La Cite Hotel

This was our first visit to La Cite, but not to Lixouri. We came with two friends for a four-night break. We had high expectations after reading some of the amazing reviews, and our expectations were, if anything, exceeded. On arrival, we were given a very warm welcome from Thelki, who always has the biggest smile on her face. Janetta was equally friendly and helpful, as were all the staff. What a great team they are! We had two rooms on the second floor (28 and 29). Room 28 had a view across town towards the sea. Rooms are simply but tastefully furnished, and the bathroom has everything you need. Everything was spotlessly clean. The pool and garden areas are immaculate, with the gardener being in constant attendance. There is an impressive pergola in the garden, which adds a modern twist to this traditional hotel. Breakfast is perfectly adequate, with plenty of choice and with hot options available at a supplement. We didn't eat lunch as we had hired a car, so we're out all day. The hotel is situated in a quiet residential part of Lixouri, but it is only a short walk to the square/town where there is a good choice of bars and tavernas. We enjoyed seeing local children playing in the square in the evenings. We ate at Zefki, Tsibibo, and Avli and had excellent cocktails at the Corner Bar. (They have a Happy Hour from 4pm to 8pm where all cocktails are 7 euros). The Loft Bar was great for cocktails too. There is a municipal beach directly in front of the Summery Hotel, but we preferred to use Lepeda beach a couple of kilometres away, which has a great taverna and good snorkelling We loved La Cite, and it comes as no surprise that guests return here year after year! Thank you to you all for a lovely stay.

We are now on day 4 of 7 and can echo all of the previous comments. The staff make this hotel and the facilities are perfectly adequate. What I like most about the hotel and area is its authentic Greek .Our room 30 overlooks the fields with the locals houses across the road and the gardens are full of lemon trees and vines .The hotel pool and gardens are immaculate and the breakfast is simple but healthy and filling .This place ticks all my boxes for a laid back relaxing holiday for the over 50s .

Fabulous hotel. Staff are the friendliest people you could ever meet, you are always greeted with a smile and a bit of banter. As for facilities just read the previous reviews, they say it all. Thanks to all the staff for making our holiday a five star experience

Just spent a lovely week at La Cite a wonderful little hotel. Our room and balcony where small but spotlessly clean with a garden view, the room had TV , air con, kettle , safety deposit box , hair dryer etc. Breakfast was simple ( cooked items availed at a charge) but plentiful, the garden was beautiful and very well maintained. The pool was also lovely, I used it a lot which is rare for me! Lastly a special mention to the staff, Theki, Jeanette, Dora, Roula and every one else who where wonderful ! The friendliest place I have ever stayed, a very big thank you for a faultless week.

Congratulations Janeta, Thekla, Dora, Makis and all staff at the La Cite Hotel Lixouri for making our first visit so memorable. We look forward to renewing our friendships in 2024. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday. Geoffrey and Maureen Reynolds

The great reviews about the wonderful staff are not exaggerated at all, they are all so helpful and pleasant. The grounds/pool are kept beautiful. We loved the breakfast and staff made sure there was always plenty of food/drinks available. A great bar and food menu throughout the day and night . Our room was kept really clean and tidy by more lovely staff, they even folded my pjs every day. I would say most people are aged 55 upwards but everyone seems to have a great time. Free air-con, fridge and kettle which is a bonus. We cant fault this hotel at all. It is situated really close to the town, but far enough away to be relaxing. Loved lixouri it is a really beautiful place with loads of lovely restaurants, our favourite was zefki. Another bonus was the ferry ride to Argostoli which costs €3 euros. Enjoy your holidays!

Lovely hotel real little gem great location . Jeneta and staff go out of way to make you feel welcome. Rooms cleaned daily.Lovely pool beautiful well cared for gardens. Had the most relaxing holiday ever.
