Xanthippi Hotel

We booked last minute and had an early check-in. Was very easy with Trip.com. We had a blocked shower drain with our first shower and they moved us to a different room-fast. This was great! We slept well on comfortable bedding. The balcony was comfortable with captain's chairs and a large table. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit, bread and cheese and cold cuts. Eggs and a fresh salad with a meat pie. It was presented on a patio with good shade. The property has an ocean view and actually faces Athens-pretty to see the lights at night. The grounds have a terrace for sunbathing, beautiful rosemary hedges, pomegranate trees and veggie garden spaces-very nicely done. The beach is at the bottom of the hill-not a bad walk-2 minutes. The beach tables/umbrellas were not set up for the hotel as it is officially shoulder season but we pulled down some lounge chairs for our beach time. Make sure if you come here to take the Souvala Ferry as it is walking distance to the property. We arrived at the Aegina Town ferry and rented a car-we wanted one for the trip anyway. Best of all was Debbie-the English version of her Greek name-she was front desk manager and was very welcoming and informative. Her English is good and she is working on it constantly. We will be back to this little Shangri-la hopefully soon.

Even though this hotel is away from the Aegina port, it's only 15-20mins drive. I regret not renting a car to get around the island, but the hotel staffs are very helpful that they helped us call taxi whenever we needed. We will definitely stay there again if we ever go to Aegina Island again.

Just returned from a lovely stay! The staff are soooo lovely, the food is AMAZING especially the fig pizza, the room was clean and the bed is comfy, cleaning staff came everyday to take rubbish and top up loo roll! Air con was spot on! I have no idea why this hotel only has 2 stars I would say its 4 star 100% the only thing missing was a swimming pool! We had our 1 year old little girl with us and the cot provided was sturdy and comfy, staff even changed her bed sheet halfway through our 4 day stay! They also have highchairs which is ideal :) the beach which has reserved beds and umbrellas is a short 3 min walk. P.s make sure you try the pistachio parfait icecream they have, we tried a lot of pistachio icecream in aegina and this hotel had the BEST one in my opinion

Excellent property, and location. The views and beach are perfect. Thanks Nicholas for a great stay!

Our stay in October (6 nights) was amazing. The hotel is very pleasant in an excellent location with its own parking lot. It is about 2-3 minutes to the sandy beach with reserved hotel umbrellas, 6-7 minutes to the ferry port and taverns by a comfortable walk. The beach is protected, swimming is very good. Along the edges, the beach is lined with rocks, where you can see a lot of fish. The hotel room was very tastefully furnished with fully functional air conditioning (we did not use the ceiling fan). For a 2* hotel, the rooms are very spacious. The kitchen in the room also includes an electric two-plate stove, but it is not functional (there are no cooking utensils in the kitchen). The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. We were glad to have chosen this hotel for our stay.

Lovely stay at the Xanthippi hotel, we stayed 4 nights from May 30th, our first time in Aegina and we opted for the quieter Souvala rather than Aegina town. We couldn’t fault the hotel at all, lovely airy room with a great sea view, very comfortable large bed and great shower, small kitchenette area with sink, fridge and two ring electric hob and a very effective air conditioning unit plus fan. The decor was modern and the whole hotel was spotlessly clean. Breakfast’s were a real treat, freshly cooked variety of eggs (the Greek scrambled were delicious), meats, cheese, fresh bread, muffins and various sweet treats served overlooking the lovely gardens. The beach, whilst small is in a lovely sheltered bay a couple of minutes walk from the hotel the sea is both calm and shallow, if a little ‘fresh’ There are plenty of beach beds and umbrellas, the taverna on the beach, like most in Greece didn’t charge provided drinks and/or food was purchased which were delivered to your sunbed, be aware though that the beds weren’t put out until 1st June and this varies each year. The owners and staff were all really helpful and friendly, we’ll definitely be back
