The Rou Estate
The Rou Estate is an exclusive, privately owned estate in a magnificent location high above the northeast coastline of Corfu. The 200-year old village, with a village square lined with plumbago, agapanthus and numerous connecting steps, is nestled within sheltering hills in a sun-drenched position with breathtaking views, about 10/15 minutes drive from the sea.The Rou Estate was rated No.36 in The Times list of The World's Best Holidays in 2007.
The luxury development of 13 private houses, most of them original village houses, renovated to a very high standard, is set within a wildflower garden designed by Jennifer Gay, Designer and Member of The Mediterranean Garden Society.
Each house covers approximately 100-250 square metres over two floors, and whilst the comfortably settled atmosphere has been retained, modern technology has contributed a great deal to the luxurious interiors, stylish kitchens and floor cooling in summer. Each house has its own plunge pool with outside terraces and a shared 26m swimming pool.
