I recently stayed at Amaro Studio, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room, jacuzzi, among others were spotless and well-appointed, with a stunning view of the sea and whole neighborhood. One highlight was the kind attention of the host. The location was also ideal, conveniently close to main attractions. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the team went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend Amaro to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway and unforgettable vacation. Thank you to the amazing host for making our stay truly memorable. I’ll definitely be returning!

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff and an amazing location. It was our honeymoon and they left a complimentary bottle of wine in our room along with some snacks, which we enjoyed whilst watching the sunset from our balcony. Eating breakfast (which was brought to our room every morning!) from our balcony, also was beautiful. Thank you!

Amazing views and excellent service! They went above and beyond with their services. Far enough from the main areas of Fira that you get your own spot but also close enough to walk there.

Smaro studios is a beautiful property with private suites facing the caldera. It's worth noting that it is a 10-15 minute walk downhill to Fira, although the bus stop is close and viable, and that each evening you'll fight the uphill on a full stomach. The manager/owner is helpful and the suites are kept cleaned daily. Ultimately a very nice getaway and would rebook again.

The property was in a perfect location. We found that our sunset view of the caldera was best from our hotel balcony and private hot tub. The only things we would request be improved are the temperature on the hot tub as it was more of a “cool tub” and the simple addition of a “Do Not Disturb” sign for the housekeeper. The owner and son were wonderful and very delightful to work with. Unfortunately, the housekeeper would come without fail every time we would take a shower which placed unnecessary pressure on us. All can be solved with the addition of a DND sign. Overall phenomenal stay with minor improvements. We loved Smaro Studios.

The stay at Smaro Suites was excellent. The room was very spacious and clean. It had all the amenities you needed and the location was great. The team there is also great. They went above and beyond in helping to make all requests and accomodations. Whatever we needed we asked and they made it happen. They are very nice and allowed us to stay on the property and even use a Jacuzzi after we checked out and waited until our flight in the evening. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone searching for a great place to stay with good views and a very friendly staff!
