Dining
Zeffirino Ristorante, the resort’s fine-dining venue, brings the finest Italian flair to Santorini’s culinary scene, transporting the tradition and passion of Genoa’s Belloni family to the Cyclades. The restaurant offers dishes that have been scrupulously selected and imported from producers across the different regions of Italy with the menu paying tribute to the rich gastronomic heritage of the Emilia-Romagna and Liguria regions, and to the Zeffirino family, who were awarded the acclaimed title ‘Ambassador of Italian Cuisine in the World’, thanks to their trademarked Genoese Pesto.
Typical, tasty Italian dishes are served at Belloni Trattoria with its casual atmosphere and open kitchen. Belloni offers a fusion of Italian and Greek cuisine for lunch whilst in the evening, the trattoria presents a truly Italian menu with simple and tasty dishes, a wide variety of pizzas, and a unique focaccia from Liguria with cheese, created just for Santorini.
Yilmaz Yildirimlar, Area Senior Vice President, Radisson Hotel Group, said:
We are delighted to open this stunning resort on the island of Santorini this summer. Bringing the Radisson Blu brand to the Cyclades, Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort, Santorini is an exciting addition to our growing portfolio of hotels in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean. With its stylish spaces and positive, personalized service, the resort is a getaway destination in itself that will inspire unforgettable experiences.
Facilities
Two large pools with 80 sun loungers form the heart of the resort. A pool bar is present which serves coffee, ice cream and a variety of snacks, aperitifs, sushi dishes, panini, sandwiches and burgers. The bar also serves eye-catching signature cocktails, created to enhance the Italian touch of the resort.
The resort also offers a variety of treatments including facials and full-body massages as well as nail care in its Calliste Wellness facilities. There is also a multi-functional conference room that can host up to 80 delegates.
Santorini is a famous vacation spot in Greece with its unique volcanic landscape, where enormous cliffs, dotted with dreamy Cycladic whitewashed houses, meet the southern Aegean Sea. This romantic-getaway destination is synonymous with spectacular sunsets, beaches with white, red or black volcano sand, and luxurious resort experiences. Kamari, a village on the southeastern coast of Santorini, is popular with travelers who visit its Blue Flag beach and the pedestrian seafront promenade with a good choice of tavernas offering traditional Greek cuisine and music. The seaside village is also an ideal starting point to explore Mesa Vouno mountain and its archaeological site of Ancient Thera. A landmark of Santorini dating back to the 9th century BC, its Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine ruins include temples, houses with mosaics, an agora (market), a theater and a gymnasium.
Meanwhile, Radisson has announced plans to open 16th hotel in South Africa in the town of Middelburg. The group has opened its 15th resort in Poland, Radisson Resort Kolobrzeg.
A few days ago, Radisson opened Africa’s second Radisson RED hotel in Johannesburg.
