The Rou Estate is found within the heart of the popular north-east area of Corfu just above Agios Stefanos, already recognized as being one of Corfu's premiere tourist destinations.
The village is perched on a hillside affording a spectacular view looking east across to Albania. Nestling within an olive grove, flanked by undulating hills thus creating seclusion and protection from the elements - qualities that were clearly valuable at the time the village was settled over 200 years ago and which are no less so today.
The 12 houses and outbuildings are each clustered around a central square with terraced gardens of hibiscus, geraniums, local herbs and citrus trees cascading down to the pool areas. The pink and beige pathways and steps inter-connect the houses, archways and gardens, leading you down to the swimming pool complex and health retreat facilities.
