Hotel Description

Perantzada Hotel 1811
 

PERANTZADA HOTEL 1811:
In the beginning there was a 19th century neoclassical mansion, that even the eye of the most common observer could transform it to a unique architectural masterpiece. This mansion has now become the Perantzada…1811 Hotel. Our decorators have revived it turning it into a great small boutique hotel. All great names of contemporary design, like Varner Panton, Tom Dixon, Ingo Mauer and Philip Stark are hosted here. Feel the Ionian breeze, rest on the Belle Époque armchairs or walk on the 19th century Persian carpets.
Upon your departure you will be carrying in your luggage the light blue from the hotel’s terrace and the memories of the warmest island hospitality.
