From a beach-cove villa in Croatia to a heated infinity pool on a Corsican hillside, today’s batch spans five countries and a wide price range — proof that a great pool doesn’t have to come with a single eye-watering price tag. Here’s today’s five.

A Three-Storey Villa Steps From a Croatian Beach Cove
€725,000 — Rogoznica, Šibenik-Knin, Croatia. Fifty meters from a beach in a quiet cove near Marina Frapa sits this three-storey villa, sold fully furnished with five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 225 m² (2,422 sq ft). The private rectangular pool sits right off the lawn, hillside views rising up behind it.

A Corfu Sea-View Villa With Room for Guests
€500,000 — Acharavi, Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. This sea-view villa comes with a private 30 sqm pool on a stone terrace, four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across 158 m² (1,701 sq ft) — plus a separate studio for overflow guests. Almiros beach is a 500-meter walk away.

A Lombardy Hillside Retreat With Its Own Counter-Current Pool
€1,200,000 — Appiano Gentile, Como, Lombardy, Italy. Set on nearly three acres of private woodland, this six-bedroom, three-bathroom chalet-style villa has a 12x6m pool built with night lighting and a counter-current swim system — part gym, part backyard. The wood-clad facade and multicolored window shutters are as distinctive as the setting.

A Lanzarote Villa With Two Guest Apartments and Lava-Rock Views
€1,200,000 — Tías, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 520 m² (5,597 sq ft) of living space, all with no immediate neighbors in sight — and two self-contained guest apartments besides. The heated pool and sun terrace look out over Lanzarote’s volcanic lava-rock landscape near Puerto del Carmen.

A Corsican Hillside Home With a Heated Infinity Pool
€2,100,000 — Corbara, Haute-Corse, Corsica, France. A heated infinity pool runs along the edge of this single-storey villa’s own terrace, framing a sweeping Mediterranean view. Inside, four bedrooms (a master suite plus three more) and 162 m² of living space open onto that same view through sliding glass walls — 25 minutes from Calvi airport, between the sea and the maquis shrubland near L’Île-Rousse.
Five pools, five countries, one very good reason to start scrolling listings instead of doomscrolling the news. Which one’s calling your name?
