About this apartment rental
Jacaranda is part of a seafront complex in the village of Karavomylos, approximately 2km outside the small port of Sami. Set amid pretty gardens and with a shared swimming pool, the complex is only 10 metres from a quiet beach lined with eucalyptus trees and wonderful views of Ithaca. Within the village, a mini-market, bakery and several traditional tavernas are all within easy walking distance, and a 20 min walk along the beach takes you to the town of Sami with its many restaurants, supermarkets, butchers, bakeries, pharmacy and ATM . A car is not necessary and taxis are readily available but it is well worth exploring the stunning island of Kefalonia and Karavomylos is in a good central position to reach all areas easily. Organised tours of the island, car and bike hire can be arranged from Sami and it is possible to catch the ferry to various locations including Ithaca, the Greek mainland and Italy.
The apartment offers 2 bedrooms, one with large 3/4 size twin beds, one with a double bed and plenty of storage space. In the lounge area the sofa opens into a double bed for 2 more guests if required. There is a SMART television player in the lounge and free Wi-fi for guests to use. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering holidays with hob, oven, toaster, crockery, utensils, fridge freezer, coffee machine, washing machine and iron to make your stay comfortable. A cot and high chair are also provided. Outside there are french doors opening onto a patio with a dining area seating six and a small gated garden. There are also sun beds and a barbecue for guests to use if they wish. Towels, beach towels and linen are all provided.

+ location of the apartment to the local taverna and a 15/20 min stroll into Sami was lovely
+ very quiet, peaceful beach at the front of the complex block and a short walk to the local beach
+ good to have a pool on site which was nice and clean
+ nearby bakery was wonderful for breakfast and snacks and a very short walk
- We had trouble finding the apartment entrance following the directions given when we first got there. The people who manage Meliti apartments, which is the name of the complex and have a number of apartments on site, were extremely rude and unhelpful
- photos of the apartment were a little misleading. the photos and description made it look like the apartment is facing the sea - you are actually looking at the back of an apartment block and entranceway.
- the floor in the apartment and veranda looked like it had not been swept in weeks. I had to brush both when we arrived.
- supermarket is in Sami so be prepared for a good walk with groceries/water or get a taxi
Overall we had a pleasant stay once we settled in as most of the time was spent outdoors.

Nice property, private garden, very close to the sea

The apartment is in a great location, close to the beach and tavernas, and a lovely walk along the seafront into Sami. Check-in was easy, and communications with Litsa who manages it were quick and easy. We had a lovely stay.

My family had a wonderful time staying in the apartment at Karavomylos. It was very clean, had what was needed to cook meals in and was within easy access to the beach. The shared pool was excellent. It was a lovely 20 minute walk along the beautiful coast into Sami where the restaurants were excellent.

The location is stunning and this apartment makes for a wonderful holiday.

We had a wonderful week in kefalonia, the apartment was clean and spacious with everything you need. The pool area as lovely with beautiful views of the Ionian sea. A week of reading, relaxing with great food.
My only comment would be that the front garden does need to be attention as it is a little overgrown

We very much enjoyed our stay here for 5 days. The accommodation is very clean and well equipped. We woke up every morning to do a sunrise swim and used the close vicinity of Sami town regularly. There is also very good parking access. I would absolutely recommend staying here. Would come back!

Unbeatable location, excellently equipped, spacious and, most importantly, with perfectly working air-con!

Exactly what we wanted, quiet peaceful location, lovely beach with very few people. One or two minor issues were resolved very quickly. Taverna by the beach a bit disappointing but the bakery VitoSquared on the main road was fantastic. The mini market has closed down so had to go into Sami which was a simple 20 minute walk along the beach path. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again . Thanks Marianne and Litsa for all your help

Had a wonderfully relaxing break in Karavomylos for a week. Access to pool and small pebble beaches is great as well as the taverna down the road. Very close to melisani cave as well. Overall had a great time, would not stay in karavomylos longer than about a week as travel around the island is not quick and roads are enough to make you sea sick.
Apartment was as stated online, would offer one suggestion it would be to close in the shower. As I am pregnant was a little nervous getting in and out with all the water splashed onto the tiles.
Thanks Marianne for all your help! Wonderful host who is super quick to respond and very accommodating.

the apartment is spacious, modern, equipped and very comfortable. very close to the sea and with a nice pool. the owner is always available and kind. the village is peaceful. It is necessary to have the car to move to the nearby centers. The room with the 2 single beds faces the street, is a bit noisy, perhaps it would be necessary to install the air conditioning there too. I recommend installing a shower box in the bathroom to prevent the bathroom from spreading with every shower, for children it can become dangerous. thank you for everything, we had a great time. See you soon.

The apartment is wonderful, and really well stocked with everything you could need. We often have to buy cleaning products and food basics (condiments, tea, coffee etc) in self-catering properties, but there were plentiful supplies of everything, including washing powder, bleach, cooking basics. The beds are also very comfortable.
Marianna is really helpful and only a text message away.
The only slight negative was that the apartment hadn't been cleaned very thoroughly - the corners of the floors and skirtings had not been swept, but overall the cleanliness was fine, in particular the kitchen area and bathroom. The twin bedroom could also benefit from an air conditioning unit .
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property - we would be more than happy to return here :)

We really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well equipped apartment. We were really impressed by our taxi transfer from the airport which had been arranged by Harry, who was waiting to greet us when we arrived. Harry was also really helpful throughout our stay, arranging car hire, responding to our questions and sorting a taxi back to the airport with friendly efficiency.
We liked the location, and enjoyed the walk into Sami most days and taking the beach chairs across the road to watch the sunset was another real treat - we saw a kingfisher several times.
We’ve been to Kefalonia several times now, but this was our favourite place to stay.

My husband & I spent 10 nights in this apartment in October, and other than a few maintenance jobs that need attending, it is a very good rental. The location was great for exploring the whole island, very central, and there are a couple of wonderful beaches nearby.
Unfortunately, there is a very musty mildew smell that greets you on arrival, and has permeated the kitchen cabinets. This was due to either a flood, or the plumbing under the sink, and would be difficult to resolve, but must be attended to if this is going to be a rental suite.
You must also be a cat lover, as every time we opened the patio doors to vent the air, one of many cats invited itself inside. Not something easily fixed, especially in Greece, where its abound! They are friendly enough, just a bit annoying at times.
The suite was spotlessly clean, and Herminie was very helpful and pleasant to work with. We arrived in the dark, and did not have instructions on how to find this particular unit, but wandered around the complex until I recognized the pictures from the website and found the key in the door. It seems she had been given our wrong contact number, so wasn't able to call us.
Lastly, we have never mastered the art of the "wet room" shower, and dislike having to mop the entire bathroom after every shower. Perhaps a shower rod & curtain could be installed to solve this problem for us North American renters that aren't used to this?
The place is very well equipped with cooking utensils and linens, and being able to pop a couple of lounges into the trunk when we went to the rocky beaches was lovely! Perhaps a few higher wattage light bulbs would brighten the dark spaces too?
Thank you for a good stay!

We loved every minute of our stay - Hermoine was very welcoming and full of helpful info & tips. Best beach Petani & best restaurant Paradise on the hill at Agia Efimia. We visited so many places & Karavamylos is a brilliant base to explore from.

Well stocked and well maintained property. Modern decor, comfortable bedrooms, One twin, one double. Nice kitchen. Everything clean and in good working order. Excellent help on hand from Hermione who booked us taxis, gave us good advice and lent us parasols for the beach! Really close to beach. other beaches- all lovely- all accessible from apartment. Great little pool- clean, warm, pleasant surroundings.

What a find! We were so happy here! It's just how it looks in the pictures, 5 seconds walk and you're on the beautifully natural coast line with a sea view I never wanted to stop looking at! The apartment was lovely and very well equipped. Help is always at hand from Hermione and Regina who can't do enough for you, they were just so lovely, We've never been so well looked after but they were always careful not to be intrusive, they are amazingly good at their jobs, we feel like we've made 2 new friends. Really loved the pool, it's also in a beautiful setting.Loved Karavomilos too, un-touristy, a naturally charming little place with really friendly people.As you can probably tell, I think we'll be going back!!

Karavomylos proved to be a lovely choice for our 11 day. Holiday. The location perfect between 2 small ports, one of which is an easy walk along the sea shore. You'll find plenty of choice of Tavernas in both places. The property was spotlessly clean and decor fresh. The Management couldn't have been more helpful and friendly assisting us in every possible way, advice on trips (great) where best for seafood etc.Sadly, nothing is perfect and the 2nd bedroom at the rear proved to be a big problem from the point of view of noise from intermittent busy road traffic. Its only window which is high up opens out at pavement level on the other side only a few meters from the road. The rumble and roar of lorries etc, was at times unbelievable. This wouldn't be a problem if you were just a couple or needed the 2nd bedroom for children who could perhaps sleep through lots of loud noise. Pack earplugs!

Relaxing stay in great accommodation on a beautiful island. We'll be back!
