This week's lineup runs from an €800,000 golf-resort retreat in Sardinia to a €2.69 million architectural statement on Portugal's coast — five European homes, three countries, and one thing in common: a pool worth building a life around.

A Sardinian Golf Village Retreat Under €800,000

€800,000 — Stintino, Sardinia, Italy. The cheapest of this week's five sits inside a golf resort village 450 meters from Sardinia's northwest coast, where a semi-detached three-level villa opens onto a pool with a sea view most owners spend triple the price to get. Four bedrooms, three baths, and 147 square meters of living space, all wrapped in a resort with its own golf course out the back door.

A Hilltop Pool Villa Above Calafell's Costa Dorada

€980,000 — Calafell, Costa Dorada, Catalonia, Spain. Elevated above the town with a long rectangular pool backed by a tall hedge for privacy, this four-bedroom villa spans 386 square meters and opens into a bright, double-height living room that spills straight onto the garden.

A Six-Bedroom Estate in One of Cambrils' Best Addresses

€1,595,000 — Cambrils, Costa Dorada, Catalonia, Spain. Set in one of Cambrils' most sought-after neighborhoods, this six-bedroom, 849-square-meter estate pairs a long pool with steps and a sun deck against the terracotta-roofed house, with a covered terrace that catches the view from every angle.

A Renovated Villa With Mountain Views on the Costa Smeralda

€1,600,000 — Palau, Costa Smeralda, Sardinia, Italy. Meticulously renovated and set near Palau's beaches with views toward the Gallura hills, this single-story villa's kidney-shaped pool and lawn make the most of eight rooms — four bedrooms and three baths — across 215 square meters, plus a garage.

A Sustainable Showpiece in Cascais's Bloom Marinha

€2,690,000 — Cascais, Lisbon coast, Portugal. The priciest home on this week's list is also the newest in spirit: a sleek, single-story contemporary build in the exclusive Bloom Marinha development at Quinta da Marinha, designed with sustainability in mind and wrapped around a wood-deck lap pool that runs the length of the house. Three bedrooms across 345 square meters.
