Kalypso Studios & Apartments Google review summary 4.9 50 reviews 5 ★ 4 ★ 3 ★ 2 ★ 1 ★ Reviews on other travel sites Reviews Search reviews hazza0502 5/5 just now on Google We had the pleasure of staying at Despina's for six wonderful nights. The location was perfect for exploring the island and only a short walk into Sami. Despina was an absolutely lovely host. Super friendly, always happy to help, provide recommendations and answer questions. We also loved our little mezze plates when we ordered drinks from the bar. We can fully understand why Kalypso Studios is so well reviewed, we couldn't fault it at all and would love to come back! We borrowed beach towels, umbrellas and chairs for our travels to local beaches which was a kind and helpful gesture. Thoroughly recommend ordering the breakfast, perfect way to start the day and the homemade marmalade was amazing! We're so sad to have left and want to say thanks again for helping us have such an amazing stay.…

10/10. Would stay here again. The service was amazing. Our room always clean. Friendly and willing to help. Host helped us to choice activities, what to do, and where things are. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Feels like having a Greek mother for the week.

An amazing place clean fantastic views and the owners are lovely helpful people . As a result this was our fourth visit. Location is a beautiful 20 minute walk along the beach into Sami or three restaurants and a bakery in the village itself. Beach two minute walk and it was wonderful for a morning dip.

Conveniently located at the same distance (1h by car tops) from the main attractions in Kefalonia. The accommodation offers a nice outdoor space, a garden with a little pool and a terrace. Apartments are very clean, with enough room and smart solutions for luggage storage, fitted with everything you may need, from hair dryer to coffee machine… unless you want to taste the host’s homemade breakfast - healthy and tasty! Likewise, Despina’s husband, Manolis, prepares super fresh Greek Mojitos (and other cocktails too) in a way you won’t forget. Despina and Manolis, with their suggestions and efficient yet warm service, definitely are the added value to a beautiful stay.

When your host welcomes you choosing to wear a union jack tee shirt you know some excellent customer care awaits you. And so it did. In fact, in all our extensive travels we’ve never experienced the level of personal hospitality that came from the owners Despina and Manolis. As for the accomodation itself, it was clean, spacious and had all we needed for a very reasonable price. The lovely shaded veranda at the back was an added bonus. Beach chairs and parasols were there to borrow. And the breakfast on the terrace for €5 was a bargain. We loved the location too. An easy walk for a choice of three tavernas, a five minute drive to the delightful harbour of Sami festooned with places to eat. And a reasonable drive to a couple of beaches. All in all, what’s not to like. And that is surely who so many of our fellow guests come back your after year. Wise move.…

We have just returned from a 3 week stay at The Kalyso Sudios, and what a great time we had ! The owners Despina and Manolis are the perfect hosts, (even if Manolis is a big Liverpool fan😉). The apartment was excellent and cleaned everyday. A reflection of just how good this place is, is the number of people we met there, who have returned to Kalypso numerous times ! Karavomylos has 3 restaurants all within walking distance of the studios and the beach is a 2 minute walk. Sami is about 1 mile away and you walk there along the beach line. All in all, this is the place to stay, and we intend to return next year.

Just home from two weeks in this spotlessly clean hotel and surroundings Breakfast plenty of choice , mainly continental Staff very helpful Pool area, jacuzzi well laid out Try the snack bar , the food is lovely Near a lot of lovely restaurants and the ferry for telendos Only gripe I had was cause of a late return flight I couldn’t get to keep my room on There was t anywhere suitable to wash and change, manager suggested the pool shower (cold) and toilets but it was t very private . Luckily I was allowed to use toilets in the sister hotel zepherous. People from some of the other hotels can use pool area, though it never really was a problem. Lovely peaceful relaxing holiday

Oh my gosh, we had the best holiday ever! We loved staying here and didn't want to leave, even after 3 weeks! Karavomilos and Sami are fabulous places but staying at the Kalypso with Despina and Manilos and family has been the best part. They made us so welcome and they are extremely skilled and friendly hosts. We also made friends with other guests (of course you can keep yourselves to yourselves if you prefer to) The whole place is kept immaculately clean, and you can relax in any area of the lovely garden. Despina and Manilos are happy to help with anything at all, we took their suggestions of where to go and where to eat and visited some excellent places that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. We are home now and missing it so much, we will definitely go back and would highly recommend a stay here.…
