Xanthippi Hotel Apartments

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Xanthippi, and it was just as excellent the second time! The staff and management are superb! Food wonderful and cannot be faulted. The only thing that would make this hotel absolutely perfect would be a small swim/ dip pool!

Very nice Friendly , would return

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

I go to Greece every year due to family, and this is one of the nicest places we have stayed at. Superbly simple to get to - only 5 mins walk from Souvala ferry terminal. The rooms are stylish and clean, and we had a nice sea view. The beach was only 3 mins walk from the bedroom. Plenty to do on the island (and neighbouring islands), we were there for 2 weeks and were never bored. Breakfast was rather deserted of people, apparently some customers buy stuff at the local supermarket and sort thenselves out in the kitchenettes in each room - but wow those people are missing out. There is no menu as such, they just bring plate after plate of different foods until you can eat no more, and the food is lovely!!!! Pastries, breads, cakes, fruits, salads, cold meats, hot meats etc etc absolutely fanastic! We also ate there a couple of evenings, and once again the food was utterly superb and very well priced too. We would have easily eaten there every night, but we wanted to try as many places as we could. There local white wine is fantastic, i forget the name, something to do with a fast rabbit (kouneli) The beach was great; but do note, when you google Souvala beach, most photos are of a different grander beach on the other side of the island. This one is smaller, but still sandy, with crystal clear water and shallow to quite a distance out. Thanks to all the staff, everyone was so chatty and friendly from the cleaners right through to the owners. Had a lovely stay!!

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!

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!

Clean and well-maintained hotel apartments with helpful staff Vera was particularly helpful and is a credit to the business. No lift, just steps. No swimming pool, although beach & Mediterranean Sea are a short walk away. We arrived via ‘Saronic Ferries’ Seasonal to Souvala) from Piraeus (Athens), €10pp each way (1 hour journey). Car rental - we used ‘Autoway’ to hire a Fiat Punto for 24 hours (10am-10am). 2 drivers, €55. They brought the car to the hotel and took it away the next day. -Taxi - Souvala-Aegina Town = €13 (20 minutes)

Άνετα, ανακαινισμένα, καθαρά δωμάτια, πολύ φιλικό προσωπικό, μέτριο πρωινό. Η πολιτική του ξενοδοχείου για τα κατοικίδια είναι ότι δε μπορείς να τα αφήνεις μόνα τους στο δωμάτιο.

I am so glad we chose this hotel. Everything about it was great - spotlessly clean, well maintained, quiet, wonderful owner and staff, very nice breakfast, great outdoor breakfast area/restaurant, feels secluded but only a three minute walk into Souvala… The beach is literally a minute away. It is small, with a scattering of sand, not very busy when we were there, so plenty of free (in both senses of the word) beds and umbrellas, with towels provided by the hotel. It is perhaps not the best looking beach, but the water was crystal clear and great for swimming (with the odd jellyfish to be avoided from time to time, as per usual). There is a cafe bar and a guy taking orders on the beach. The hotel does not have a swimming pool, which may put some people off, but we were ok with that as we normally swim in the sea anyway. Souvala itself is very small, with a handful of places to eat and drink, and it was extremely quiet when we were there. But very attractive nevertheless. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night and that was very nice too. What else…? Did I mention the lovely staff? From the owner, to the lady on reception, to the cook, to the breakfast staff, the waiter in the restaurant, the cleaner… Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

Great staff, great hotel, great location

Host was very friendly and helpful. Property was well maintained.

Loistava sijainti kauniilla saarella aivan rannan vieressä. Ei älyttömiä turistimassoja vaan pääasiassa Ateenalaisia nauttimassa vapaa-aikaansa. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja mukavaa. Huoneet ja näköalat aivan uskomattomia. Aamupala oli myös hyvä. Hotelli on enemmänki 4 tähtwä kuin 2 tähteä!

We enjoyed our stay, apartment was as described clean and comfortable. Staff were very good and breakfast was lovely, would definitely go back.

bel hôtel, bien rénové, bien entretenu. Le jardin es vraiment sympa. L'accès à la plage est facile, il y a même des douches extérieurs quand on revient de la baignade. La chambre n'est pas grande mais fonctionnel et confortable. La terrasse et la vue sont super.

Bon séjour, nous avons nager tous les jours. Nous avons visité tout l'Ile, loué une voiture, et profiter pleinement du beau temps. Bien qu' il y a installé une plaque de cuisson il n'y avait pas des casseroles. Mais la maîtresse avait fait une effort et procurer des casseroles.

Vi bodde på det här hotellet i 5 nätter under vår vistelse på Aegina. Mycket fräscht hotell! Modern, enkel och snygg inredning, lagom stora rum med en ballkong/terass med fin utsikt. Passar alla typer av resande! Skulle defintivt bo här igen! Riktigt bra och mysig frukost med bra service. Hotellägaren och hans personal är riktigt trevliga! 5min gångavstånd till Souvala "byn" där man hittar en del restauranger och barer/cafeer. Ligger även nära en strand där hotellet erbjuder solstolar. Skulle dock inte rekommendera stranden, men fungerar om man inte är särskillt kräsen. För att ta sig runt och upptäcka ön krävs bil/moppe vilket jag personligen tycker är ett måste om man åker hit. Att ta sig till hotellet från Aegina town tar ca 15-20 min med bil.
