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.

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.

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!

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.

    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.

    The property is a small, beautiful, traditional Kefalonian house. Very functional, clean and fully equipped for a family of 4. We liked the location at the edge of the town centre, the outdoor sitting area and terrace and the sea view. The garden, in particular, has the image of paradise: it opens up to the archeological site of the ancient Sami port, and it has undisturbed views of the Sami bay and the mountains beyond. The Antisamos beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece) is only a few minutes drive away. We visited it daily.

    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.

    The place is in a way just magnificent. Good, well cleaned, well furnished and functional rooms, with all the greek-styled windows shades, balcony doors and all the rest 🙂 But the best part is the host, Memi (Themis' mother) - the greatest host we've met so far (not only in Greece, but overall)! The location, in Sami, close to it's small port an marina, is great for Kefalonia - kind of in the middle of all the sites, with every corner of this big island within 1 hour driving reach.

    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.

    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.

    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

    We arrived via Ferry from Ithaca and found the hotel easily accessible along the path from the main town. We had very friendly and helpful service, and we took advantage of the free parking available when we rented a car for 2 days.
