Casa Del Mercante

Located within the archaeologically protected area of Palea Perithia, Corfu’s oldest preserved village, this rare property combines historic authenticity with refined contemporary comfort. The property is part of a fully approved and carefully executed restoration of a building dating back more than 300 years, respecting the architectural heritage and cultural significance of the village.

The main building extends to approximately 300 sq.m. and currently operates as a six-suite boutique hotel. Each suite is generously proportioned at around 50 sq.m., offering a level of space and comfort rarely found in traditional village settings. The accommodation includes four one-bedroom suites with bedroom, lounge, and bathroom, one one-bedroom suite with a kitchen, and one twin bedroom.

Complementing the main building is a separate studio apartment, affectionately known as the Goat House, extending to 40.99 sq.m. and offering independent accommodation for guests, staff, or private use. In addition, the property includes a self-contained one-bedroom unit of approximately 60 sq.m., providing further flexibility.

A fully restored heritage property in Corfu’s oldest preserved village, where history and contemporary comfort meet.

The property benefits from private parking—a rare and valuable feature within the village—and also includes a branded 1969 VW Beetle in excellent condition, which can be included in the sale, adding a distinctive element to the property.

There is also potential to expand through the acquisition and restoration of adjacent ruins, subject to the necessary approvals, further enhancing its investment appeal.

Surrounded by cobbled paths, traditional stone architecture, and an unspoiled natural landscape, Palea Perithia is renowned for its sense of tranquility, historical importance, and proximity to Corfu’s sought-after northeast coastline. The village’s protected status ensures the long-term preservation of its unique character, making properties of this scale, condition, and versatility exceptionally rare. 

This is a turn-key opportunity for a boutique hospitality investment, private retreat, or heritage asset in one of Corfu’s most evocative and culturally significant locations.
