I stayed for 5 days in the Katerina Caldera View Studio which overlooked the beautiful Aegean Sea with the sunset directly in front of the property. It was quiet and peaceful compared to the tourist packed Fira which was 15-20min walk away. The owners treated us like family and welcomed us. The property provided free breakfast and free mini bar. I enjoyed the sunset from the balcony with a beer. Highly recommended place!

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!
