Anagenessis Village Hotel

Perfectly run Greek family hotel that's all you need to say !

Just returned from a fabulous holiday in Zante, made all the more fabulous due to the hotel we stayed in. My wife and I booked the hotel based on its location and its customer reviews and neither of these fell short of our expectations Our stay was on a bed and breakfast basis which suited us, as we wanted to get out and about during the day/evenings We read varying reviews about how far the hotel is from everything and here is what we found. 1 - Lovely little shop 5 mins walk from the hotel, caters for just about everything. Its open till late every night, but closes on a Sunday 2 - Super Greek Taverna (Michaelos) 12 mins walk from hotel. 3 - Kalamki strip 20 mins walk. Abundance of good restaurants and bars 4 - Kalamaki beach 25 mins walk. Sandy , gently shelving and clear water. Sun loungers and Umbrellas 20 euros for the day. The hotel is characterful and homely (not all mod cons) but perfectly functionable. Pool is clean and sunbeds always accessible Breakfast selection is plentiful and caters for all tastes I would suggest. The big stand out however are the staff. They were simply brilliant. Front of house appears to be run by just 3 people. A huge shout out to Dinos, Dennis and Rebecca who looked after us impeccably during our stay. All spoke good English so communication was never a problem. Would highly recommend this hotel so much so we are considering returning next year, which is something we never do

We have just returned from our stay at this hotel and honestly, I don’t really know where to start because there is so much I could say about it. First of all, when it comes to the hotel itself, everything was really good. The breakfast was honestly something we did not expect from a 3-star hotel at all. There was so much choice and everything was fresh. The food for lunch and dinner was also lovely. Our room was always very clean, the pool area was spotless and in general everything was very well looked after. We really enjoyed our stay from the beginning, but unfortunately towards the end of our holiday we had a serious car accident. I broke my leg and also injured my head. That was the moment when we realised this was much more than just a hotel. The people there helped us with absolutely everything. They helped arrange the hospital and doctors, spoke with them for us and made sure we understood what was happening. When the doctors told me that I was not able to travel and needed to stay for extra days, the hotel made sure I could keep my room for as long as I needed. After everything that had happened, both me and my wife were having a really difficult time, physically and mentally, and the support we received meant more to us than I can explain. Everyone kept checking on us, asking if we needed anything and doing whatever they could to make things easier. They really treated us like family and made us feel safe at a time when we were in another country and honestly did not know what we were going to do. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone there for the way you treated both me and my wife. We will never forget the kindness and help you gave us. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Yes, the rooms are lovely, the food is great and everything is clean, but what really makes this place special is the people. They genuinely care about their guests, and for us that made all the difference.

We have just returned from 10 days in Kalamaki, staying at the beautiful setting of the Anagenessis Hotel. We were so lucky to have found this place. The location is approx. 30 min walk to the main road, but we got taxis, using Zante VIP transfers which was 10 Euros each way. The road can be busy but we did speak to people who walked it. There was a lovely little local shop about 5-10 min walk from the hotel which had everything you need to stock up-ask to try the local wine! The location meant the hotel is set in peaceful surroundings with olive tree groves opposite. It really felt peaceful when you arrived back there compared to the busyness of the main resort. We had a family room which was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Bins and beds were done daily and we had clean towels every 3 days. The balcony was huge so loads of room to dry off towels and sit and overlook the pool with a glass of wine. The pool area was perfect for us. Plenty of sunbeds and parasols, never too busy, loved the swing beds, a lovely small pool for kids if needed, and the main pool was clean, refreshing and a lovely size. The pool bar and area was well stocked with lovely drinks and cocktails and a menu of delicious lunches which they serve you around the pool or at one of the tables. The hotel offers a Greek night and Italian night and we did both-food Both times was delicious, especially the truffle pizza, and the Greek night dancing was a highlight! The family dancing together and performing for us was really special, and we of course joined in! The breakfast choice was stunning. 80% organic and locally grown, there was a huge selection, from breads, cakes, pastries, condiments, nuts, seeds, candied and dried fruit, fresh fruit, yoghurts, overnight oats, meats, cheeses, traditional Greek breakfast and eggs, sausages, beans. More than enough on offer and delicious! The thing that made this stay extra special was the family behind the hotel. Dinos, Rebecca, Dennis and Costas, and all the extended family and helpers. Thank you. You truly made our stay so memorable and we felt like we didn’t want to leave! Dinos, you were so helpful and knowledgeable, and from day 1 we felt like part of the hotel family. Thank you Anagenessis-we will never forget this holiday!

A long way from main area,which is ok if that's what you prefer. Positives we had a great balcony on ground floor , lovely swimming pool. Breakfast was canny, tinned fruit and yoghurt , toast , meets and cheeses ect. Negative, evening food, set menu only for duration of the stay, everything tastes the same, too much hassle salt. I think its one sauce with some meats, awful. We ate out from day 3 couldn't bring ourselves to try another dish. Sunbeds and parasols nailed down so unable to get any shade. Pool closed 6pm fined if in beyond. Our apartment was so dark, unable to have windows open as no insect screen . Apartment for 4, no storage for more than 2. Everything is old and serverly rusted. Bathroom floods so badly when showering we had to cover the floor with towels or it wet the floor in the hallway ,door frames rotted away with the water from the shower ,rusty door handles and a vanity unit so rusty and dirty making it unusable. Terrible. The fridge had 1 shelf so no room for anything and again was a million years old and rusty. Needless to say we would never stay again and we definitely wouldn't recommend. Still waiting for Jet2 to respond to my complaint, The rep that visited during our stay was shocked at the things I've listed.
