What guests think

Travellers consistently praise Smaro Studios for sweeping caldera and sunset views, balcony breakfasts, and genuinely warm service, with many describing spotless rooms and a quiet yet convenient Firostefani location within walking distance of Fira’s restaurants, shops, and transport.

Some suites add private hot tubs and larger outdoor spaces, though a few guests found the tubs not hot enough and noted stairs or stone paths can make luggage transfer challenging. Best suited to travelers seeking intimate lodgings rather than full-scale resorts.

We had the best stay in a two-floor suite with private hot tub. The view was amazing! The breakfast was huge and delicious. Short walk to Fira bus station, shops, and restaurants. Only complaints are the hot tub wasn’t very hot and we had some difficulty finding the hotel reception.

Great stay at Smaro Studios in the luxury suite! Looks better in real life than in pictures, immaculately clean, beautiful view and fairly private as well. Breakfast brought to the patio every morning was wonderful and different each day - omelettes, pancakes, fresh fruits, coffee etc. They are able to store luggage as well. Located in Firostefani away from all the hustle and bustle of Fira, but within 10-15 min walking distance from the numerous restaurants and the bus station in Fira. Highly recommended property and great value for the price.

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.

From the amazing location to the breathtaking views and super luxurious suit our experience with the owners was nothing sort of amazing! I will be returning and staying here again. When I say there is so much to do in the area from shopping to eateries and clubs are all walking distance. We stayed in the exclusive suite which had a shower downstairs and one upstairs with an open concept.The bed was super comfortable and the water got super hot in the shower . Unfortunately, for the jacuzzi that wasn’t the case it was warm no where near hot. But everything else about this property was top tier. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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.

Her sabah cok cesitli ve lezzetli kahvaltimiz balkonumuza geldi. Balkon manzaramiz gemide gibi hissettiriyordu. O kadar guzeldi ki gezmek yerine balkonda oturup manzarayi izlemeyi bile dusunduk. Odada her sey dusunulmustu, bornozlar, vucut ve yuz havlulari vardi ve hepsi tertemizdi. Banyo odanin en ucunda olmasina ragmen havalandirma sayesinde kotu koku asla yoktu. Kahvaltiya ek olarak bircok icecek odada bulunuyordu ve hepsi ikramdi. Calisanlar cok sicakkanli ve ilgiliydi. Son olarak, otel merkeze ve otobus duraklarina cok yakindi ve cevresinde cok guzel restoranlar var. Bir sonraki gezimizde kesinlikle bu otelde kalmayi planliyoruz.

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!

Our flight arrived early in the morning and the room was not ready. The owner was very nice and offered us breakfast on the terrace outside our room. It was a big breakfast too not just a pastry and juice. Once we were able to check in, she showed us everything in the room. While the room was small, it was comfortable and clean. The view of the water is gorgeous. I was able to watch the sunset.

What an absolutely breathtaking location! You cannot beat the view of the Luxury Suite. Every morning, we had our incredible breakfast while sitting on our deck looking out. Wow. That view will stay with me forever. Loved the location, Fira was great and the sunset from my deck was just as great as the one in Oia. If you are on the fence, this place is 100% worth it. Just a note, if you need to communicate prior to your reservation, send an email if you dont speak Greek! I called multiple times and the nice lady simply couldn't understand me, nor I her. Email was the best way to get answers.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The room and view is just as pictured. The breakfast was delicious even as vegans. They really looked after us meeting us to help with luggage and having lovely robes and slippers in the room, it felt like a 4 star service. Room is fairly compact but really lovely, bed extremely comfortable and view amazing, hairdryer powerful and bathroom toiletries good quality. The only small thing I would have liked is hair conditioner. If staying for a while you’d probably want to book a room with some outdoor lounging area rather than just table and chairs but for a short stay this was ideal for us and great value for the location with volcano views. Firastefani is fairly quiet which we really liked too
