Hotel Ionian Theoxenia in Kanali

We have just had a two week stay in the Theoxenia which was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. This hotel is of a much higher standard than most we have experienced in Greece. We stayed in a 'deluxe double' room which was extremely spacious with a separate kitchen and a very large balcony, with open outlook towards the sea. There was efficient aircon at no extra charge and well maintained insect screens on the sliding doors. Lighting was good both by the bedside and on the patio. The room and the hotel as a whole were built to a high standard and cleaning was meticulous. There is an enormous pool with ample comfortable sunbeds and parasols. A pleasant pool bar adjoins it. Beach towels are provided. A good selection for breakfast of hot, cold, continental and Greek elements, replenished frequently by hard working staff. My one suggestion would that a wider selection of fruit be offered and perhaps a modern coffee machine with different choices. In the beach bar there is a good choice of snacks and drinks as well as salads and pasta, although I would have liked there to be some draught beer. The reception staff and all others are extremely friendly and efficient. The hotel is located a flat 5 minute walk from the town of Kanali. There are half a dozen tavernas which are extremely good value. There are many beach bars, some with sunbeds, free if you buy a drink. The beach is gritty sand and there is a lifeguard in attendance. There is the added bonus of a spectacular sunset from all these bars.

We are just having our last day of a two week holiday at this wonderful hotel. We have stayed at many 4-star hotels both on the mainland and the islands of Greece, and this is by far one of the nicest. The accommodation is very clean and spacious with a lovely sea view and cleaned every day with bedding changed every three days. Towels can be changed every day, but we chose to keep ours for more than one day. Beach / pool towels are also supplied. The breakfast is mainly continental, but scrambled eggs, bacon, and little sausages are also available, there is something for everyone. The swimming pool is beautiful but we chose to go to the beach most days where several sunbeds are available from the hotel. It is only a five a minute walk to the beach. You will need beach shoes as it is quite pebbly. All staff and the hotel owners are very nice and welcoming. Nothing is too much for them. The village at this time of the year is reasonably quiet but busy at the weekend. All local businesses, restaurants, and bars are very friendly. This made a nice change for us. We would definitely recommend this hotel to couples and families alike. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, and we will be seeing you again.

Very pleasant and quiet hotel with a wonderful view of the sea in a quiet environment, close to the sea, everything very clean, spacious rooms with balconies, parking space, bar next to swimming pool, nice and very helpful people. highly recommend..👍 👍 👍

Very nice hotel with beautiful pool and nice beach in front.

Beautiful hotel, only small but attention to detail is lovely. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. I'd highly recommend

The hotel is very nice, quiet and clean. Friendly staff make your holiday pleasent. The pool is big. It is abaout 200 m from the beach. We had a breakfast, it was ok. Rooms are very big , clean with a big comfortable bad. Almost all rooms have a sea view.

Large, clean rooms with A/C, and private terrace facing the pool. Good selection at breakfast, superfriendly staff and a a nice, quiet vibe. Only downside is no foodservice for lunch or dinner, it’s a 10 minute walk to the nearest restaurants.

Nice hotel, great warm pool. One of the best breakfast I had in Europe. The staff was nice and helpful. The down side are the showers in the room, I still don't understand why they're not closed, water everywhere.

This is a well run family hotel two minutes from the beach, five minutes walk from Kanali and near Preveza. Its not big, so never feels crowded yet has a large pool and tennis court ( though they need some new rackets and balls). On your door step is a great beach and some great tavernas, as a well as the Greek Nacropolis amphitheatre and museum. The rooms are very comfortable, we had a family room that slept five in comfort and had a kitchenette, which was very useful. The breakfast is really plentiful. One of the things that makes it is the incredible friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, they are really pleased to see you as Kanali is less well known. A great Hotel and fantastic staff, I thoroughly recommend it.
