This week: five homes worth a second look across Spain, Italy and Portugal — a Marbella estate with room to spread out, a Mallorcan retreat over Costa de la Calma, a Lake Garda hideaway in Lombardy, and two Cascais escapes on Portugal's coast. Every one of them has a pool with genuine wow factor, and every one closes under €2,000,000.
