Breakfast buffet was excellent and a high quality everyday. All the staff are super friendly and really helpful, very knowledgeable on the area and can help with local taxis, tours etc. Went out of their way to offer us two different rooms to choose from on arrival. Was fun that we could all share a room as friends in 3 separate beds.

We really enjoyed our accommodation in villas Iliachtides. The landscape , the gardens and all the scenery was very beautiful and peaceful and very well decorated. Οutdoor areas of the villas and the pool area were very clean, organised and beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful garden in my life. The inside of the villa has many conviniences , it is modern and all the areas were very clean. Airconditions are everywhere inside the villa and we had warm water whenever we wanted. We cooked in the kitchen every day because it is spaceful and has all the conviniences. Also there is a dish washer, a laundry and all these things made our life very easy. The parking area is huge and free. The view was amazing as we could see all the ocean and the mountains! It was like a painting. The hostess was very friendly and she helped us a lot. We have already decided to book the villa again next year.

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.

Fantastic size ! So big and a gorgeous view . Really comfortable bed . Lovely family and a darling dog Bubu!! Set in a hillside surrounded by olive trees . Peaceful and a really short drive into town . You could easily walk in . Fantastic to have a washing machine to get our laundry done and hung out on our own line . Definitely recommend .

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.

Strategic location in the middle of the island - everything is close. Quiet and clean village with a good bakery close to the hotel (with breakfasts and a good coffee). And mainly - Antisamos Beach is just 15 minutes drive from Karavomylos. It's for sure the best beach in Kefalonia, don't look for any other. Sun beds for free, restaurant with a great food and a perfect coffee (+ very friendly staff), white pebbles beach and a lot of places for parking.

Karavomylos is a beautiful location by the sea.
Karavomylos is a beautiful location by the sea. The thoroughfare has shops and all amenities you would need. The area by the water is just stunning and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Our favourite place to eat is at the Karavomylos Taverna, where Georgios and his staff make you feel very welcome. The food in incredible! Karavomylos is a wonderful location to stay with its proximity to many attractions.

We visited 15-24 October and some restaurants and shops were already closed for the season. But those tavernas/restaurants that were open were excellent. No crowds and very little traffic. Quiet traditional small Greek town with very friendly people. Harbour area is pleasant area to stroll in the evening. Antisamos beach is close by and worth a visit. Pebble beach but clear water very quiet at this time of the year, relaxing. Plenty of tavernas and restaurants, mini-markets and ferry terminal to Ithika. Fiscardo is worth a visit if you can stomach the mountain drive - some very high, narrow and winding roads - beautiful views but not for the feint hearted.

Karavomylos is a lovely village situated on the east coast of Kefalonia, close to and within walking distance of the working port town of Sami, with it lovely restaurants and shops. Close by are areas of natural beauty such as Melissani lake, the ancient city of Same and the new addition of Odysseus zoo land. Horse riding and donkey trekking are available also. Being relatively centrally located makes it a good starting point to explore the island, but if you stay local then there are plenty of beaches to choose from.

A nice quiet seaside place with beautiful views of Ithaca.
A nice quiet seaside place with beautiful views of Ithaca. Easy walk along the beach to Sami for good choice of bars and restaurants. The beach nearer to Sami was very good and you can.use the campsite facilities, including bars and a pool. You can also get buses up the coast to lovely beaches and Agia Effimia. Local taverna amd bakery were great!

It’s on the outskirts of Sami and very quiet - just a church, a bakery, a children’s activity playground (for young children) a mini market and a taverna. The road is very close to the water’s edge, so it’s not exactly a pebble beach but you can sit on the bench and watche the sea and admire Ithaca. It’s about a mile walk along the sea path to Sami.
We ate at Adonis in Adam I and weren’t impressed - it was okay but a bit generic. Mermaid, however, was lovely - fabulous stifado and burger. The local Taverna at Karavomylos did dry Moussaka one night and perfect Moussaks another night, chicken souvlaki that was moist and beautiful with fab chips, and the best stuffed peppers I’ve ever tasted. The bakery in Karavomylos is good enough to eat dessert in - try the orange pie and chocolate pie and their kadafia and baklava. Incredibly good
Great location right in front of the beach and the hotel provide sun loungers free of charge. The suite was very spacious, spotlessly clean with great facilities and well equipped kitchen. Air conditioning excellent and very welcome as it was SO hot!
Welcome from Athanasios, the Hotel Manager was great and he was really helpful throughout our stay
Couple of Tavernas very close walk and an excellent bakery (great for brunch) and small supermarket.
Walk along seafront to Sami is 15-20 minutes for more bars, tavernas, shopping etc.
This hotel is absolutely amazing for the price of bed and breakfast. So cheap compared to nearby hotels. Amazing location, walking distance to the beach and Sami harbour. Makis, the hotel owner is the most dedicated and enthusiastic guy I have ever met. He will make sure you have an amazing holiday! You also get to use the Ionian Hotel’s swimming pool and pool bar included in your stay. I would definitely return!
Beautiful apartment in a great location for experiencing Kefalonia. VERY clean and completly new inside and out. The air conditioning was awesome (hot July days). The bed was the most comfortable we have ever had in a vacation home. This was also true for the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. But the best part of all was our host, Efi. She is amazing and will make your stay in Kefalonia magical.
This place was really great. Everything was prepared for us and the owner was nice and helpful. Pleasant yard with herbs, great tavern across street and beautiful hidden Zervati cave app. 100 metres. Also great bakery and other tavern with great view is really near. City of Sami with everything you need is a few minutes from Karavomylos.
Amezing place and I would like to visit it again.
Our stay was the real greek experience. The owners are the nicest people I have ever met. The apartment is clean, comfortable and has everything one needs, even all the kitchen equipment is there. The hospitality of the owners throughout our stay and a farewell present… that was beyond nice. We have really enjoyed it here and would definitely come again if we travel to Kefalonia.
The owner met us personally to hand over the keys. We appreciated this, as we arrived later than expected, due to a travel delay. The owner was very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed on arrival. The property was spotlessly clean and well stocked for all needs. The perfect place to stay in Karavomylos and we highly recommend Stella's Place. We will be back!
Very quiet and restful location, yet nearby shops available (5-10 minutes by car, to Karavomylos and Sami). Enclosed property with controlled parking (natural shadow there). Well furnished kitchen. Courtyard available with garden and an outdoor shower, handy in hot summer/early autumn days. There IS available wi-fi, contrary to the description on booking website.
Beautiful view of the sea right out of the room.
Angelo was very helpful and friendly. Communication was nice and smooth.
Air-conditioning in both bedroom and living room.
Great location, just 10 minutes from the city beach which is everything you need. Calm and cozy neighborhood.
We will definitely come back to stay there for our next trip to Kefalonia.
Great apartment with excellent facilities especially the private pool. Use of the nearby hotel pool and beach bar was a wonderful bonus. The location, with a lovely 15 minutes walk along the beach to Sami was excellent. The views from the apartment were beautiful.
The house and host are amazing. There is everything you need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Location is very near to Sami and some places to eat in Karavomylos. It is quiet and clean. Comfortable beds, a lot of balconies, just all you need for perfect vacation.
The hotel is very well located with a small beach just in front with sunbeds and umbrellas. The staff is helpful and the breakfast is very nice. Walking distance to Sami port by the see. Beach towels available. Rooms are well isolated, without noise.
We visited the hotel prior to our stay as we were concerned about some recent poor reviews. The staff were very good and reassured us on all counts. We subsequently continued with our booking and it met with all our expectations.
Accommodation was perfect for a short visit of Kefalonia. You can reach Sami in 20 Minutes by foot when you walk next to the beach!
