The Merchants House

Nos regalamos una estadía de dos noches en The Merchant's House mientras nos acercábamos al final de nuestra aventura en Corfu Trail. Cansados ​​y polvorientos, llegamos a una cálida bienvenida por parte de Marieke, quien nos mostró nuestra encantadora habitación de estilo individual. Después de almorzar en una de las grandes tabernas del pueblo, regresamos y encontramos a David instalando su barra de Gin & Tonic en la cómoda terraza. Un gran espacio para relajarse y disfrutar de la belleza y la calma del entorno. Por las mañanas disfrutamos con diferencia del mejor desayuno de nuestro tiempo fuera. Pan casero, conservas, granola con yogurt y frutas. Estábamos demasiado llenos para probar los deliciosos platos con huevo que también se ofrecen. David y Marieke nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Han creado un lugar verdaderamente especial en un lugar hermoso y tranquilo. Realmente espero que podamos volver algún día.

Una visita de regreso para unos días de relajación después del Camino de Corfú. Este es realmente un lugar especial para descansar y relajarse. Preciosas habitaciones, excelente desayuno con ingredientes locales y una vez más impecablemente atendida por Marieke. Muy recomendable.

Booking The Merchant’s House was just perfect, both Marieke and David made it a special place to unwind and relax. From the breakfast selection, really tasty and nutritious, to David’s Gin bar in the evening and the comfortable suites, staying a week here was just a pure delight. Looking forward to come back again soon

After much online research, the planets aligned and we found Saskia and Mark's beautiful B & B in Old Perithia where we were fortunate enough to lodge for three nights. Our stay wasn't nearly long enough! From the minute we contacted the Merchant's House to inquire, to the moment we (sadly) departed, we were taken care of like good friends by Mark and Saskia. They are exceptionally warm, generous, and knowledgeable people who enjoy spending time with their guests, getting to know them, dining with them, and ensuring they have the best possible experience on the island. The village of Old Perithia is beautiful and atmospheric with opportunities for lovely walks all around, flowery meadows, sea views, and easy access to amenities in a nearby town (providing you have a car, of course). The four (or five, depending on the season) tavernas neighboring the B & B serve fresh and delicious food at extremely reasonable prices. Each suite at Merchant's House is sumptuous, and not a single detail in decor or comfort has been overlooked. We loved our breakfasts, particularly when the weather was obliging and we could eat in the garden. In fact, we are still dreaming of thick Greek yogurt topped off with Mark's yummy fig compote. Our stay at Merchant's House was the highlight of our vacation in Corfu, and we are already planning a return visit. Do not miss an opportunity to stay at this unique place!

Treat jostles with treat at The Merchant's House. From the beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms to the scrumptious scrambled eggs and homemade preserves at breakfast, everything is just perfect. Mark and Saskia are such friendly, lovely people for whom nothing is too much trouble. From the very word go they helped us with just about everything...organising a birthday surprise for our friends, taking us on a fascinating guided tour in and around the village, recommending and booking restaurants and taxis, advising us where else to visit in Corfu, the list is endless....they even lent us a camera charger when we had misplaced ours. The setting of Old Perithia is truly magical. The nights are silent, the people and the wild flowers wonderful. Once you are in the village you won't want to leave, and the five tavernas give you every excuse not to. Our favourite was the Capricorn, where Costas cooks and his wife Corinna serves. For me, the gigantes, fried courgettes and tzatziki were out of this world. Be warned Mark and Saskia, we will be back!

We stayed here for a couple of evenings and did not want to leave. Absolutely charming and the owners cannot do enough for you. The room was beautiful and spotless. The little help yourself bar outside was delightful and the garden was a joy whilst we did our studies. Breakfast was thoughtful and because everything is home made you know that an effort is made. We will return and cannot recommend highly enough. An oasis of peace. Thank you
