The Villa (Plumbago) was beautiful. The private pool was lovely and having access to the an on-site restaurant 4 days of our stay was great - especially as navigating the track leading to the estate was quite an adventure. The friend I went with stays in 5* resorts in the Maldives every year and commented that our Villa was even better. A lovely holiday and a fabulous company. I’d definitely use them again.
Plumbago is a truly beautiful, peaceful, private and perfect place - we had a gorgeous and relaxing week. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay at Rou. This is our second stay (although third trip with Simpson) and stayed in the beautiful Plumbago. Gaynor, Gayle and the team were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We also used Chef Lynn, along with Tina. Lynn has cooked for us for all our trips and along with Tina make a great team. The food is just delicious and Corfu would not be the same without them.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing villa. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I was amazed at the beauty of the villa and the gorgeous blue pool. Many thanks.
What a place! First of all, the views are like nothing else I have ever seen. The pool was great and we all had a fantastic time.
We really enjoyed our one week in Villa Plumbago. Stupendous views, relaxing by the pool, supper on the terrace and the girls feeding the cats! Lovely estate and everyone was very helpful.
Thank you so much for letting us stay here. It has been great and the view is something else. The pool is wonderful and I love the name Plumbago!
We chose plumbago as a perfect location to renew our wedding vows on our 40th anniversary. It certainly met our expectations.
Thank you. We have had a great week in a great place. Very good.
Another fantastic week in paradise for our grateful clan of 11. All three generations had a magical time, the sun shone constantly, Gaynor & her team did a superb job, the tavernas were as tempting as ever and we really, really cannot wait to do it all over again! Huge thanks.
Thank you for an amazing seven days with you in this wonderful villa. We loved the pool, the view and some fantastic trips on the boat and to tavernas; great food. Look forward to returning soon. Thank you to Gaynor and her team.
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay at beautiful Plumbago on the Rou Estate. Whilst very quiet and off the beaten track it was easy to access the local restaurants and activities such as day trips in motor boats, diving at Apollo sub diving and mountain biking in the area. Our children made good use of the communal pool although we had our own large infinity pool with amazing views. The whole Rou estate is beautiful and the on site small taverna and excellent spa made the week very relaxing. The addition of our local chef (Spiros) made for a perfect week.
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
