Diamanto Complex

There is no way that this is 2 star accommodation this has to be far the best accommodation I've ever stayed in for many years. Fantastic hosts and great location. If you want the quieter holiday this is absolutely for you. This was our first visit and certainly won't be the last and it's given as a place that gives us all we need, hopefully will become a regular destination.

This is a lovely family hotel. Very friendly, cleaned every day. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Very spacious apartment with double bed, sofa, fridge lots of different cooking utensils. Free safe and air conditioning. Only fault it was 20 mins from Sami. Couple of restaurants nearby but unfortunately no supermarket.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are extremely clean. Air conditioning isn't the best but I do like a cold bedroom! Host, Stelios , was very welcoming. The pool area was very well maintained. It closed between 1500 and 1730. It's not the sort of place where people spend the whole day by the pool as there is a lot to see in the area. So whenever we went it didn't feel too busy. Although it's a 25 minute walk to Sami this was never a chore there and back as it was such a delightful walk so in fact it was a bonus! There is a local taverna and excellent bakery nearby. The beach down the road is stone which may not suit everyone. It is okay for a dip if you don't mind getting in and out on the stones which can be tricky (beach shoes needed). The sea has cold currents. We hired a car and explored the island , which is gorgeous.

We, husband, myself and two teens, stayed in the maisonette, which was right on the pool, very large and well equipped (we used the toastie maker lots!). The air con was good but you needed to keep windows and doors shut for it to work which we got used to. Beds and pillows super comfortable. It was cleaned every day and linen/towels refreshed a few times during the week. We took with us from home some travel coat hangers, citronella candles, coffee, Nutella, rock salt which all came in useful, to save expense at supermarket. We went straight to the Bazar supermarket in Sami after our first Greek meal to stock up for the week. 2ltr of white and red wine €4.50! Owner, whose name I forget, was lovely. He gave us a local taxi firm’s number which we used lots. Pool was fab, quiet and we often had it to ourselves. It did close between 3-5.30pm but we went to the beach or had a siesta ourselves in that time. We ate lunch on the table by the pool on most days and helped ourselves to a few basil leaves that grew in huge plants all around. It was lovely! A few mins walk to bakery and the stone beach (beach shoes vital here) and five mins walk to a few tavernas. The walk into Sami was twenty mins which was fine. Plenty of tavernas (recommend booking the Contestina on Monday for Greek music and dancing) We got a taxi back on most nights €7. One day we walked the five min walk to the Melissani Lake (go before 11am as the queue was huge once the coach trips arrived). We bought a joint ticket to the lake and cave. Popped back for the maisonette to freshen up and from there we got a taxi the Drogarati Cave €15. There’s a taverna there where we ate lunch and used their swimming pool. Lovely! We spent another day at the pool at the campsite, ten min walk on the way to Sami, this was a larger pool and our son could jump and dive etc. we bought drinks and lunch and went into the sea straight from there which was good and we didn’t pay for beds around the pool. All in all, we highly recommend here for a chilled, relaxing, typically Greek holiday.

We have travelled to Greece many times and this accommodation is definitely one of the best we have stayed in. The apartment was modern, spacious, really clean, with all the facilities you could wish for. The owners were extremely friendly, helpful and kept the whole complex incredibly clean, tidy and well maintained. The swimming pool was pristine and a delight to use. Excellent tavernas and cafes were a short walk away, and the complex was a good base for seeing many of the sights in Kefalonia. We highly recommend Diamanto apartments. Thank you for a great week.

Absolutely first class one bedroom apartment. Spotlessly clean with daily cleaning, replacing toilet rolls daily and towels and bed linen often and emptying bins. Apartment has air conditioning in living room and bedroom which is at no extra charge. Two balconies front and back of the apartment which meant you can sit out on either depending on sun direction. Pool is very clean and sun loungers and parasols are ample for guests. Family who run this are the nicest people you could meet and are so caring and helpful. It is a twenty minute walk into Sami along the pebble beach path to shops and supermarkets and a good choice of Tavernas and restaurants. Taxi will cost about € 8 -€10 for a trip to Sami. Had an amazing relaxing holiday here.
