Vagia Traditional, Aegina Island

Reach the property by taxi from the port (20euro) busses are infrequent at 1.20 a trip. Lovely welcome from Daphne. Room 12. Two single beds, comfortable and basic with air conditioning. The beach is a short walk, two beds and an umbrella (10 euro) drinks service from the bar restaurant. We went to Moni island, don’t recommend it. It’s a small place with a beach bar and beds at 25euros. It’s very crowded, if you decide to go get the early boat (19 euros pp) over at 9.30…that means taking the 7am bus from the hotel, and breakfast in Aegina. The hotel beach is just as nice. The evening meals at the hotel were excellent in a beautiful environment. We wanted to try the yoga and massage but didn’t so we need to go back ! 🥰

Everything was great

Pretty and cosy place, very well looked after amd curated with care. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely garden for coffee/drinks/food. 6min walk to the beach and near the Temple of Afaia. Easy access by bus from Aigina port, but it is very infrequent and the taxi costs 20€. E-bikes would be the way to explore around if not going with a car.

The menu of the restaurant is quite generic and not local. Ad the beach is on the north side of the island, it is often windy, with loads of waves and rubbish being washed out on the beach. If you are looking for a beach holiday, this might not be your place, depending on the weather. On the other side, there's Tourlos cape and a little island you can walk to- again, weather permitting (wasnt accessible when we were there). There's not much in the village. If you want to explore and not driving, the infrequent bus will be an issue. Between the windy beach and the transportation issues (if not driving), it seems n like a nice place to visit in non summery periods, for bike tours.

I loved everything here. The hotel was charming and picturesque. The staff were friendly and welcoming and willing to chat. I can’t recommend this hotel enough! Also you have to try Daphne’s cocktails she is a genius!!

No complaints it was lovely.

The building is beautiful and feels like stepping back 100 years - in a good way. The music selection (in the lobby area) was pleasant and not overdone. The offer of free wine upon arrival was welcome, as was the upgrade to a sea view room with a balcony. The location is also pleasant.

The first night was unseasonably chilly and there did not appear to be instructions in the room for how to operate the rather confusing air-conditioning system/remote control. I found the male manager/owner's manner to be a little abrasive and unusual, to the extent that it somewhat negated the other, very positive elements.
