Mary's Studios & Apartment, hotel in Sami

Set in Sami, 600 metres from Karavomilos Beach, Mary's Studios & Apartment offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

We had a brilliant time at Mary’s. The location in town is perfect - quiet but a stone’s throw from the seafront with shops etc very nearby. Apartment itself has everything needed (even a coffee machine!) and is stylishly and cleanly decorated. Very much appreciated the owners attention to detail and it made for a lovely home away from home while exploring the island. Angela was hugely helpful and welcoming. Thank you!

Melissani hotel, hotel in Sami

Offering free WiFi, Melissani hotel offers rooms in Sami, a 2-minute walk from Sami Beach and 2km from Cave Melissani. The property is set 2.5 km from Antisamos Beach. Every room comes with a balcony....

The hotel is very well situated near the ferry and near the seafront and the many restaurants. It is a family run hotel and the owner Eleni couldn’t have been nicer. Her elderly mother and father were also lovely. The hotel is basic but very clean and the roof top is a lovely place to sip a glass of wine with a wonderful view.

The property was well maintained and spotlessly clean. The room had a kitchenette with all utensils you’d need to cook a light meal. Beds were comfortable and the room was newly refurbished. A perfect stay in the most beautiful place.

Stalaktites Studios, hotel in Sami

The studios Stalaktites are located in the area of Drogarati, near the Drogarati Cave, and only 3 km from the port of Sami.

What went well?..... Everything! Communication was excellent. Afrodite accommodated our requests prior to arrival - such as a ground floor apartment - and check in process was simple..... reception inside the gift shop for the caves and collect keys. Car is a must, IMO, unless you're a walker but the heat can be dangerous so be sensible! The apartment was pristine, comfortable and well equipped. Cleaner comes every single day - unexpected but most welcome although, on some days we just said "No, thank you" as we'd hardly been there and there really wasn't anything that needed doing. Bless her - the cleaner actually looked disappointed and I wondered if she only got paid per apartment but I checked and that was not the case. Managed to drop my SIM card inside the apartment and didn't realise until next day when we were on an all day boat trip. Hooked onto my friend's data, sent a message to Afrodite and, 12 minutes later, had a reply that it had been found! Pool was immaculate and a really good size. Plenty of sunbeds and shade and at the very tail end of the season and into October, we had the pool to ourselves most days. Added bonus - it was lit at night until around 11pm which we took advantage of on our first night and several others. It's a peaceful place and we had an absolutely fabulous time there. We have both previously stayed at Pericles Hotel on each of our individual visits to Kef but our dates meant we couldn't this time. Always been happy enough there but Stalaktites surpassed it by a country mile. Looking forward to returning next year!

Penelope Villas, hotel in Sami

Located in the scenic countryside of Sami, Penelope Villas offers independent and fully equipped villas with private pools, amongst landscaped gardens, within easy reach from the town centre.

Lovely location 1 mile out of Sami meant it was v quiet and nice walk into town. A few chainsaws and goat bells but that is rural greece.

    Sami gave me what I wanted, small, quiet resort but with plenty of restaurants, cafes and a few shops/ bakeries. Fatto a Mano has the best spanikopita! Scenery was beautiful, harbour very pretty. The beach is narrow but water is very clean and great for a swim (no facilities on beach)

    Good middle base for visiting all parts of Kefalonia, right near Melisanni and Drogarati caves. Sami centre has lots of nice restaurants. Adonis was our favourite. Great beach Antisamos is nearby. Myrtos beach about 25 mins away in car. Showers on beach a nice touch. Pretty private coves, good snorkelling, clear turquoise waters. Lots of friendly cats 🐱 Had a beautiful holiday.

    Sami is the main ferry port so is ideal for access to other islands. There is no beach only a narrow stretch of shingle There are numerous Tavernas along the harbour edge which are very pleasant and enable watching of the boats.

    We visited 3 locations over a 3 week stay

    We visited 3 locations over a 3 week stay Lassi, Skala then Sami, to have a base to to explore Kefalonia easier. Which we feel worked out perfectly. Sami was great, we hired a Boat from 'Compass Renta boat' on two occasions - very nice people - would 100% recommend them. Used the boat to visit Ithaki.

    Almost everything! Marvelous position overlooking beautiful Sami Bay, right by the hotel beach. Wonderful staff, well-trained but also great people-people. Excellent double bed, comfy room, good shower. Greek yogurt and honey at breakfast as good as any we've had in many trips to Greece. And cakes, wow! Spotless, very friendly, very easy hotel to be in, so an excellent, relaxing stay for us. Of the three main hotels in the Sami area, this is the best in our experience. Will come again!

    Superb Villa in very quiet location, stunning views over Sami and out to sea, lovely pool with numerous loungers, outdoor chairs to relax in, great gym. Very clean and tidy, pool was cleaned during our stay. Nice outdoor kitchen area which had brick built BBQ and Pizza oven. Lady that owns the Villa was lovely. Easy drive to local towns where there were ample places to park (for free). Numerous restaurants and local food stores. Was a little too far to walk if hot.

    This is a superb property with genuinely nothing to dislike. The bedrooms are well furnished with excellent comfortable mattresses, pillows and duvets. The bathrooms are both great with powerful showers. Location is superb, walking distance to restaurants and cafes as well as bakeries and supermarkets. Sami is also perfect as a base to head to Assos, Fiskardo, Antisamos and easy parking near the villa. Would definitely recommend, and want to go back!

    The studio is located in a house in the middle of a beautiful garden, so you feel like you are in a small oasis. High ceilings and pleasant colors make the studio larger than its square footage. The large balcony is very suitable for eating meals, and there are benches and tables for resting in the garden. The nearest beach is 10 minutes away and it is possible to walk to the center of Sami along the coast.

    This is very good accommodation just slightly above and behind the lovely town of Sami. The views are spectacular and the location is perfect, just a 10 mine stroll from the sea front with bars and tavernas. Supermarkets are even closer. My apartment had a large comfortable double bed, good shower, excellent aircon and fast wifi and was in very good order throughout. There’s plenty of parking on site.

    The location is great, it is a really good place to be near Sami in Kefalonia. The apartment was really clean and spacious. There are two balconies with a nice view. There is a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a living room. The apartment is really comfortable and you have everything you need. The house is also really beautiful. I liked this accommodation very much.

    The position of the apartment was ok, opposite the supermarket and near the port and shops. It was good that the balcony view was on the mountain and in a quiet street. We choose Sami only for ferry to Ithaka and to visit Melissani and Drogerati cave. So this apartment for 2 days or transit, was ok. Wifi was good, also the kitchenette.

    This property is so beautiful! Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the balcony and looking out at the garden and the nice view. Afroditi was so kind and helpful to us! We had a special time here. It is an hour walk to Sami, so renting a scooter is advisable (unless you enjoy long walks/hikes).

    The location is just outside of Sami with a wonderful view of the water and city. We stayed for one night after arriving in Kefalonia, before we ventured up to Fiskardo. The apartment was spacious and welcoming and Maria was very nice.
