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.

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.

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.

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 .
We love Sami and enjoyed staying in the apartment. The facilities were good and the outside space with the swing seat and other seating was great. It’s in an old building so it never felt horribly hot and we didn’t hear the neighbours apart from the odd door closing. The location is good, near supermarkets and all the restaurants. Parking was no problem. There are some great walks nearby. We appreciated the drinks and snacks left by the host. We also found the host helpful in sorting out extra keys for us.
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 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 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.
Good size apartment, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Two balconies, one very spacious with mountain views as described. The location is perfect, with just a few minutes walk from Sami port, local shops and restaurants. The hosts, Tonia and George were really welcoming and friendly, they gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and other places to visit.
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.
Maria and Angelique you were so nice and really great hosts. We read some reviews that people didn’t like the area of Sami but as a couple we really did love it. The apartment is so nice and so big and has everything you could possibly need, we were really comfortable. Also her dog is the cutest thing in the world:) We would definitely recommend this to everyone!
Lovely simple hotel on the beach, gorgeous bar on the waterfront by the pool. The staff were super nice and friendly, a quiet area within a short walk from Sami, which we really liked. Also within a few minutes walk from numerous excellent tavernas, all on the waterfront. The room was nice and simple, with a/c and a nice balcony.
The host is extremely friendly and helpful. Sami is a wonderful place to stay and the location of the studios is perfect: quiet yet within a few minutes walk to the beach, tavernas, grocery shop and the bus to other parts of the island. There was a balcony with air dryer provided and all the kitchen equipment you might need.
The room was in the heart of Sami perfectly located near the port for the adjoining ferries or boat tours. The apartment was newly renovated, with modern design and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The balcony looked out onto the water and despite the location, the noise levels were well contained in the unit.
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.
The staff is excellent, very polite and attentive. The drinks at the pool bar are also delicious.
Good location: Although Sami itself is not amazing, it's a great point to have as a base to explore the other gorgeous spots of the island.
There was everything that we required including sufficient provisions for breakfast.The room was a very good size and very clean, a nice balcony to sit out on, close to the Centre of Sami.This is a superb place to stay.
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.
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.
Beautiful little apartments a little out of Sami, well equipped, with a shared pool, private parking, cooking utensils etc. The most welcoming hostess makes this property even better :)
nice landlady who does not speak any english - but hey we are in greece so we actually should be able to speek greece....;-) great view and just round the corner you have the beach
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.
