Quiet and Relaxing Stay

The room was cleaned every day, in fact the hold complex was spotless. Both Stelios and Anastasia were very approachable and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The area was really quiet allowing us to relax with no worries. Only 500 metres to Melissani lake/cave also a bonus. Coastal path into Sami took around 25-30 mins at a leisurely pace. There were 3 restaurants nearby in Karavomylos but plenty in Sami. There is a mini-market on the square for essentials but best go into Sami supermarkets for cheaper products. Will definitely make a return visit in the future.

struttura da evitare. se ti ammali e dall'ospedale scrivi il messaggio per avvisare che causa forza maggiore non ti puoi presentare, non ti rimborsano almeno parzialmente e non ti danno nemmeno un buono da spendere l'anno prossimo presso la loro struttura. una vera e propra vergogna. il codice del turismo prevede altro, anche in assenza di polizza assicurativa ma questo aspetto gli è sconosciuto. né io né chi conosco metteremo piede in Diamanto Studios a Cefalonia.

The property is beautifully maintained and Stellios is an excellent host. The added bonus of the swimming pool was great. The property is located just outside Sami, which is a really good centre and has lots of nice tavernas. Sami is a 30 minute walk away along the seashore. Highly recommend Studios Diamanto - you won't be disappointed.

This property is amazing! It’s in an amazing location, on a quiet residential street but not too far out. The rooms are extremely clean and have everything you need for a holiday including cooking facilities. Sami is about a 25 minute walk away along the seafront which is a lovely walk in the evening. I could not recommend these apartments more, we will definitely coming back!!

appartamentino x tre persone piccolino ma funzionale e ben servito.Pulitissimo con cambio giornaliero di lenzuola e asciugamani. Vista mare e piscina, pure quella pulissima. Ambiente Silenzioso e gradevole. Il proprietario gentilissimo e sempre sorridente.Anche quando gli abbiamo combinato un guaio in cucina ha risolto tutto senza batter ciglio. Grande Stelios. L'unica cosa che mi sento di suggerire è mettere a disposizioneun paio di lavatrici, anche a gettone. Grazie per la splendida vacanza. La location è perfetta: vicino a Sami dove si può fare spesa e shopping e alle spiagge più famose di Antisamos e Myrtos. Ma in un un'ora si raggiunge praticamente ogni punto interessante della meravigliosa Cefalonia. Super consigliato.

Delusione

Facile da raggiungere. Parcheggio nella strada adiacente non sempre agevole.Posizione a qualche minuto di macchina dal centro di Sami; una struttura divisa in due edifici separati dalla strada. L'accoglienza è stata buona ( nei limiti del possibile: siamo arrivati alle 8 di sera e ad aspettarci c'era il padre del proprietario, che però parlava solo greco). Ciò che ci ha contrariato parecchio è stata la discrepanza tra la descrizione della camera che avevamo prenotato e la realtà: la camera con vista piscina esiste,ma è nell'altro edificio,mentre la nostra era sulla strada (piano leggermente rialzato) e la piscina la intravedevamo a fatica oltre la ringhiera di recinzione dall'altra parte. Di accappatoi nemmeno l'ombra, ma presenti i classici asciugamani di tutte le strutture alberghiere.Anche la privacy non era eccellente in quanto,essendo a livello della strada da una parte e del cortile interno dall'altra,dovevamo tenere sempre tirate le tendine delle varie finestre-finestrelle. Bagno piccolo con piatto doccia e tendina in dotazione (di soffione della descrizione neanche l'ombra,solo doccia " a telefono" tradizionale). Ci è rimasta netta la sensazione che ci abbiano dato una camera diversa da quella prenotata ( che esiste ma è nell'edificio adiacente). Zona cottura funzionale con discreta dotazione di stoviglie ed altro. WI-FI molto lento (5Mbs) difficile da utilizzare senza continue,irritanti interruzioni, nei momenti di maggior accesso da parte degli altri ospiti.

Spotless rooms with great pool and lovely host!

We had a great time with our parents staying at Diamanto. The rooms were simple, spacious and were cleaned everyday. The pool was large and very well maintained, we had it to ourselves most of the week! Stelios and his family were charming, making time to talk to us and giving us recommendations of places all over the island.

Quel accueil

De loin l'hôtel avec des hôtes qui nous bichonne autant. L'hôtel est vraiment confortable, la literie est très bien. La piscine est juste merveilleuse, j'y serai resté des heures ce qui est très rare pour une frileuse comme moi. L'île est sympa mais il faut vraiment une voiture car si l'hôtel est juste à côté de la mer il est pas vraiment à côté des plages.
