Sat on the plane drafting this review…I will try to do the hotel justice in just a few sentences. Myself, husband & two kids (13 & 7) have spent 2 amazing weeks at the Zante Calinica hotel. We wanted to avoid the package holiday type large hotel, which lack character so we chose this family run hotel, with just 26 apartments & suites and we struck gold. It is run with passion, dedication & 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.
