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!

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.

Lovely location 1 mile out of Sami meant it was v quiet and nice walk into town. A few chainsaws and goat bells but that is rural greece.

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.

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!

    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.

    We loved this place. The view, the balcony, the comfortable bed, and on the sea front. This place has all you could need for an amazing stay in the beautiful town of Sami. Easy access and great communication from the owner added to one of our best stays. With plenty of fresh towels and linen brought to the apartment every few days, we highly rate this place in every way. With beaches, taxis, shops, ferries, restaurants, and one of the best cake shops , this place is a perfect holiday stay.

    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 location was right on the beach, with lounge chairs and umbrellas available. Large swimming pool with lounge area, with canopies for shade. Full bar adjacent to pool area. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. The hotel, family run and operated, is very well managed by Spyro. All staff were friendly and professional. Upon checkout, we were given a souvenir plate and mug.

    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.

    Themis and his mother Memi are amazing hosts. The apartment is spacious, well equipped, and is located in a quiet location. We received a warm reception with a welcome drink and homemade sweets. We would like to come back next year - it is the best place where we stayed in Greece.

    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
