Xanthippi Hotel Apartments

We were disappointed with the property because we asked on arrival about noise from the speakers outside the bar/restaurant. We were told there were no other rooms available (when the hotel clearly wasn't full). We were located at ground floor practically next the the restaurant. The lady on reception mentioned the quiet time (2 - 5pm), which was also stated on the check in information. On the second day, this quiet time didn't happen - they still played music all day. Unfortunately the beach was full, with music at the bar there too. I realise this is beyond the hotel's control. On the plus side the hotel was well located for the ferry and bus. Souvala is a nice little harbour.

The first picture on the website shows fetched umbrellas with lounge, chairs, and the beach behind it. Did not see that anywhere where we were staying. They want you to think the beach is very nice, but it was OK.

The staff was very friendly. The apartment was very clean. It has access to a quiet little beach. That is really nice a little bit rocky FYI. Just around the corner, you have plenty of options for dining even a couple of supermarkets The place is easy to find and perfectly located to go around the island to visit.

Chambre spacieuse et propre avec jolie vue sur la mer, une terrasse très agréable pour prendre un petit déjeuner ou un verre en fin d’après-midi. Le personnel est très gentil Le petit déjeuner de l’hôtel est très copieux La plage est à 2 pas et le port de Souvala à moins de 5mn avec les tavernes et un super market

The apartments are in close proximity to both the beach and restaurants.There is a fruit and vegetable garden on the property! Everything we could need was accounted for.

Nice - clean but no customer service Very unfortunate

Hotelli oli siisti ja rauhallinen, kaunis ja vehreä piha. Hotellilla on omat maksuttomat rantatuolit ja rannalle on lyhyt kävelymatka. Lähellä olevassa satamassa on kivoja ravintoloita, ruokakauppoja ja leipomoita. Kaikki on lähellä. Taxilla pääsee nopeasti Aeginan keskustaan.

Close to a nice beach with sunbeds and umbrellas.

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

Das Frühstück ist empfehlenswert

Beautiful people, steps from beach. Clean room. Lovely staff. The breakfast and restaurant were delicious.

Excellent breakfasts and welcoming helpful owners

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!

Lugnt ställe.

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)
