Holiday home with pool
A holiday home with a swimming pool is, for many, the ultimate way to spend a holiday. No need to rush to the beach to claim a spot. No sharing the water with strangers. Just your own space, your own rhythm, and your own pool.
Having a private pool completely changes the atmosphere of your stay. Especially in countries like France and Italy, where the sun shines generously, a private pool truly makes the difference. After a long drive, that very first dive says it all: your body relaxes, the heat of the day slips away from your skin, and you know—the holiday has begun.
At Basic Travel, you’ll find a carefully selected range of holiday homes with swimming pools in the most beautiful regions of Southern Europe. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the lavender fields of Provence. Each house has its own character, but they all share one thing: the luxury of water all to yourself.
Wake up every morning with a view of the water
Imagine waking up, opening the shutters, and seeing the water glistening in the sunlight. No noise, no rush. Just the promise of a day you can shape entirely your own way. A holiday home with a swimming pool offers freedom. You don’t need to go anywhere if you don’t feel like it. You can spend the whole day by the water. Reading books, listening to music, floating, playing. Anything goes. And the beauty is: a pool is for everyone. For children who need to burn off energy. For adults who want to cool off after an afternoon walk. For teenagers relaxing with a drink and their feet in the water. A holiday home with a private pool naturally creates a pleasant rhythm, without the need to plan.

Italy or France: where will you take your next dive?
The choice is vast. In Italy, the charm lies in the peace, the food, the atmosphere. For example, choose a holiday home in Italy with a swimming pool and discover how quickly you’ll unwind there. France offers different strengths: wilder, wider, more varied landscapes. From the Dordogne to the Côte d’Azur, every region provides its own mix of nature, culture, and comfort. A holiday home with a swimming pool in France quickly feels like a second home. Especially if you choose a house that truly suits you: with a view, plenty of privacy, or close to a lively town full of markets and terraces.

Frequently asked questions about holiday homes with swimming pools
Are the pools always private or shared?
At Basic Travel, you’ll find both holiday homes with private pools and houses with shared facilities. Each property description clearly states which applies, so you’ll never be caught off guard.
Are the pools regularly maintained?
Absolutely. Before or during your stay, the pool will be checked to ensure water quality and proper functioning of the system—always reassuring.
Is a pool safe for small children?
Many holiday homes feature a fenced pool or an alarm system. You can check the specifications to see which safety measures are included. Of course, supervision is always important, especially with young children.
Can I swim late at night?
That depends on the house, but with a private pool you generally decide when to take a dip. And let’s be honest: there’s hardly anything better than a night swim under the stars.
A holiday the way it’s meant to be
A holiday home with a swimming pool is more than just a luxury extra. It’s a place where you slow down. Where you step away from the busyness of everyday life. Where you can relax, have fun, and create lasting memories. And the best part? That experience begins the moment you book—when you start searching for the place that matches your rhythm, your preferences, your family or travel companions.
