About this property

Steps from the Ionian Sea, literally 10m from barefoot bliss!

Jacaranda is part of a charming seafront complex in the quiet village of Karavomylos, just 2 km (or a breezy 20-minute beach stroll) from Sami. Picture lush gardens, a shared pool perfect for cooling off, and a beach just 10 steps away, lined with whispering eucalyptus trees and dreamy views across to Ithaca. We’re not saying it’s paradise... but if the flip-flop fits!

In the village, you’ll find a lovely little bakery/café (dangerously close if you’ve got a weakness for fresh pastries) and a handful of traditional tavernas all within easy walking distance. Sami offers more action, restaurants, supermarkets, butchers, bakeries, pharmacy, even an ATM if you forget to bring euros for that extra scoop of gelato.

You don’t need a car, taxis are easy to find ,but if you're feeling adventurous, Kefalonia is worth exploring. Karavomylos is nicely central, so everything’s within reach. Want to hop to Ithaca, the mainland, or even Italy? Ferries await just down the road.

Inside the apartment, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with roomy 3/4 twin beds (great for kids or starfish-style sleepers). The sofa in the lounge opens into a double bed too, just in case the whole crew’s along for the ride. There’s a SMART TV, free Wi-Fi for streaming or staying connected, and a kitchen fully stocked for your inner MasterChef—hob, oven, toaster, fridge-freezer, coffee machine, washing machine, even an iron for the very brave.

Families, you’re sorted: we’ve got a cot and high chair ready. And outside? French doors open to a sweet patio with dining for six and a small gated garden, perfect for sipping wine while the sun sets or letting the little ones roam (semi) free.

Oh, and yes, we’ve got all the towels covered, including beach ones. Just bring your swimsuit and your holiday spirit.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
We're a friendly team from Welcomehost, a Greek-based company that’s all about making your stay as smooth and relaxing as a Sunday in the sun. While the apartment is UK-owned, we’ve got local agents right here in Kefalonia, real people who know the island inside out and are ready to help if you need anything, from lost keys to last-minute restaurant tips.
We love hosting because it’s like welcoming new friends from around the world into places we truly care about. And let's be honest, who wouldn’t want to share a little slice of Greek paradise?

Why they chose this property

Karavomylos is one of those places you stumble upon and instantly think, “Okay, I could live here.” It’s just outside the charming port town of Sami, which means you're close to the action, but far enough to hear the waves and not the crowds. The beach is practically on your doorstep, the views are unreal, and in summer you’ll find everything you need within walking distance, from fresh bread and local feta to beach bars and ice cream worth writing home about.
We chose this spot for its easy, breezy vibe and central location ,it’s the perfect base for exploring the whole island. Plus, there's a magic in the light here... sunsets over the Ionian Sea just hit different.

What makes this property unique

It’s rare to find a place that’s just 10 metres from the sea, with a peaceful garden, a shared pool and all the comforts of home, yet here we are. Whether you’re an early bird catching the sunrise barefoot on the beach or someone who prefers poolside lounging with a freddo espresso in hand, this place has you covered.
The apartment is set up with everything you need, smart TV, fully-equipped kitchen, washing machine, even beach towels, because who wants to pack heavy for a summer escape? It’s family-friendly, couple-approved, and perfect for a relaxed, no-fuss holiday. We’ve put thought into all the details so you can simply show up and enjoy.
