The Estate is the creation of British architect Dominic Skinner who, with his Dutch wife Claire, bought the entire village in 2004 and meticulously restored the ruins to develop a stunning and peaceful retreat. This exclusive Estate is unique on the island, offering luxury holiday accommodation and a discrete service similar to a boutique hotel.
Guests at the Rou Estate have come to enjoy the seclusion, gardens and comfort of the Estate and the personal unobtrusive service offered by the Estate staff. The Rou Estate has been voted No 1 Best Mountain Escape in Greece (Harpers Bazaar); No 5 Top Greek Retreats (Harpers Bazaar); and No 36 Top 100 Places to Stay in the World (Times UK).
