Accommodation
Villas with pools
Self-catering with a pool, for families, friends, and longer, quieter stays.
A villa with a pool is how many people do Tuscany, and it can be a very good way to stay, especially in summer, when a hill-town hotel room feels tight by late afternoon.
I would think about the drive. The loveliest houses sit up a track of white dust, which is fine until you want to go out for dinner every night. If you do not want to drive after dark, stay closer to a town such as Lucca, Pescia or a Chianti village with a few restaurants you can reach easily.
- Ask whether the pool is private or shared, and when it is usually filled for the season. Many country pools open late in spring and close in early autumn.
- Check winter and shoulder-season listings carefully. A pool in the photographs may not be running in November.
- If you have small children, ask about fencing and the depth.
The button opens a Tuscany search for villas that also list a swimming pool.
You can also browse the towns in my accommodation directory, already filtered to villas with pools, and open Booking.com from a town that looks right.
Ad: Booking.com affiliate link. The search opens Booking.com in a new tab, with the filter already set. If you book through it, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep this site going.
