ROUND-UPS
Beach or pool? Villas with summer availability
Published 1st June 2026
Summer's calling - and these villas are still up for grabs.
Mornings in the pool, afternoons on the beach and evenings consuming rather too much local food and wine beneath a vine-covered terrace. Sounds like summer done right.
To help make it happen, we've rounded up some of our favourite villas across Europe, close to sandy beaches, blessed with private pools, or lucky enough to have both.
They still have some free space in July and August, but things are booking up quick.
See our full collection of villas.
