Plumbago House

Nestled in the heart of the legendary North East Coast of Corfu, Plumbago House is more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary of serenity and timeless beauty. This extraordinary five-bedroom stone residence, set within the exclusive embrace of the Rou Estate, whispers stories of tranquility, elegance, and breathtaking vistas at every turn.

From the moment you arrive, a sense of privacy and exclusivity envelops you, making it clear that this is a retreat unlike any other. The house itself is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship, built with local stone and finishes that echo the island’s rich heritage. Completed in 2010, it marries rustic charm with modern comfort—spacious, stylish, and imbued with a warmth that welcomes you home.

Step onto the upper terrace, where the world seems to pause. This expansive outdoor space, wrapping gracefully around the house, offers sweeping panoramic views of the shimmering Ionian Sea, where the azure waters meet the distant mountains of Albania. Here, time slows as you breathe in the salty air, surrounded by lush, terraced gardens that cascade gently down to ancient olive trees and fragrant lavender.

Inside, the interiors invite light and comfort with vaulted wooden beam ceilings, elegant stone archways, and hand-chipped stone accents that speak of craftsmanship and tradition. The drawing room, with its cozy fireplace and a library nook, offers a perfect haven for quiet reflection. Nearby, a snug TV room and a well-equipped kitchen with a central island and generous dining space become the heart of joyful gatherings. French doors open seamlessly onto the terrace, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out, where outdoor dining and lounging under a retractable awning await.

Descending to the lower level, five generous bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms provide a peaceful retreat for loved ones or guests. The master suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining nursery, offers a haven of comfort and privacy. Each bedroom opens directly onto the pool terrace, inviting you to start your day with a sunrise swim or to unwind under the stars, in the tranquil embrace of the Ionian breeze. The outdoor baths and hammocks are perfect spots to relax, listening to the gentle sounds of nature.

The infinity-edge pool seems to blend seamlessly into the horizon, its curved ledge inviting you to sit and soak in the awe-inspiring sea views—an ever-changing masterpiece of blues and greens. Surrounded by sunbathing beds and shaded corners, it promises countless moments of peace and reflection.

The private gardens, lush with olive trees, fragrant herbs, and vibrant flowers, lead you on a gentle walk through scented pathways—an enchanting journey from your doorstep to the charming Rou village. Stroll past wisteria-covered walkways, a historic stone water well, and beautifully landscaped gardens, arriving at the Rou Spa, Rou Infinity Pool, Gym, and charming village tavern—each destination a testament to the island’s hospitality and natural beauty.

While Plumbago House benefits from the exclusive amenities of the Rou Estate, it stands as a private sanctuary—peaceful, secluded, and awe-inspiring. This exceptional villa embodies the perfect harmony of tradition and luxury, offering an unrivaled lifestyle amidst Corfu’s stunning landscapes, and the tranquil beauty of the Ionian Sea.
