Our stay felt effortless, we were made to feel so comfortable
Pros:

From start to finish the Melissani hotel was welcoming and felt like home. The roof terrace has such a beautiful atmosphere we wanted to stay up there chatting all night. Amazing view of Sami port, surrounding bay and distant views of Ithaca from our balcony. The owner Heleni was so lovely, was always checking we had everything we needed, including an ice cream before we left for the airport. The stay was so value for money, amazing location so close to bars, restaurants and beaches but still very peaceful even at night. When we go back to Sami we would definitely stay here.

Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

If you are taking the ferry from Sami, then this is the best hotel to stay at. The lady that runs it could not be more helpful and everything was perfect. She even gave us a cold bottle of water each when we arrived.

Cons:

Sami is a lovely little community. We went there to catch the ferry and ended up really enjoying our time there and wishing were staying longer.

Per qualità prezzo un’ottima soluzione per visitare Sami.
Pros:

Posizione centralissima, proprietaria gentile e disponibile che ci ha tenuto i bagagli sia prima del check-in che dopo il check out.

Cons:

Non era l’ultimo palazzo costruito ma cioè non ha intaccato la piacevolezza del soggiorno.

Estuvo bien
Pros:

Muy cerca al puerto donde se toma el ferry para salir de la isla

Cons:

Las habitaciones eran bastantes chicas, parecía más una residencia que un hotel.

Well located, well priced accommodation with lovely views
Pros:

Staff were really friendly. Great location for our night stop in Sami before our ferry to Ithaca. In a quiet area very close to the waterfront tavernas for supper. Beautiful roof terrace with comfy sofas and chairs to enjoy an evening pre dinner drink or a cup of tea in the morning. Comfy beds. Great air conditioning.
