Bitzaro Grande Hotel

Bitzaro Grande Hotel details

"Boasting some of the prettiest grounds in Zante, this place was made for lazy days by the pool."

If your ideal holiday involves spending as much time outdoors as possible, the Bitzaro Grande is the perfect choice – its beautiful grounds are absolutely huge. Manicured lawns overflow with leafy trees and magenta blooms. Old-fashioned stone terraces are dotted with loungers and umbrellas.

Step inside, and things are just as good-looking. Take the lobby, for example. Squishy white sofas cluster around sleek mahogany tables, while floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light. As for the bedrooms, they’re fairly simple but surprisingly spacious. Whitewashed walls and terracotta floor tiles give them a traditional feel, while air-conditioning and TVs add a modern touch.

Dining at the Bitzaro Grande is an all-you-can-eat affair, with the large dining room offering up breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. In the mornings, hot dishes like eggs and bacon sit alongside a continental spread of pastries, cereal and fruit. The restaurant has a kids’ corner in the evenings, too, which houses home favourites like burgers, chips and fish fingers.

Lastly, a word on location. The hotel is set on the outskirts of Kalamaki, so you can pretty much walk everywhere. Shops, restaurants and bars are only about five minutes away, and the beach is just as close.
