A Murcia Resort Estate with Room to Roam
€950,000 — La Manga Club, Murcia, Spain. Tucked inside the gated La Manga Club resort, this five-bedroom, three-bath house spreads across 500 square meters of living space on a sprawling 2,000-square-meter plot — plenty of room for the pool to be the main event rather than an afterthought.

A Cretan Hillside Villa Built for Entertaining
€900,000 — Vamos, Chania, Crete, Greece. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms fill 256 square meters (2,756 square feet) of this Chania-area villa, set on a 534.9-square-meter plot in the village of Almyrida — the kind of layout that makes a crowded pool party feel effortless.

A Piedmont Wine-Country Retreat with Four Bathrooms to Match Its Five Bedrooms
€1,750,000 — Neive, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy. In the heart of Italy's Barolo and Barbaresco wine country, this 350-square-meter (3,767-square-foot) home gives four bedrooms a full five bathrooms between them — no line forming at the pool deck's only shower here.

An Algarve Pool Home Scaled Just Right
€1,395,000 — Olhão, Algarve, Portugal. At 183 square meters (1,970 square feet), this four-bedroom, three-bath home near Olhão doesn't try to be a palace — it's sized for a family who'd rather spend the budget on the pool deck than on rooms nobody uses.

A Dalmatian Coast Estate with a Pool and Jacuzzi Combo
€2,200,000 — Split, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia. On a 1,200-square-meter plot near Split, this 320-square-meter (3,444-square-foot) home pairs four bedrooms and four bathrooms with an outdoor pool-and-jacuzzi setup that does double duty as both the morning soak and the evening party spot.
