Kalypso Studios & Apartments

Let's start by saying that the welcome was super! The owner, Despina, who speaks perfect Italian, immediately made us feel at ease, explaining the dynamics of the property and offering us a delicious and very fresh homemade lemonade in the garden in front of the apartments. For the entire duration of our stay, she, with her husband Manolis and their three children, always discreetly, made themselves available for every need and provided us, upon request, with useful advice on where to go to the beach, where to eat, what to see, etc.; it was very pleasant to chat about everything with this beautiful and very nice family, as if we had known each other forever! Rating 10 for the cleanliness of the studios and apartments. Every day the rooms were cleaned with care, inside and also outside on the delightful private patio surrounded by plants, which is the real gem of the accommodation! Change of bath towels every 3 days and change of sheets once a week. The breakfast, definitely a must-try, is rich and genuine, especially the omelets and the jam, prepared by Despina. The accommodations are furnished in a simple but functional way, with new and colorful furniture. There are screens on all doors and windows. The Wi-Fi works very well. Rating 10 also for the location: Karavomylos, which is about a mile and a half walk from Sami along a beautiful waterfront, is a strategic place to tour Kefalonia since it is located in the center of the island, so both the south and the north but also the west side can be reached in less than an hour by car, therefore it is the ideal starting point for traveling in any direction. But above all, Karavomylos is a picturesque village that rises directly on the sea, practically a stone's throw from the house, and even in August the beach in front was never crowded; finally, very importantly, Karavomylos is the coolest place on the whole island, in the evening you sleep without needing to turn on the air conditioning and in this scorching month of August, it was a real lifesaver. I thank the owners, Despina and Manolis, and their children again for their warm hospitality, we will definitely return because this is the Greece we love.

We just returned from vacation and we confirm all the positive reviews. Despina and her family are very hospitable; it is like being part of their beautiful family for the entire vacation. We recommend this property to everyone, close to the island's strategic points. Thanks for everything Giacomo, Francesca, Ludovica, and Tommaso

We’ve just returned from a relaxing eleven days, staying at Kalypso Apartments. A beautiful apartment in a beautiful village. A Short walking distance from the beach, restaurants and tavernas. The rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped. A much needed, very quiet ceiling fan in the bedroom was a lifesaver. There was also air conditioning in the room, but we didn’t use it as the terrace off of the bedroom was shaded. The private garden outside, where breakfasts are served was stunning. It was very quiet and peaceful. Despina ( I hope I’ve spelt that right) was lovely and couldn’t have done anymore to make our stay perfect. Her son Jason was a great host too. We would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation, We had the most perfect time. Thank you Despina and Jason, best wishes Brent and Diana xx
