Sami Beach Hotel ★★★

"I was taken ill and spent a week in hospital. I would like to thank the local Hays Travel representative, Nicki, for all of her help and support during the time I was there. She helped my partner Ali to arrange everything to get me home. Nicki was absolutely amazing. Cheers Rog"

Stalaktites Studios ★★★

"A very pleasant surprise small hotel closed to Sami with only 5-10 mins drive by car off course. Very clean and well maintained room that includes all the amenities. Spacious with plenty space to either hung your clothes or keep them in the draws. Nice small veranda facing the swimming pool that includes also table with chairs. Lot of parking spaces and only few steps fm the apartment entrance. Amazing pool area with combination of the restaurant you can spend your day with out anything to worry.. food was nice , especially the pizzas on the wooden oven were amazing. Management always around and try with any means to make you feel like home. Definitely we are going back next time we are in Kefalonia again."

Meliti Waterfront Suites ★★★★

"Fantastic apartment at Meliti suites. The penthouse (Ammos) apartment is so worth the extra cost. The wide balcony runs along the front and round the side so every room has a sea view. One bedroom with a side view out to Sami has an en-suite. The middle bedroom is double aspect with doors facing to the front and side. The 3rd bedroom is smaller and looks out to sea. Lovely indoor sitting/dining/kitchen area and lots of seating options on the balcony, from where you hear the sea breaking on the pebble beach. Great location between Sami (a few mins drive or 20 min walk, The Cellar is a great restaurant) and the even nicer Agia Effimia (10 mins drive. Walk away from the harbour up to Pergola or along to Sea Rock for dinner) and less than 10 mins walk from Melissani lake. There was a really long queue when we went to the lake (a cruise ship was visiting the island) so we just went back another day. And there’s a lovely bakery/cafe just a couple of mins walk away. The staff were very helpful before we arrived and very pleasant when we were there. Photos are of the view from the balcony. "

Kalypso Studios & Apartments ★★★

"Kalypso Studios & Apartments Google review summary 4.9 50 reviews 5 ★ 4 ★ 3 ★ 2 ★ 1 ★ Reviews on other travel sites Reviews Search reviews hazza0502 5/5 just now on Google We had the pleasure of staying at Despina's for six wonderful nights. The location was perfect for exploring the island and only a short walk into Sami. Despina was an absolutely lovely host. Super friendly, always happy to help, provide recommendations and answer questions. We also loved our little mezze plates when we ordered drinks from the bar. We can fully understand why Kalypso Studios is so well reviewed, we couldn't fault it at all and would love to come back! We borrowed beach towels, umbrellas and chairs for our travels to local beaches which was a kind and helpful gesture. Thoroughly recommend ordering the breakfast, perfect way to start the day and the homemade marmalade was amazing! We're so sad to have left and want to say thanks again for helping us have such an amazing stay."

Hotel Athina ★★★

"Just 2 nights here touring Kefalonia, used as base to spend day on Ithaka. Owner Makis very kind and helpful, though internet not working for my first day on hotel opening for season. Sea view room with balcony very clean, if a bit dated in design. Had to switch off noisy old fridge to sleep; needs replacing with modern quieter one... Location fine; walk to Sami restaurants etc easy 15mins. The village where it is based on bay also has good restaurant on square. Melisani Caves nearby to visit."
