Kalderimi Residencies

Lovely family-run hotel with kind, friendly staff. The whole complex is charming and well designed with great views of the bay into Livadi and onto Chora itself. The breakfasts are delicious and include rotating daily specials. Location wise, the hotel is in-between Chora and Livadi beach, both are easy walks, although you might want to take the Astybus back up the hill from the beach!

Perfect location near Chora and Livadi Beach. Charming, traditional-style residence with all modern comforts, very clean rooms, and outstanding hospitality. Mrs. Katerina’s warmth and her homemade treats at breakfast made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Staying at Kaldemerini Residence was one of the most beautiful experiences of my time on the island of Astypalaia. Perched gently on the hillside, the residence offers breathtaking views over the shimmering sea and the charming whitewashed town, with its iconic castle crowning the horizon. The architecture perfectly combines Cycladic simplicity with thoughtful elegance — bright, airy and very traditional rooms, tasteful details, and private terraces where the morning light dances across the blue of the Aegean. The heart of this place, however, is Katerina Aggeli, the wonderful host who makes you instantly feel like part of her family. Her warmth, generosity, and attention to every detail turn a stay into a true homecoming. Each morning, she prepares a delicious breakfast with homemade marmalade and daily surprises — sometimes a traditional Greek pastry, sometimes fresh fruit or a local delicacy, for me it was a Greek but with a French twist, delicious and creative, always made with love and care. And if you are lucky and she has the time, she might surprise you with a taste of her extraordinary home cooking. The cleanliness of the residence is impeccable, the atmosphere calm and full of light, and every corner reflects Katerina’s sense of harmony and hospitality. Kaldemerini Residence is not just accommodation — it is a place of serenity, beauty, and connection. A perfect home away from home on the butterfly-shaped island of Astypalaia.

L’emplacement entre Chora et Livadi est parfait. L’hôtel dispose d’un grand parking. Les chambres sont très propres, et offrent une vue magnifique. Les chambres et l’ensemble de l’hôtel est décoré avec goût. On s’y sent très bien ! Le petit déjeuner est frais et fait maison. Le personnel est très sympathique.

Nous avions un appartement proche de la route, avec une porte au niveau de la chambre, cette porte est mal isolée et nous entendions les voitures passer la nuit. Le sommier du lit n’était pas confortable et grinçait fortement à chaque mouvement.
