The Merchant House

An imposing restored double-storey merchant house on the hill behind the Aliki Hotel in Harani, set in a terraced garden.   Access is up two flights of steps from the quay side. The lower storey is a comfortable modern apartment for up to six people.  The ambience is cool tiles and breezy Mediterranean living.

Entrance from the garden terrace furnished with patio furniture leads into a salon with a dining area and open plan kitchen with electric hob (no oven).  A moussandra above the kitchen area is fitted with a double bed.  There are two separate double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Upstairs there is a second apartment for four with a more traditional feel.  This has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en suite.  Entrance is from the steps up the side of the property, leading into a large paved courtyard at the back of the house.  This does not have views although there is access to a roof terrace on a private building in the grounds.  An entrance from the courtyard opens into a central hallway with the bedrooms on either side.  A large salon runs the full width of the front of the upper storey with sea views over the roof tops from the balcony and windows.  An open plan kitchen/dining area similar to the one downstairs is on one side of the salon and the other side has comfortable sofas for lounging.  This upstairs apartment has a television and a washing machine.

The Merchant House is ideal for two families holidaying together who want private and communal space.  The two apartments can also be rented separately.
