Many distinguished guests have passed through the house since its purchase in the 1960s. Regularly featured in prestigious publications like House & Garden and Architectural Digest, the property arguably holds the title of the most prestigious rental in Patmos and the best garden in Chora.
With four bedrooms, two sitting rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a parlour, and a library, each space reflects Stefanidis’s signature style. Notable features include an original nineteenth-century four-poster bed and exquisite sea blue ceramics, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxation and gathering.
Fragrant jasmine, roses, agapanthus, and herbs fill the space, enhancing the serene environment. Multiple outdoor living areas provide the perfect setting for summer drinks under the shade of olive and cypress trees, while breathtaking sunset views over the sea create a magical backdrop for memorable evenings.
A short stroll through charming narrow streets leads to the Monastery of St. John the Theologian, as well as delightful restaurants and tavernas with breathtaking vistas. Skala, the main port of Patmos, is worth visiting for its vibrant cafes, restaurants, and local boutiques. Renting a car in Skala offers the chance to explore nearby beaches like Grikos and Kampos, both just a short drive away. Boats can also be hired here to discover less accessible beaches in Patmos and the neighbouring islands of Leiposi, Leros, and Marathos. This villa is the perfect base for experiencing the charm and beauty of Patmos.
