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!

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.

    We loved this place. The view, the balcony, the comfortable bed, and on the sea front. This place has all you could need for an amazing stay in the beautiful town of Sami. Easy access and great communication from the owner added to one of our best stays. With plenty of fresh towels and linen brought to the apartment every few days, we highly rate this place in every way. With beaches, taxis, shops, ferries, restaurants, and one of the best cake shops , this place is a perfect holiday stay.

    The room was a basic small double with shower room and kitchenette (two ring electric hob, fridge, kettle and all handy pans and utensils). Everything was very clean, a little old round the edges but a perfect site to walk to small beach or the cafes and restaurants/shops. Sami has everything you need for a nice holiday and Antisamos was 10 mins by car for a great beach with facilities. Was useful to have a car and parking was free and available outside apartment. I would recommend it.

    The place is in a way just magnificent. Good, well cleaned, well furnished and functional rooms, with all the greek-styled windows shades, balcony doors and all the rest 🙂 But the best part is the host, Memi (Themis' mother) - the greatest host we've met so far (not only in Greece, but overall)! The location, in Sami, close to it's small port an marina, is great for Kefalonia - kind of in the middle of all the sites, with every corner of this big island within 1 hour driving reach.

    The apartment was clean and very comfortable. It’s location in Sami is on a main street just 1 block from the waterfront. It’s a nice quiet spot with easy, close access to everything in town. Street parking is right outside the apartment and across the street is a great supermarket with everything you may need for your stay. Access to the apartment is easy and quick with extremely helpful owners and staff. We would definitely stay here again!

    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.

    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.

    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).

    This was an exceptionally clean and spacious apartment. We were very sorry we were only staying for one night! So well equipped and great thought into providing coffee, milk, jam etc. It had the best lit bathroom mirror I have ever had in Greece! Communication with the host was excellent.
