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.
Set within less than 1 km of Karavomilos Beach and 2.8 km of Agia Paraskevi Beach, D’Angelos Apartments offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Karavomylos.

Location is fabulous. Located in a quintessential Greek village, there is a square which boasts a bakery/cafe, a good restaurant and a church. There's a taverna on the beach, which is a couple of minutes walk from apartment. Also, it's a nice walk along the seafront to Sami, the closest town.
Decently equipped kitchen. Excellent balcony. Comfortable bed and amazing hot shower!

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.

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.
Located just 20 metres from Elies Beach in Afia Efimia, Poseidon Apartments offers studios and apartments with balconies, enjoying views of the Ionian Sea. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas.

Brilliant location and so comfortable all round. Everyone was so welcoming and warm and friendly. Thank you to Manoulis for the wonderful welcome and also to the beautiful lady who gave us one of her gardenias from her garden . The pots of basil and the gardenias in bloom were a beautiful welcome. Breakfast was perfect! Highly recommend and hope we can return one day.
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.

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
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.
We got a bigger room than what we booked for and the location was nice/clean and very close to the town and the Melisani cave. But the best part of our stay there was certainly the warm welcome and funny chats we had with Makis the owner, who has a very nice personality and plenty of humor.
We totally recommend this location and will stay there in the future if we return to Kefalonia 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.
Setting was lovely. Tranquil and spacious house and gardens. Wonderful views. Well equipped and clean villa. The hosts were excellent and kept in touch to check all was well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and would definitely stay there again, if visiting Kefalonia. Location was close to Sami, the next village ten minutes away, for the ferry to Ithaca.
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.
High quality accommodation on first floor of large 3 bedroom air conditioned apartment. Great view of sea and the island of ithaca. Opposite. Quiet location but just 250 yards from shingle beach. Ideal for enjoying the tranquility of kefalonia but beach and boats are not far off.
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.
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!
Dimitris is super friendly and a perfect host.
Location - close to the beach, local restaurants, bakery and mini market and 10 min walk to Sami. Use of the hotel pool next door was great. Lovely couple that run the property.
Everything, the apartment is beautiful and the area is perfect!
On kefalonia I advise a hire car so you can see as much as possible! It's a beautiful island!
