Puppet Guest House

Top choice in Corfu Town


Above a slightly eccentric bar full of string puppets, this wonderful guesthouse has big, bright rooms and fairy-tale decor and art that certainly grab the attention! Some of the rooms have balconies overlooking the pretty town-hall square and a sea of terracotta rooftops. A great breakfast is included, as is engrossing conversation with the genial owner.

Book ahead.
