So, what made us visit the beautiful Island of Paxos, Greece?In July 2017 we got married, went to a small independent Travel Agent who managed to book us the honeymoon of a lifetime! The first time we experienced Paxos, resulted in falling in love with everything it represents…… peace, serenity and making you want to go back for more.After a lot of thinking and deciding, we looked into coming back to the Island with the sole purpose of making a dream come true! We researched the real estate options and booked a week to explore land, properties and projects. The aim was to get to see as much as possible in in a short space of time.We had contacted different Real Estate agents and consultants….. but one stood out from the rest! We both feel Roula Rouva and her team held our hands all the way, they don’t worry about the silly questions you don’t want to ask and always have time to help with the Greek way of doing things. We didn’t know what it would be like to buy in Paxos, but have had a huge amount of support and expertise all the way. Roula Rouva Estates has the right approach to prospective buyers….. no pressure, honesty and the aim to help you understand the daunting villa/ property hunting process.Our Villa Petaloúda (butterfly) represents so much for both of us and we are more than happy to recommend Roula Rouva Real Estate and her team to anyone wanting to take the first steps in making a change, in their life. A special thank you to Ioanna Aroni….. we won’t forget the bumpy car rides around the island to see all the properties…. navigating up the narrow roads/tracks and continuously smiling at the boundless enthusiasm she always has…. her endless genuine kindness, professionalism and determination to make sure you feel ok, she’s made a huge difference to our journey, to be homeowners on Paxos.Pick up the phone or go online…… you won’t be disappointed!

We would like to thank Roula and her associate Barbara for the excellent work they have done to help us to purchase our property in Corfu.Roula was most helpful in securing a solicitor to act for us and to introduce us to him. She then found a reputable builder to carry out the restoration to our property. She kept us aware of progress by sending photos of the property.We would recommend Roula and Barbara to anyone who was contemplating buying a property in Corfu.Sincerely,Marie & Terry Leyland

We are very happy and privileged to give a recommendation for Roula, as follows:"Roula Rouva is much more than just an agent to us, since our first meeting we have found her professional yet friendly attitude an invaluable bonus, we could not ask for more. Her after sales service and advice is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. We especially appreciated her time in advising us on where to buy furniture and white goods for our house. We take pleasure in thoroughly recommending Roula Rouva".

Dear, Roula & JeanWe would like to show our appreciation, for your help in our search to find our long term rental home, here in Corfu.Jean Bell speedily assisted us in our choice of home and area, she has a wealth of knowledge and gave us so many extra tips and advice where would be without her, also the after sales my wife and I received is second to none.We are very lucky to have found Roula's office in Agios Georgios.Sincerely, Tony & Chris Cosgrove

Our experience of buying a house in Corfu through Roula Rouva has been incredible.Roula is extremely professional, has high standards and at the same time is very friendly. No problem has been too difficult for her to solve. Queries were promptly addressed and she kept us up to date with developments, as our house was built, by sending emails and photographs.Once we arrived in Corfu to furnish the property we benefited from Roula’s intimate knowledge of the island and its retailers. She helped us shop and also dealt with the local utility companies, which would have been very difficult for us, as we don’t speak Greek.We call Roula “Mrs Fix-It” because that is exactly what she does.

We met Ms Rouva for the first time by chance in August 2009 on a hot, lazy afternoon strolling up the path from the beautiful Agios Georgios beach. Roula kindly welcomed us into her office with delicious frappe and quickly familiarized herself with our requirements. We were excited by her promising range of interesting properties that we had not previously discovered via internet searches. We were delighted that the property we wanted to purchase was on Roula's books. Roula is the most charming and likable of characters with a fantastic sense of humour and also a comfortingly natural, confident and professional approach. Roula held our hand through the whole unfamiliar buying process and succeeded in comforting our MANY worries and fears! (We had only known the island for a few days and had not fully realized the innocence and honesty of the Corfiots!!) The lawyer that completed our contract whom Roula advised to us, was extremely thorough and precise and equally trustworthy. Katerina paid much attention to detail regarding every aspect of the contract, to make it perfect. We could not believe how attentive Roula was even after the purchase. She helped us with everything from sorting out the utility transfers to help with shopping, to simply ringing us to make sure we were ok! We both feel completely privileged and lucky to have met Roula and her family. Besides her expertise she has been an extremely good friend to us and we hope we may enjoy her brilliant company for many years to come. We would like also to mention how beautiful Roula's Eco-house's are. Roula is a designer of impeccable taste and awareness. She uses the highest quality materials throughout all of her Pixida constructions and the result is most incredible. She is clearly very talented in this field. We hope that we are able to buy property with R.R again. We wish her the greatest success in life and we hope that many more people get the opportunity of meeting and doing business with this fabulous lady.Best Regards

Dear JeanFirst of all, I would like to thank you and your colleague Andy for the very well prepared and nicely done trip to see the houses. From all meetings the one with you has been the most professional, your colleague Andy is extremely well informed and presents the houses and their surrounding in a way that one feels homely. I would have liked very much to take a house from him and you.I was so impressed by your performance that I have already recommended your address to the real estate department of our newspaper, when I am writing my column on Corfu during this year I would like at some point to mention you, too.

Jean and RoullaJust a quick note to let you know we have at last found a home.Its in AgiaDeka, closer to town and close to a school for the boys. They have already enrolled and started school yesterday.We are very happy with the way things have turned out.However, I want to take the opportunity to thank you so much for your assistance in our early days on the island.It made a great impression on us - although we ended up moving to the centre, the help you gave us so graciously actually did help us to discover what we really wanted.We hope you are in turn rewarded in other ways! You deserve it.Wish you all the best for your business etcMaybe well bump into you again - its after all a small island!--Regards,

Dear Roula and AndyTrevor and I are back on ‘mud island’, and our time of house-hunting on Corfu is a precious memory of another time and place, bathed in warm sunshine and warm people.We would like to thank you most sincerely for the time you both spent with us, not only because of all the lovely properties you showed us, but also for your warmth and hospitality and openness to helping us in any and all ways, in our quest to make a new life on your wonderful island.  The sheer amount of time you gave to us was humbling, and we did not take one second of it for granted.  Thank you so very much!

Dear Roula and JeanThank you for everything !It was an unforgatablehollyday for us. I hope everithing was ok when we left the villa, and the keys.  We arrived home succesfully, it was so hard, like the way to corfu. The hungarianserbian border is allways so horrible. But we got a lot of beautifull memories.P.s.: Our team will recommend everyone to go on holiday to your town. And also upload experiences to facebook and share with you and your next clients!!Best wishes!!

Last year, having decided to buy a property in Corfu, I was lucky enough to find one which was being offered by RoulaRouva Estate Agents. I was deeply impressed by the trouble and care they took throughout the process - not only in buying the house but in the support they offered thereafter. Nothing was too much trouble. I was guided by Andy Marshall who has vast local knowledge and helped and advised and acted as my agent and interpreter at every step of the way. He was enormously kind and helpful and I am most grateful to him, to Roula Rouva and to the entire company
