Gîtes in France with Pools

Two peaceful, stylish getaways for two within the charming owners' home with shared pool, fabulous views - and all of Provence to (re)visit

A pretty cottage in the grounds of an 18th-century house in the heart of southern Burgundy, with stunning gardens and a shared pool

A sensitively-restored three storey house set high in the hills overlooking Mt Ventoux and the Vaucluse plateau and in a dark sky area

A 17th-century former dovecote standing in gardens and 100 hectares of vineyards, sheltered behind majestic pine, cypress and plane trees

An immaculately restored cottage with a blissful sun room, private terrace, gardens, pool and orchard for a warm and peaceful hideaway

An 18th-century limestone barn, now a quiet hideaway for a group of friends or family in a very rural spot surrounded by fields and woods

Gaze over to glorious Curemonte from the pretty cottage, loll by the pool, play games in the barn. Bring friends and book the main house too

A traditional Périgourdine cottage and a beautiful barn in bird-filled countryside near Trémolat, the Pécharmant vineyards and châteaux

Swings, a terrace and pool in 2 acres ringed by fields and tranquility, and lakes and vineyards beyond. Family bliss in Quercy

Elegant, charming self-catering in the domaine's former laundry cum bakery. Visit stylish Biarritz, return to lovely gardens and pool

Three airy gîtes set in 300 acres of vineyard and gardens. A welcoming base for exploring the marvellous Minervois – 15km from Carcassonne

Two gîtes, part of an old stone farmhouse hidden away down a lane and surrounded by beautifully kept lawns, paddocks and a pool with views

Feel French in this very beautiful 300-year-old house with a large garden and pool in a hilltop medieval village of winding, cobbled streets

Provençale-meets-English country house to great effect – cycle Mont Ventoux, walk to the monastery, visit Roman towns and vineyards

Pomegranates, persimmon and figs, the waft of rosemary on the air... we love this old 'mas' 25km from Gordes, in sweet sunny Provence

Enjoy so much space in this 18th-century paper mill with uncluttered interiors and surrounded by forests, rivers and lush countryside - yet only a stone's throw away from the local bastide towns

Provençal charm floats through the ground floor of this 18th-century home in a vineyard near Lorgues. Walk, cycle, swim in the pool, enjoy the peace

Great for gatherings of family and friends: fine views, a good big kitchen, games room and pool; nearby caves and castles to explore
