About the host
Hosted by Christiana Stritzi
My name is Christiana, I am an archeologist living mainly in Athens. Olvio is my family house, one of the oldest houses in the town of Sami, that I renovated with a lot of love and care in 2019. My aim is to warmly welcome my guests and create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. The furniture, equipment and decoration are selected with extra care to provide you with luxury and comfort. I will be happy to welcome you soon in our special place!
Why they chose this property
Sami is a historic village and Olvio is one of the oldest houses. I love this place and I would really like to share this feeling with my guests!
What makes this property unique
Olvio House stands in a prime position on the charming coastal road in Sami village.
It offers access to all the important amenities within walking distance and a great sea view. The sandy beach of Sami, where you can relax, is only 200 meters away. Sami is located in the center of the island, so it is the perfect base for exploring the beauties of Kefalonia.
