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.

Maria's Apartments, hotel in Sami

Situated just less than 1 km from Cave Melissani, Maria's Apartments offers accommodation in Sami with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

Views of the countryside and the mountains overlooking the water were amazing. Peaceful location just outside of the main town, but close enough that we were able to walk there for dinner every night. Spacious flat provided all of the amenities and was able to accommodate four people comfortably.

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.

    The location of the room is really convenient near to Sami's port. Sami is at the heart of the island so I recommend it to anyone who wants t explore the whole island. The room is renovated and redecorated and the bed and pillows are amazingly comfortable. The room is on the first floor of a family residence so the hosts also live downstairs. This makes the place ideal for anyone who wants to learn about greek hospitality and live with locals but it can make the experience unpleasant to anyone who wants privacy and personal space.

    Great secluded fully equipped and clean villa. Enough space for 5 people to comfortably live and dine. 5-10min drive from Sami, where there are plenty of shops/restaurants. Location is central for Kefalonia, great base for day trips to exploring different parts of island. Villa is very well equipped, even got pool towels. There is a huge stone grill on the terrace, great for BBQ. The owner (Dimitris) looked after us very well: left us great Kefalonian wine and sweets, suggested places to visit/eat and was overall an amazing host.

    The location was quite close to Sami port where you can find anything you need (supermarket, restaurant etc). Beaches nearby were also very good. You can drive from there to all highlights in maximum distance 1-1.30 hour for each. Our stay at Nightflower was very pleasant and full of relaxation. The room was quite equipped with the basics and hosts were helpful, friendly and full of hospitality! We definitely recommend this accommodation. We will be back for sure!

    We were delighted with everything about the suite. Our thoughtful hosts, Theo and Alinta, designed the building together with great attention to detail, balancing aesthetics and utility. The location offers beautiful views of the Ionian Sea; perfect for relaxing around the pool or on the beach. We like to be a little more active and found plenty of things to do and places to go from Sami. We particularly liked nearby Antisamos beach and Agia Efimia

    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.

    Remezzo Apartments is located in the centre of Sami with plenty of restaurants and bars in 1-2' walking distance. The room smelled amazing when we entered and was sparkling clean with a very comfortable king size bed including also very comfortable pillows! Also the lady that welcomed us was very helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Sami.
