Reviews of Castelli Hotel-Adults Only 4 stars

We liked that it was family run and small

We had a swim up room and not once was the pool cleaned by the time we left it was filthy

For an all inclusive, the food here is excellent. If you’re after a vast beige buffet of chips and chicken dippers etc, you may be disappointed. Personally I loved all the authentic Greek dishes. The ingredients were clearly super fresh. Salads were excellent. Lovely mezze, BBQd meats and pasta dishes. Desserts were less worthy of a write up. Really unique hotel with a bit of a farm to table vibe. We often saw chickens roaming around the wider grounds of the hotel. Every member of staff we interacted with was lovely.

Pool was a touch cold in May/June. But that is to be expected given the climate at that time of year. Bar service could be a little quicker - especially around the pool, but that didn’t ruin the experience.

Small, friendly hotel which was exceptionally warm, welcoming and of a very high standard. Amazing attention to detail with lots of lovely little gifts…utterly delightful

The only thing I would say is that it wasn’t necessary to change our bedding every day. It is a tough of luxury, but made me feel uncomfortable about the cost to the environment

Fantastic staff , we felt so welcome and loved at this place.. the little welcome gifts were thoughtful and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. From trips to taxis, they helped book them all. The reception and the owner were sooo amazing that we had the sense of staying in a relatives place :) Cleaned the room twice a day especially after evening pool time so we could come back to a dry room x very thoughtful. Comfy beds and strong AC - this was much appreciated! Pool not as big but adequate for the crowd there.. good garden lounge area for chilling after and this was lit up in the dark.. Good peekaboo view of the sea and mountain from the food area All inclusive option was a nice to have .. smallish buffet area but plenty of veggie options and just enough non veg options. Decent entertainment but could have gone for a little longer than 10pm (albeit understood that some guests might not enjoy the noise).. The beach was under 10 mins walk and under 20 mins walk to the main shopping and clubs area

A few points which can truly elevate the place - less salt in food (a few dishes were salty, this was better on the Saturday) - we had three rooms but one was emitting an old water smell from bathroom ( we did not mention this during the trip and if we did they may have resolved it for us) we were in a private pool room. - rooms are on smaller side compared to other european destination’s so if you are a large group consider booking enough rooms to give space for all

Fabulous 😍

The best hotel I stayed in Zakinthos Unforgettable experience.

Lovely hotel away from all the clubs and bars in Laganas. Very friendly and welcoming staff, we were greeted by the owner with a welcome drink on arrival, and our room was ready before check in time. The facilities were clean. We received little gifts from the hotel in our room, which was a lovely touch. The entertainment throughout the day was good. We only stayed 3 nights and felt there was a good variety of food. The pool area was pristine and well kept. Would recommend this hotel and would certainly stay again.

The experience was wonderful, the staff extremely friendly, always smiling and ready to help us. The room was large, spacious, and clean. The food was good, although not with an extremely wide variety, but it was fine.

In terms of drinks, I think there is room for improvement since the cocktails weren't very tasty and it’s strange to see how drinks flow from a hose. But it's a very minor aspect compared to the overall experience.

Had the swim up room, clean and tidy

Nothing

Small and super friendly hotel. The owners and staff could not do enough for you. Great additional touches like little gifts in our room every couple of days. Really comfy beds, powerful shower and comfy sun loungers. Big shout out to George who ran the restaurant really efficiently and the two ladies in the bars (whose names I have forgotten) who were really attentive, and not forgetting the reception staff who made it 'home from home' and Speros who was always on hand with a friendly face.

Bathroom was a wet room, so as soon as one of us had showered the whole bathroom was wet, including the toilet. To be fair it all dried out fairly quickly. Being a small hotel the buffet was limited and the food wasn't particularly hot. That said, we aren't fussy and could always find something we liked. The salad bar was great.

Beautiful hotel. They couldn't do enough to welcome us and make sure we enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. Our private pool was lovely. Around the main pool the sunbeds were really comfy (although the fabric does get very hot in the sun), and these were all changed for tables in the evening. Food was nice though not a lot of choice. Enough for the size of the hotel though.

I think it would be nicer not to have the shop in the reception area, as it felt a little crowded and not as luxurious as the rest of the hotel.

Hotel owner and the staff are out of this world; genuin and personalized to limits you dont find anymore in the world. Also most of the days plenty of vegan food options: wonderful! Swim up rooms are highly recomendable. View from rooms is lovely. Good guidance in booking a rental car, taxi etc.

The standard rooms are quite small, and the bathroom is very, very small. Yet; its superclean and well maintained. Just outside the lively are, which is on walkable distance. However, this area was not for us (clubs, very young people, loud music). We came for a honeymoon, other parts of the island were probably more fitting. But then again the hotel was amazing, so we stayed in most of the time.

Beautiful.

Stunning hotel.

NOTHING

NOT CLEAN HAIRS ON BED SAND ON BED FLOOR DIRTY NO ELIVATOR

Great location big rooms car parking food variety

-bathroom get completely wet as their is no shower cabin or curtain - swimup rooms have a mouldy smell - owner sits 24/7 at the front door. Feels a little bit controlled when going in and out

The hotel was idyllic, perfect for couples; more of a holistic retreat and experience than a hotel as the staff were friendly and personable and they knew all the guests by name. Set in beautiful grounds this family run hotel was calming and relaxing.

The food was buffet-style, super fresh and perfectly tasty, however the choices were somewhat limiting. We only stayed for 4 nights so this wasn't an issue but any longer and you may want to pop out for a change.

The whole place is amazing… they take care of every single detail to make your stay unforgettable. Beautiful amenities and lovely staff… definitely recommended

The shower is horrible, really not comfortable
