The Rou Estate is an area of land situated in the north-east of the Ionian island of Corfu. This unique and exclusive heritage site benefits from the most spectacular 270 degree views overlooking Albania, and provides a sanctuary for guests to relax and escape from the stresses and strains of modern life.

The Rou Estate consists of 12 houses and outbuildings that were built over 200 years ago. The distinctive Corfiot design of the village and its traditional concept makes it one of the last remaining of its kind on the island.

Currently the Rou Estate is being developed and restored back to its former glory. By enhancing and sympathetically restoring the architectural quality of the existing buildings, the historic village is being re-established, creating the perfect setting of total tranquility and a feeling of individuality.

The Estate will provide a unique combination of new and old; private luxury houses with all modern comforts, surrounded by traditional Corfiot architecture and areas of outstanding natural beauty providing a very distinctive holiday destination. The estate is enclosed within a beautiful traditionally landscaped environment. In addition to the houses, there is a health retreat complex containing treatment rooms, a mini gym, a large pool and yoga facilities, as well as other spa services.

The environment will ensure exclusivity and exceptional luxury that surpasses the standard currently found anywhere on Corfu.

The Rou Estate will also be able to provide activities and facilities for corporate events, cooking courses, health retreats, painting courses as well as walking trips.
