John Stefanidis' House

As the iconic Patmos home of renowned interior designer and artist, John Stefanidis, this private villa is utterly unique. Nestled in a lush garden, just a stroll away from the main square of Chora, you have the best of both worlds here - relaxed seclusion, village life and magnificent views.

Brimming over with elegant, colourful style, the interiors are a perfect blend of art, antiques and design, set on different levels. A heavenly mix of Anglo-Indian, Venetian and English pieces includes an original nineteenth-century four-poster bed and sea blue ceramics.

Each room opens onto terraces and one of the finest Mediterranean gardens in Chora, bursting with fragrant jasmine, roses, agapathus, gardenias and herbs. After a refreshing sea swim, head back to the villa for summer drinks under olive and cypress trees on the main terrace and the most incredible sunset views across the sea to the west.
