Very nice and peaceful accommodation in the hills northwest of Zakynthos Town. Hotel Varres is ideal for couples that want to enjoy the restaurants, shops and interesting sites of Zakynthos Town, but prefer to relax and sleep in a more tranquil environment. The hotel is situated on a large hilly property covered with olive trees. The hotel anbd the surrounding property are very well maintained and clean. Hotel rooms are quite large and they are cleaned every day. The breakfast buffet offers a good choices of hot and cold dishes. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. They even organized a take-out breakfast for us on a day when we had to leave early for a daytrip. Hotel Varres fulfilled all our expectations, and on some points even exceeded them.

Very little negative to say. The slightly more secluded location of Hotel Varres adds to the peacefulness and tranquility, but may be a problem for hotel guests without a car. The walking distance to Zakynthos Town is approx. 20 min, but the walk can be quite perilous due to the high traffic density and the (partial) absence of pedestrian sidewalks. Wouldn't recommend walking after dark.

There are 2 buildings for the same hotel, one who is newer as far as we understoond, but you can’t really notice any difference between as of which one is newer and which one is not. There is one which is right by the pool, and the other one who has a garden view and that is where you eat the breakfast. The room from the one we stayed in (the one by the pool) was way more spacious than the one where you eat the breakfast in (which is suppose to be newer). The bathroom had some space in it, the room was spacious and the balcony pretty ok( example: we stayed 4 people at the table on the balcony). The rooms from the other building (where you eat breakfast) were smaller and did not have a lot of space in the bathroom. For example, a 2m(height) person doesn’t have that much space. Other than that, they clean the room everyday, change the sheets and towels, and the personnel is very nice to you. The receptionists speak very well English so you won’t have a problem understanding them. Overall, the hotel is nice, pretty and I definitely recommend it

More variety for breakfast. They changed one thing every day, but the rest were pretty ok. Nonetheless, the breakfast is good, you can choose what to eat, however the coffee was very different (but that I guess is because Greek coffee in general is a bit different than the rest of the countries)

The staff was amazing! The receptionist helped us to find something to get to the west side of the island since we were to young to rent a car. The location is perfect. They are considerate with the Covid measurements. For instance, you disinfect and wear gloves while you go to the buffet. The breakfast is nice, with variation throughout the week. You can’t hear the roads, only nature. You can ask for a taxi at the reception and it will be there within 10 minutes and costs to zakynthos town 6-8 euros.

The room didn’t look as the first few pictures. The bed was very squeaky and we had a burn hole in our bathroom door from what I think is a heater? (We had the ground bedroom with garden view). During the busy hours there isn’t any hot water so be considerate of that. The pool has a red and white chain around it so you don’t jump in from the sides which is a minor thing but blocked a good pool picture :). Even though it looked like we could easily walk to zakynthos town this really isn’t possible, even during the day. It is a really dangerous road so walking isn’t recommended.

The hotel's location is excellent, quiet and convenient, with lots of greenery around it. Parking your vehicle is very easy. The staff is very polite and helpful. The room was modern, spacious and had a great view from its' balcony. The bathroom was spotless and fully equipped. The pool area and the pool itself are very clean and well-maintained. The breakfast was served in a beautiful and spacious room, it had a lot of choices and every day something new was added. Overall, we were completely satisfied with the hotel, we highly recommend it and would definitely choose it again for our next trip to Zakynthos.

Great value for this beautiful hotel nestled in olive trees. Very clean and spacious and reasonable rate. Will come again and recommend to friends.

A great location - quiet but not too far from the town centre. Good breakfast and friendly staff willing to help out with questions and queries. Shuttle van was a great service if you wanted it to take you to town for shopping etc.

In the foyer/reception area, there was minimal amount of brochures advertising tour/cruises around Zakynthos.

-We booked the Mountain View room with breakfast included. -Breakfast was fresh and various. The restaurant has a terrace with a beautiful view. -We ate dinner at the hotel terrace by the pool, food was very tasty and the prices are better than the prices at the restaurants in town. -Staff was always welcoming and willing to help. -The room was very clean and it got cleaned every day (not just new towels and empty trash), even our pijamas were folded. -We received new toiletries every day. -A company that does boat tours around the island picks you up and brings you back to the hotel (MyTours). We recommend this hotel!

We enjoyed everything except: -There is no mosquito net at the balcony door, we had to kill some so we could sleep. -There is just one free wall outlet in the room. -The main light in the room has to warm up before it works properly. -There are no glasses in the room. -40 minutes walk to the city; renting a car is recommended.

- nice quiet location in the middle of olive trees field, a few minutes drive from Zakynthos city centre - if you want to stay away from crowds, it’s a perfect cosy place - good base for travelling around island - very nice, clean swimming pool with very few people using it - clean room with a view to olive trees - very nice breakfasts

- definitely for people with cars - if you don’t travel by car, you will need to use a taxi each time - bathroom is small and definitely needs a refreshment :/ - room doors are so thin, you can hear every little noise from the corridor - bed mattress is very hard - airconditioning is blowing air straight to the bed area, which makes it difficult to use it at night - pool is open from 10 a.m. till 8 p.m. - it would be nice to have a swim also in the evening. Also the whole pool is surrounded by Red-White chains to stop people from jumping/diving - it doesn’t look very friendly

We loved the bar &pool . the rooms have a very good size and with nice view.Breakfast tasty. Dinner at the pool terrace also very good especially the fresh fish of the day.

The mattress were not that comfortable ,its worth am upgrade. Unfortunately we did not had a car, cause we looked online and the city was not that far, but there is no path way for pedestrians so it can be dangerous to walk on the street. Taxis are difficult to find sometimes, especially in high season . There is no public transport. I would say a car or a scooter is a must have.

We got a very nice and big room in front of the pool. The shuttle service is very helpfull as well. And the stuff is friendly and helpfull.

Unfortunately the only thing that we didn’ t like was the service at the restaurant. Especially the lady. We thought she had a language barrier, but she speaks very good english but she was not customer friendly and sometimes rude to us.
