Elegant town house 20 meters from sea, shops, restaurants in Agia Marina

A private luxury hideaway in the unspoiled Dodecanese that should be viewed immediately.

Imagine an English Gentleman’s Club or a French fin-de-siecle salon relocated in an ancient Greek house and you have the essence of Agia Marina Bijou. The thickness of its walls implies that fortification was in the architect’s mind and explains why The Bijou is thought to be one of the oldest houses in Agia Marina.
The Bijou was neglected, fell into ruin and for a while lay open to the sky, but in 2020 a painstaking restoration was started that has returned Bijou to its former glory. In keeping with traditional style, the décor reflects the work of a local artist who has revived the (almost lost) art of stencilling. Marble floors in some rooms, wooden floors in others show The Bijou’s opulence, granite worktops and state-of-the-art air-conditioning (for summer) and heating (for winter) show The Bijou is truly a house for all seasons.
Bijou is built around its own courtyard off which lies the guest suite with a King size Victorian brass bed with period furniture and a very Bijou bathroom with shower. There is also a sunny veranda , ideal for breakfast in the morning.
