"We had a short break, the host was welcoming, the apartment was well equipped, comfortable and extremely clean and the view was excellent, we will go back."

"The size of accommodation is just perfect for families of all ages. Two doubles and three singles fits in 7 easily, we also had a toddler with us in one of the double rooms. We filled this place and still had space, it’s that spacious. Outside the pool is a great size and the lawn area is big enough to play 5 a side football and still have space for a volley ball court, all with a backdrop of cypress trees, hills/mountains and the Sami Bay Area. Photos don’t do it justice. The property is walled and safe for young children (we had a 2 year old grandson with us). It also has an electric gate and keyless door entry system. Rossana was very helpful in getting what we needed in place and also a lovely woman to deal with. I recommmend visiting her restaurant and cocktail bar in Sami too - Afrala. Be aware that the final few hundred yards of road to the property is a stoney track which you get used to. Our two hire cars dealt with the track fine. You need hire cars to visit here unless you’re happy taking taxis or just want to walk to and from Sami. 20-40 mins each way. My double room was upstairs which led onto a balcony, providing greater views of the area and good morning coffee seating. Gardeners keep outdoors looking great and Maria visited daily to clean up, tidy beds and do the bins inc. toilet bins. Maria was a pleasure and became close to the family and we were all sad to say goodbye. I’d definitely return. "

"My wife and I stayed here for two weeks in September 2024. We loved it. We had a 1 bedroom junior suite with a sea view. The apartment is on the second floor. If you have any mobility problems, please note that there is no lift. The location of the complex is excellent, right on the sea front. The beach, as with many on Kefalonia is stony. This area of the beach has no public facilities so is very quiet. The apartment was large, we had a double balcony. There was air conditioning in both the lounge area and bedroom. It is modern and well furnished. The kitchen area included a large fridge-freezer, hob, toaster kettle and coffee maker. There was also a washing machine in the bathroom,which we were not expecting. The shower had both a waterfall shower head and a second hand-held shower lower down. The hot water came through quickly which isn't always the case. The bed was large, and very comfortable. There was a large built in wardrobe with lots of draw space. Locally, there were two tavernas and a cafe, with a bakery nearby. Sami is a five minute drive away, and in the other direction Agia Elfimia is 10 minutes away. Both have a number of taverans and shops. Karavomylos was a good location for seeing the island. Argostelli was about 30 minutes away, Fiscardo 45 minutes, Assos and Myrtos beach 30 minutes drive. It was a really good apartment in a location that we thought was ideal. "

"Decent hotel but what makes it’s extra special is the extremely friendly and welcoming staff. "

"Lovely, clean property with comfortable bed, super helpful & friendly owner. Thank you for making us so welcome. "

"We had a great stay at this beautiful family run complex. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was spotless and comfortable for a family of 4. Good air condition and amenities. Location was also great, only a short stroll to the harbour front where restaurants and bars are plentiful. Agia Efimia is a really pretty town and a great place for exploring the surrounding area of Kefalonia. All in all a very good experience and would definitely stay again. "
