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.

The property was well maintained and spotlessly clean.
The room had a kitchenette with all utensils you’d need to cook a light meal. Beds were comfortable and the room was newly refurbished.
A perfect stay in the most beautiful place.

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.

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 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.
Very nice place. Staff of the hotel very nice & kind. Facilities were great. Being other side of island Sami to us felt like central to go here and there even.if was 54mins-1 hour drive . We were close around corner from Drosgayo caves & Melisani caves . Greek breakfast was good parking on property great. The beach bar opened till midnight to have drinks
The apartment was very large with comfortable sofas and lots of sitting space. Great large balcony overlooking town square of Sami but quiet and private. Close to markets & restaurants. Bonus roof top sitting area with view as well. Nice kitchen area. Could have definitely stayed longer!
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 location and stay. The apartment has fantastic terrace with sea view and less than 1 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of restaurants nearby, a few good shops too. The host is very friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again in the future.
Quiet and clean apartments 15 min walk from Sami sea front with shops restaurants and harbour and travel services. Sami is a good place to get around from. Clean and had everything we needed. Hosts there if we needed them. Area not commercialised.
Very nice apartment with very convenient location. Rooms clean and well-maintained, and very smooth communication with the host. Definitely recommend if you plan on staying in Sami at any period during the year.
Access to the beaches and the ability to get around in the town of Sami was so much fun. We also had a great time with night activities and found it refreshing to see how social the Sami community is at night.
very spacious and nice apartment with everything you could possibly need. Very friendly staff and good location, a short walk from the center of Sami and the port.
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
Location was good! Staff was helpful. Sami is small but you can enjoy some good food. Good location to visit some of the most beautiful beaches of Kefalonia.
