It was very clean and lots of space around the pool. Good access to shade. Rooms were cleaned daily and the staff were so lovely. There was always a sun bed free and parasol. The pool and pool areas were clean. Check in was easy and any issues (I had one with the power) were sorted really quickly. Food was always served quickly and was really tasty. Beautiful little dog around the bar area that was so sweet!
It doesn’t really tell you that there’s a big hill to walk up to get to some of the rooms. It didn’t affect me as I have the ability to do this, but I can imagine for some it’s not ideal.

Very friendly and helpful staff – our host made us feel very welcome. Great location: easy access to shops, cafés, and restaurants (around 15 minutes walking distance). The hotel has a nice structure with a good swimming pool. Free parking available. Spacious rooms, perfect for groups or families.
Unfortunately, our bathroom had some issues. Every time we showered, the water would spill all over the floor. On two nights, there was no hot water, so we had to take cold showers – which was uncomfortable. With some improvements to the bathroom facilities, the stay would have been excellent.

We had such a great time at Callinica Hotel in Zante! It’s a lovely, cozy family place where you immediately feel welcome. The staff were super friendly and always happy to help, they really care about their guests. They handled all our requests with no problem at all. The food was amazing. Everything was super tasty and felt homemade with love. Cocktails in the bar were delicious too!

We stayed in a deluxe apartment that had been recently renovated. It was very clean, lots of storage and comfortable mattresses on the beds. The people running the hotel and bar were lovely; very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned every day and we could always get a lounger by the pool. Good quality and value for money food and drink at the bar. Great location, only a short walk to some very good restaurants, bars and the beach.
The road next to the hotel is quite busy.

The room was very clean: room service change the towels and supply shower gels and soaps every day, bed sheets are changed on request. We had a late return flight and we were allowed to hang around the hotel pool after check-out. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is very nice and our children love it. The price was way lower than anywhere else in Tsilivi, probably because it is located a little away from the centre (10 min. walk to the beach). Outdoor water park is on the opposite side of the street.

Excellent location. Everything you need within 10 - 15 minutes walk. We had a room with a private pool so can’t comment on the main pool or general facilities. Our room was lovely. Could have been cleaner when we first arrived, there was still hairs in the shower and it was generally just a little bit grubby. It didn’t change the fact that we had a great time and it was a real treat having our own private pool. The room was well equipped, including the kitchen. Beds were also really comfortable. The staff were lovely.
General cleanliness. Starting to look a little tired. The private pool needed a bit of attention.

We had a hotel room with a pool&seaview on the 1st floor. The room was bigger than standart rooms. There was also a big balcony with a table. You also have a parking place. There's a pool with beach mattresses, that you can borrow. We didn't use the pool, we went to the beach, which is ca 15-20 min on foot. The beach is ok, but it could have been better. I suppose, it's great for kids, but it's too shallow for adults. Reastaurants and touristshops are 5-10 min on foot
There's a bar downstairs. I tried some coctails there, but they were unfortunately very bad, I can't recommend it. The walls are really thin and if someone is loud on the balcony or in a neighbour room, you'll hear it. Therefore I couldn't sleep well. The air condition remote was very dirty, I've never seen such a thing in all my life

Peaceful location but still close to the beach and shops/bars/restaurants. Could always get a sunbed at the pool whatever the time of day so no need to get up early which made for a lovely relaxing holiday. We hired one of the superior apartments with private pool which was amazing and so nice to have our own space to chill. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The only real negatives if at all are that the shower pressure at times was very weak and in terms of self catering limited crockery and cutlery but did not detract from our stay at all.

Cleaning staff looked after us really well, excellent accommodation. Pool was a great size. Some lovely home comforts like hair dryers, tvs, coffee machine.
The private pool was green and pool tiles dirty The restaurant onsite wasn’t able to provide any gluten free food for my 5 year old with coeliac disease despite having naturally GF options on the menu, otherwise we would have eaten there a lot. The self catering equipment was very limited and not enough for 4 people. Bring your own washing up liquid, tea towel, tea bags etc.
