massages and beauty therapies (local charges apply). It’s open seasonally during the day, with hours adjusted to occupancy.

Those who like to keep moving can make use of the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free-weights area, and access to the spa’s heat facilities at certain times. Opening times are usually between 09:00 and 18:00 from May to October, but can vary with season and occupancy.

Evenings bring a gentle programme of entertainment between late May and early October, including live music and DJ sets a few nights per week – just enough atmosphere without disturbing the hotel’s relaxing feel.
