Villas in France with a Private Pool

Why Choose a Villa with a Private Pool?

A private pool means total flexibility. Swim at midnight, skip the sunbed race and let the children splash without a second thought. When you book a villa with a private pool the water belongs to your group alone, from arrival to departure, with no rotas and no strangers sharing the terrace. For families it is the safest and most relaxed option. For couples it is pure indulgence. For larger groups the pool becomes the natural heart of every evening. Almost every property in this collection also comes with a shaded terrace, sun loungers and an alfresco dining area, so the pool is the centre of daily life rather than an afterthought. If you are weighing a private pool against a shared one, our comparison guide sets out the real differences in cost, privacy and convenience.

Private Pool Villas Across the South of France

Our villa holidays with private pools span three distinct regions, each with its own character. On the Côte d'Azur, properties pair private pools with the glamour of Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Nice, many with sea views and infinity edges. In Provence, expect lavender-scented grounds, hilltop villages and stone villas with pools framed by cypress and olive trees. In Languedoc you will find the best value in the South of France: spacious villas in France with private pools and large gardens, at prices well below the Riviera, within easy reach of sandy Mediterranean beaches, vineyards, and Cathar country. Wherever you choose, every villa in France with a swimming pool has been inspected for the quality of the pool itself, not just the house.

Villas with Private Pools Near the Beach

A private pool and the sea within reach is the combination most of our guests ask for. A good number of our villas in France with a private pool near a beach sit within a short drive, or even walking distance, of the Mediterranean, so you can swim at home in the morning and be on the sand by lunch. These coastal properties are especially popular in Languedoc and on the Côte d'Azur, and they book up first for July and August.

Many of our private pool villas also belong to our family-friendly collection, think cots, high chairs, stair gates and games rooms. Every private pool in France must meet national safety law, and we go further by flagging villas with fenced or gated pools, shallow ends and gentle steps, so parents of young children can relax while the little ones play.
