Venturing beyond Kerkyra, the main town of Corfu, to explore the inland nature of this island, is a must. Quaint, traditional fishing villages, sun-drenched beaches, wide fertile plains, towering, flora covered mountains and a huge diversity of local fauna exist in idyllic harmony. There are over 600 species of wild flowers and an abundance of olive trees covering the island.... More

Why would you not want a place to relax with family and friends to be secluded and a bit away from everything? Yes you need to travel for a bit, yes you are away from others, but isn't that the point... Highly recommend the place

My family and I recently spent 1 week at Villa Strelitzia had a lovley time, coming home feeling totally recharged. It is located up in the hills above Corfu town with maginificent sea views which you never tire of, and is part of an estate which conveniently has a restaurant and spa. We ate lunch in the restaurant a few... More

It was my first trip to Corfu and as we rounded the corner to the Rou Estate I felt confident we had chosen well. We stayed in a house called Strelitzia which has 4 bedrooms and a great open plan kitchen/dining room above a double height living room.

Apart from a wonderful garden, and a cosy, large covered terrace, there is also a private swimming pool. Besides the private pool,... More

Each time my family and I visit Rou, we are stunned by the beauty of its secluded location and romantic atmosphere. This little sleepy restored village with its beautiful houses has now already three times been our base for a quiet week away from everything. The wonderful location in the hills above the sea, the professional landscaping, gardens & flowers... More

After a lovely few days in Kalami we drove up and up and up and up...well you get the idea, along a dirt track to reach the welcoming dustbins of the Rou Estate. We had booked directly with the owner, paid £200 for a housekeeper (who turned up once), enjoyed eight of us sharing one, Luke warm shower, had the... More

Rou was paradise. We all really, really enjoyed it there. We were 6 staying in Muscari - a mix of ages - 2 teenagers (18), a 10 and 5 year old. It was relaxing, quiet, beautiful but enough to do to keep us all amused for the week. I think the 18 yr olds were ready to move on to... More
