Rou Estate Tour

Rou

Skinner & Skinner welcomes you to explore and enjoy the lush gardens of The Rou Estate. Designed by Jennifer Gay and Dominic Skinner, the gardens seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, celebrating the wild flora that once flourished on the site. The wildflower reserve, featuring a selection of native Greek plants, was carefully curated to thrive in the Mediterranean climate, creating a living tapestry of vibrant colors, textures, and scents that evolve with the seasons.

We’ve designed the gardens to invite moments of peaceful reflection, with quiet sitting areas scattered throughout, allowing visitors to enjoy the scent of Mediterranean herbs, the gentle sound of birdsong, and the fresh mountain air. The Rou Estate gardens are a sanctuary where nature and design coexist in perfect harmony, offering a space to reconnect with the beauty of the island and experience Corfu in its most authentic form.

Directions:
We advise against setting your SatNav to Rou from the outset.  This may lead you via a very rough, gravel road. 

We suggest you drive to Porta and from there use the SatNav or drive through Porta heading north-west and round an S bend. Soon after there is a small turning on the left to Rou. Drive approximately 3 kilometres and you will come to a fork, take the turning to Rou.
