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.

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!

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!

Captain's Gem, hotel in Sami

Captain's Gem in Sami features accommodation with free WiFi, 40 metres from Sami Beach, 3 km from Cave Melissani. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a fully equipped kitchen.

Captain’s Gem and the town of Sami was our favorite location during our two-week tour across Greece (it is our new home away from home). Great location, beautiful rooms, walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The accommodations and the view of the harbor is exceptional. The host was excellent. Very clean, spacious, and modern accommodations. They even had a washing machine which was very handy for freshening up our clothing after the first eleven days of our trip.

    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.

    The owners and staff at the Sami Beach Hotel could not have done more to make us feel welcome and for our stay to be as enjoyable as possible. This was our first visit,but many couples had been coming for many years, which speaks for itself. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant open in the evenings, but there are plenty of local tavernas within walking distance. There was a good selection of home produced food for breakfast. The outside bar is the main focal point of the hotel, which has a stunning outlook.

    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 renovates rooms are nice with a nice view towards the sea. Hotel staff is friendly. The location is slightly outside of Sami, walking to Sami is ok and Taxis are comparatively cheap. Sami is a very good place for visiting Kefalonia. The pool is nice and pool bar staff is friendly.

    Excellent quite location with close proximity to the beach and Sami town. Having the pool was lovely and despite use by 3 families there are loads of sunbeds etc. The BBQ area is lovely. The beach is 10 mins walk and Sami town circa 1km. The only noise are the bells of the goats
