Watched over by Corfu’s highest peak, Mount Pantaktratur, and nestled amongst the hills on the edge of the hamlet of Rou, this stone villa is an enchanting escape for those looking for a slice of secluded bliss. Boasting breathtaking views over the Ionian Sea to Albania and the Greek mainland, you’ll feel a thousand miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Listen to the song of the cicadas and watch eagles soaring above you from the waters of the private pool and retreat from the heat with a grilled-up meal under the shade of the patio. Inside, wood floors, beamed ceilings and exposed stone details sit alongside comfortable contemporary furnishing to create a harmonious blend of old and new. Cuddle up by the wood burner on cooler evenings – a glass of local wine in hand – and relish retreating to the canopied main bedroom for a dreamy night’s sleep with the promise of sea vistas when you wake up. This is the perfect home for two couples or families with older children given the villa’s separate annexe with its own kitchenette.
