Info

The Venetians gave Spetses its name, pronouncing this small isle off the Peloponnese the ‘Island of Aromas’, on account of its many flowers. It is the natural Beauty of the place, and its close proximity to the main-land, that make Spetses – which you can cycle round in just half a day – so popular with Athenians, who own many of the summer houses here. Cars, apart from occasional taxis, are banned, the pace of life is slow and the views are mesmerising. No wonder, then, that plots of land for building new houses rarely come up for sale and that when they do, they are subject to tight planning restrictions. Designer John Stefanidis was already working with a Greek Cypriot family on their house in London when they told him that they had bought a scenic plot on Spetses, just outside the main town, and that they would like him to design a house on the site. ‘I’ve always admired John’s work,’ says the owner. ‘The great thing about him is that he understands his clients very quickly. So when we got the land, we told him straight away and the two projects in London and Spetses overlapped.’ ► The main house is built round a courtyard; corridors are lined with shuttered windows and french windows lead from one area to another. The courtyard’s inlaid pebble motifs, including concentric circles around the trees, are typical of Spetses.
Decorated in a crisp palette of blue and white, the chestnut-raftered sitting room includes a number of pieces of furniture designed by John Stefanidis, including the “Bridgewater”sofa covered in a stripe fabric by Rogers & Goffigon.
