The Merchants House, a refined four-star guest house in the historic village of Perítheia, Corfu, offers a serene escape in a heritage-protected setting, surrounded by lush gardens and mountain vistas.

Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, the guest house's air-conditioned rooms feature private entrances, patios or balconies with captivating mountain views, and elegant interiors with plush linens, flat-screen TVs, coffee machines, fridges, minibars, safes, and kettles. Private bathrooms with walk-in showers include premium toiletries, bathrobes, and towels, creating a tranquil haven that blends rustic charm with modern comfort.

While The Merchants House does not have an on-site restaurant, a daily continental or vegetarian breakfast is served, featuring fresh fruits, yogurts, and artisanal pastries, with in-room dining and packed lunches available for day trips. The nearby village tavernas, a short stroll away, offer authentic Corfiot cuisine, such as fresh seafood and sofrito, paired with local wines. A tranquil garden provides a serene space for relaxation, while curated walking tours, bike hire, and car rentals facilitate exploration of Corfu's scenic trails and nearby beaches. The peaceful setting, once a hideaway from pirate attacks, invites guests to unwind under clear night skies amidst fresh mountain air.

Located 45 km from the Port of Corfu, 46 km from the New Fortress and Ionio University, and 46 km from Corfu International Airport, The Merchants House offers seamless access to the island's cultural and coastal treasures, ensuring an unforgettable and refined escape.
