Xanthippi Hotel

The staff was kind and friendly. The flat was very cosy flat, clean and fully equipped! The view is great! We will surely visit again! Thank you Xanthippi, you made our staying at Aigina a great pleasure! A recommendation for relaxed holiday!

The restaurant, bar and beach were closed for the season. I was not informed until I arrived. I left the next day and moved to a hotel that was in full operation

Nice boutique appartements with hotel facilities and a welcoming staff. The connected appartements are great for families. Close to sandy beach. Top class homemade breakfast and excellent restaurant. Recommended for families. Easy access by ferry to Souvala harbor and 5 minutes walk

Great property for a quite stay. 3 min walking distance to the beach. The property is surrounded by beautiful plants, like rosemary, and many more. The only thing I would add it’s a pool. But for me, it is a 5 star hotel!

Very nice small hotel situated one minute from a sandy beach. The design of the rooms is beautiful, the cleanliness exceptional. The rooms have a small and well equipped kitchenette (for breakfast and salads) and a generous balcony overlooking the sea. We chose to have the hotel's breakfast, which is one of the best we ever had, with homemade philo pastry pies and different greek sweets everiday (besides the omelette, salad, cheese, ham, butter, jam and muffins). Very attentive staff, the owner is almost always present, welcoming the guests and making sure that everything runs smoothly. The water in the nearby gulf is crystal clear, you can order a drink at the restaurant on the beach and have the free use of chaise longues and umbrellas. Tne hotel has a beautiful garden and is situated very near the centre of Souvala, so you are a few minutes away from the restaurants, shops and ferry port. Highly recommended.

This property was quaint, comfortable and well-kept. Wi-fi worked well. Location was close to local port where markets and restaurants exist. Great deal on such a beautiful island!

Stayed here for 3 nights with my family. Great place to relax after 2 weeks of hectic traveling. The hotel is clean and modern. We could walk 1 minute to the beach and there were sunshades and beach chairs available reserved for hotel guests. Water was refreshing and clean. Breakfast was amazing with so much tasty food. The owner was friendly and helpful. Would recommend this place for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

Myself and a friend stayed in Room 210 (twin beds, rate included breakfast) for 5 nights (Sunday-Thursday) in August 2022. Daytime temperatures were 30C+ everyday. Pros: -Helpful and friendly staff. Vera was particularly helpful and is a credit to the business. -Clean and well maintained premises, including gardens with olive trees and other flora. -Free WiFi. -Reception area. Free map of the island of Aegina. -Room 210 (2nd floor, top floor) - open plan sleeping and kitchen areas. Cupboard with hanging space and shelves. Safe. Suitcase stand. Beds with bedside tables, telephone. 2x foldable chairs. Desk. Small wall-mounted Thomson TV with remote (the only English language channel is BBC World News) & USB port. Effective air-con with remote. Ceiling fan with remote. En suite bathroom with spacious walk-in shower, toilet (use bin for paper), towels, sink, lotion dispensers, large mirror, hairdryer. Kitchen area with sink, twin hobs, glasses, plates, cutlery, bottle opener, kettle, fridge. Hard floorings. Effective soundproofing. Spacious balcony with large windup sunshade, table, clothes dryer and views over Mediterranean Sea, and distant views of Piraeus and Greater Athens. -Breakfast, 9-11am. Located on ground floor by Reception. Breakfast includes cereals, fresh fruit, orange juice, cold meats, cheese, bread, croissants, jams/honey, eggs, cakes. Coffee machine. A fantastic choice and the biggest breakfast I’ve ever been offered! (The breakfast area becomes the ‘To Svelto Kouneli’ restaurant in the evening, pre-book). -Beach - a 3 minute walk away. Hotel has a private section of this sandy public beach with 18 large grass-topped parasols, each with a pair of sunloungers. (‘Sole Mare’ beach bar overlooks the beach and also has its own parasols/sunloungers). Clear water with several fish. Take swimming goggles or snorkel & facemask. -Outdoor showers available by hotel exit/entrance to beach. -Car park. -Hotel is centrally located: a 3 minute walk (shortest route along coast) to the nearest restaurant on Souvala harbour. There are numerous seafront seafood restaurants at the harbour. I also recommend an ice cream (€2.50 cone) across the road from the harbour pier. Also, look out for the family of ducks on the harbour ‘beach’! Cons: -Room - adjoining door, although no one was in the adjacent room (211) during our stay in the less busy weekday period. -Room - no bath, although I prefer a shower. -Room - TV need upgrading to a larger screen smart TV. -Room - kitchen only to be used for ‘the preparation of light snacks (salads, sandwiches etc.)’ -Room - occasional noise from the ground floor hotel laundry washing machine. -Hotel - no lift, just steps. -Hotel - no swimming pool, although beach & Mediterranean Sea are a short walk away. Notes: -We arrived via ‘Saronic Ferries’ from Piraeus (Athens), €10pp each way (1 hour journey). We had to pull our suitcases uphill along the road from the harbour pier with no pavement. The shorter route f

We are currently staying at this complex for eight days, and it has been magnificent! The welcome that we received from George and the rest of the staff made us feel so at home from the onset. The breakfast which we paid for at the time of booking is filling and varied from day to day. They were extremely obliging regarding changes of plan, for example a ‘packed breakfast’ on the day we set off to visit Athens. The rooms are well cleaned everyday. The views from the rooms are spectacular and a joy to look out on whilst sampling some local Wines! The hotel is within a very short distance of a great beach with the hotel providing parasol covered tables and loungers! The only thing missing from the hotel complex would be the benefit of a small pool or even a plunge pool for cooling off under the hot GreekSun! We would thoroughly recommend this hotel, Souvala, and Aegina for a fabulously relaxed and enjoyable holiday! We will be back to Xanthippi!
