Sami Beach Hotel ★★★

"Just a lovely family-run hotel. Super friendly staff. Lovely breakfasts. Comfy beds. Clean. Hope to return one day! Close to many of the locations in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Don’t forget boat shoes, the beach is stony but the pool is gorgeous!"

Ionian Emerald Resort ★★★★★

"Second time at this hotel. The staff are lovely, rooms clean and spacious, lots of choice for breakfast. Pool bar and staff are very good as is the food served there. Great location by the beach and a short walk to tavernas in Karavomylos, absolutely recommend the bakery there too 100%. Short walk into Sami for other great restaurants by the harbour.Had a room with splash pool which was used daily to cool off and it was pleasant to relax on our own patio."

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."

Hotel Athina ★★★

"Despite our stressful start to our holidays thanks to Loveholidays for not paying for our accommodation, we had a lovely time in hotel Athina. Both Elena and Maki are really lovely. They helped us with an issue created by the travel agency in the middle of the night. As previous reviews said, Maki knows everyone's name and if you have any issues, Maki will fix it!! Bonus, we could use a lovely pool at Ionian Emerald hotel. Beach is great and swimming in that gorgeous sea was the highlight of the holidays. Thank you so much, Maki. Ευχαριστώ πολύ. "

Penelope Villas ★★★★

Meliti Waterfront Suites ★★★★

"I booked the Meliti for my wifes 50th Birthday as a suprise. On arrival the property looked very inviting. We were led by the manager to the side of the property and shown our room. It was advertised as having breath taking sea views, this was not the case. We overlooked scrubland, power cables, parked cars and electricity sub station. We asked if we could be moved and were offered a larger 3 bedroom apartment at a cost of €155 a night, we had a think and decided not to move as this would have cost us an extra €930 and all we wanted was a nice view and outside space. The cleaning was absolutely spot on. Clean towels every day if needed, bed made and cleaned throughout, this is the only positive. Other negatives: Two coffee machines - no coffee capsules to use so hard to know what to buy. No washing up liquid. No washing machine tablets. No oven but advertised as having one (see picture). Private beach - Very small stone beach, not somewhere you would use and anyone allowed to use it. I would not recommend this property as having driven around the island and seen what we could have got for similar money this was very disappointing. "

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."
