The hotel’s 49 rooms are housed on three floors served by a lift. Measuring 18 sq m, all possess double or twin beds, AC, TV, mini-fridge, shower room, hairdryer and a small balcony or a garden terrace with sea, mountain or garden views. WiFi is available in public areas.
The large pool to the front (ladder access) has spacious furnished terrace surrounds and is served by a pool bar serving drinks and snacks. Elsewhere in the well-kept gardens is a tennis court (equipment provided), also table tennis and boules, and yoga sessions are sometimes available.
The beach has sunbeds and umbrellas free of charge for guests - however many prefer the beaches a short distance away. Going north towards pretty Aghia Efimia is a string of pristine white pebble coves and beaches, and beautiful Antisamos beach is a 15-minute drive to the south and has water sports.
Karavomilos has a pair of good local tavernas, a bakery and cafe just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. For more choice a 15-minute walk along the coastal path above the sea brings you to the port of Sami, from where boats depart the short distance over the strait to Ithaca (Piso Aetos, not the main town of Vathy). Sami has a good choice of taverna restaurants, shops and cafe-bars.
The Sami Beach is family run and much praised for its friendly atmosphere and helpful, friendly staff.
