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.
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.
Offering an outdoor pool and barbecue, Sami View is set in Sami. Cave Melissani is 800 metres away. There is also a kitchen, equipped with a toaster, refrigerator and stovetop. Towels are provided.

Everything, lovely accommodating couple with lots of stories to tell, they gave us recommendations for food and taxis and also gave us lifts into the centre. The house is very clean and I genuinely couldn’t think of one thing they could improve on.
Located within 400 metres of Karavomilos Beach and 1.5 km of Cave Melissani, Apartments Katerina by the sea provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sami.

we liked the ability to short cut through the owners adjoining property to gain access direct to the coastal path and beach. we liked that there were porch area back and front of the property to facilitate sitting out in the sun at all times.

Short walk, 15(ish) minute walk to the centre of Sami. Amazing views of Sami and surrounds. Was in love with all the animals while I was there, especially the dogs
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!

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.

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.

Sami was a perfect base for North if the Island .
Sami was a perfect base for North if the Island . Alancia Suites are perfect . Plenty of places to eat and drink . Supermarkets were good .
Places to hire cars, bikes etc .
Lovely walks along promenade and marina
Local beaches pebbled but lovely .clean and plenty of space .
More popular beaches close by .
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.
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.
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!
The mobile home was perfect. Well equipped, spotlessly clean, in a lovely shaded location. The air-conditioning and shower were better than in many hotels! The campsite itself was superb with a great pool, nice gardens, bar/restaurant, easy access to a long beach, and just a short walk into Sami.
The Happy Camp rep, Gabriella, was lovely. The friendliest welcome and always available if anyone needed help or information.
A really great holiday!
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.
Fantastic accommodation in the heart of Sami. A good size room with a great shower, kitchenette and balcony. Im guessing all the rooms are the same. Great to see all the essentials ie coffee pods, tea, washing up liquid, nice bottle of local wine etc all included. Super pool with comfortable sun beds. Very tasteful design and spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend.
Wow, what a lovely place to stay! The location is perfect, quiet and close to town and the hosts are fantastic! Our room had everything we needed and breakfast in the garden every morning was a real treat. And Sami is the perfect place to stay to avoid the tourist crowds and explore the rest of the island. It's centrally located with many great taveranas and bars.
In a quiet location on the edge of Sami, just a short walk along the harbour to the centre. This is a beautiful apartment with everything you could need. The beds were ultra comfy! The owner also left some very nice provisions for us such as coffee, tea, sugar, milk, wine, fruit, jams and Melba toast. We were very impressed with everything.
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).
Amazing family apartment ideally located short stroll from sami centre. The apartment was only recently refurbished to a good standard and everything was clean and in good condition. Excellent facilities in the apartment inc fridge, hob, ac, iron etc. Bed was really comfortable too. Incredible value for money.
The location was peaceful and rustic in the farmland inland from Sami and the coast.A pleasant 20 minute walk past farms to get to seafront shops and restaurants.Room clean and comfy and pleasant pool to relax by and swim during the intense heat of the afternoon.
Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff. Nice big pool (though we did not use it) and nice beachfront. The hotel is on the beach but well set back from the main roadway. There is a nice large, open air bar/eatery between the pool and the beach.
Beautiful property very close to the nearby town of Sami. The room was nice and big and the location had great views from the balcony. The pool was great also for a nice relaxing swim. The owner was very welcoming too.
The location is great as it’s a short walk to the port.
The apartment was spotless clean and exceptional hospitality and service.
I extended my stay at the hotel for four more days for all the above reasons.
Great value for our one night in Sami. We were going sailing to Isthaki the next day and the proximity to the harbor was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Lovely home in the beautiful setting, close to the centre of Sami.
The host was very friendly and helpful. The Apartment is well equipped and spotlessly clean
