Smaragdi

A lovely, charming hotel. From start to finish the service was brilliant. Everyone is so helpful and are happy to help make plans etc... especially Maria, she is lovely. The rooms are clean, comfy and feel like home whilst you are there. The pool area is spotless, quiet & a nice place to just relax. The vending machine has a few snacks snd drinks. It would be nice to be able to grab a little breakfast in the morning... however I can understand the business decision against this as there are so many restaurants, a couple a bakeries and shops close by. So you won't go hungry (oh and we saw some people having food delivered so that's something you can do it guess) We will definitely be returning when we next visit Santorini.

Excellent services 2 minutes from the sea. The staff is always very kind, rooms very clean.

My friend and I stayed at Smaragdi Hotel in Perissa from July 25–29, 2026 for a leisure trip, and we had a genuinely wonderful experience. The hotel offers an ideal combination of cleanliness, comfort, affordability, and convenience, making it a great choice for travelers who want a beautiful and safe place to stay without overspending. 🌿 Clean, Quiet & Well‑Maintained One of the first things we noticed was how clean and well‑kept the entire property is. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. The grounds were tidy and peaceful, creating a relaxing environment throughout our stay. Even though Perissa is a lively beach area, the hotel itself feels calm and quiet, perfect for unwinding after exploring Santorini. 👥 Friendly & Helpful Staff The staff were consistently warm, friendly, and helpful. They assisted us with anything we needed and arranged all our transportation, which made getting around the island much easier. A helpful tip for future travelers: if you book a transfer to Fira or Oia, make sure you also arrange your return transfer. We didn’t realize everything closes around midnight, and when we tried to get back to Perissa, the only option was a taxi charging premium late‑night rates. We ended up paying about €20 extra, so planning ahead is definitely worth it. 🍽️ Food Options & Amenities While the hotel does not offer room service, breakfast can be added to your stay. There’s also a vending machine stocked with snacks, water, drinks, and even alcoholic beverages, which turned out to be very convenient. It’s a simple amenity, but it made grabbing quick refreshments easy. 🌊 Excellent Location The location is one of Smaragdi Hotel’s biggest strengths. It’s only half a block from Perissa’s black sand beach, making it incredibly easy to walk back and forth throughout the day. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a small supermarket where you can pick up snacks or essentials to keep in your room. Everything you need is within walking distance, and the neighborhood feels safe and welcoming. 🚍 Transportation Notes Santorini’s transportation can vary depending on the time of day. Hotel-arranged transfers are reliable and fairly priced. Local buses are the cheapest option, though they can be crowded and slower. Late-night taxis can be expensive, so arranging transportation ahead of time is the best way to avoid unexpected costs. 🌟 Overall Impression We had no complaints at all during our stay. Everything was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Smaragdi Hotel is a fantastic option if you’re cost‑conscious but still want a clean, safe, and pretty place to stay. We would absolutely book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Perissa or looking for a relaxing, well‑priced stay in Santorini.
