About this 12 - Maisonette
Our traditional hotel " Aeginitiko Archontiko" as it is called, is consisted of 10 double rooms and a suite. Near the port of Aegina is located a very stylish neoclassical traditional hotel painted in brick red. The building was built in the 1700's and very much smaller than it is today. It was renovated and built bigger in the beginning of the 1900's, and that's when it acquired its neoclassical style. Archontiko through the years has accommodated legendary characters of the modern Greek history. After liberty from the Turks and the establishment of the new Greek government, Aegina became the first capital city of Greece. The ground floor of the traditional building looks into 2 courtyards which are built in such a way that there is always shade decorated with built in stone seats and various old traditional pieces of furniture. The rooms therefore overlooking the courtyards are much more simple giving you the feeling of island's simplicity rather than the heavy classy rooms on the 1st floor with its high painted ceilings...
