Five more pools worth a long look today, from a sun-washed Algarve quinta to a cliffside infinity pool overlooking a bay in Crete. Here's where the water looks best this morning.

A Farmhouse Lap Pool in the Algarve
€950,000 — Tunes, Algarve, Portugal. A single-storey quinta trades solar panels and countryside quiet for a lap pool the whole property seems to orbit around. Inside, a vaulted farmhouse kitchen keeps the same unhurried pace — four bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across 120 square meters (1,292 square feet).

Villa Valery's Pool Among the Apulian Olive Groves
€950,000 — Carovigno, Brindisi, Apulia, Italy. Villa Valery's trullo-style stonework and vaulted living room open straight onto a rectangular pool with a glimpse of the Adriatic beyond. Olive groves ring the whole three-bedroom, four-bathroom property, newly and fully renovated despite its listing tag.

An Infinity Pool Merging Into Souda Bay
€1,900,000 — Almyrida, Chania, Crete, Greece. Villa Lumen's 75-square-meter heated infinity pool blurs into Souda Bay itself, and floor-to-ceiling glazing inside carries that same sea view through the whole open-plan living room. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, 239 square meters (2,577 square feet).

A Provençal Pool Villa Near the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
€1,900,000 — Sainte-Maxime, Var, Provence, France. A beamed-ceiling living room folds open onto a 13x6-meter pool and stone terrace, with the Gulf of Saint-Tropez visible from the grounds above. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, 196 square meters (2,110 square feet) of Provençal stonework.

A Costa del Sol Retreat With a Kidney-Shaped Plunge Pool
€2,100,000 — La Cala de Mijas, Málaga, Costa del Sol, Spain. The priciest listing of the five keeps things understated: a kidney-shaped heated saltwater plunge pool, blue beanbags poolside, and a Scandinavian-style dining room with glass doors thrown open to the terrace. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 280 square meters (3,014 square feet).
Each of these is still live on the market as of this morning — if one of these views has your attention, don't sit on it too long.
