Historic Guest HouseSummary of reviews related to the 'Historic' categoryNestled amid the historic village of Old Perithia on the island of Corfu lies The Merchants House, a superbly restored property that offers guests a glimpse into the island's rich and fascinating past. With centuries-old buildings thoughtfully prepared for the modern traveler, this hotel offers an authentic stay that harks back to the traditional ways of life from 50 to 60 years ago. The hosts are warm and hospitable and have paid attention to every small detail, ensuring guests have an unforgettable experience. The village itself had almost gone to ruin, but the hotel has played a crucial role in the revival of this ancient location. The historical taverns of the host's parents have been brought back to life with the lovingly restored decor featuring furniture made in the carpentry workshop of Queen Elizabeth II. The village, now a protected monument, is a true paradise where nature is taking over the ruins. Overall, The Merchants House is a haven of peace and an ideal spot for travelers looking for an extraordinary and historic escape to Corfu.
