Gite in South West France With Private Heated Pool
This is not a shared pool – it is all yours, set in a large private garden, near the picturesque village of Jumilhac Le Grand. You probably dont want to be sharing your private pool with people you dont know!
The pool is heated with a heat-exchange pump, which can get the water temperature to a very comfortable, warm 30 degree C.
The 4-metre wide Roman End steps allow you to gracefully enter and exit, and with the broad ‘Social Step’ at the top, you and your friends and family can sit on the top step together, enjoying the sun and relaxing.
We have 10 quality sun loungers plus hammocks for you all to relax and enjoy the sun and settings.

Swimming Pools in France
South west France gets warm! Holiday goers are increasingly looking for French villas with pools in the south of France.
Not just for tourists looking for Dordogne villas with heated pools, local residents having a swimming pool in France is very popular for residents, and also for property owners who rent out their house a gite or rental villa property for holidays, whether for families or groups.
Summers in France can reach the late 30’s and even 40 degrees in heat, so plunging into the water to cool off is delightful.
If you fly into your destination, look out of the plane window, and tell your mind to look for blue rectangles; you will suddenly be seeing many, many swimming pools from above. And the more you travel south into France, the more you will see French villas with pools, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, the further south you go in France, for your French gite with pool.

The Laws for French Pools
We discovered as we moved forward with designing our own luxury swimming pool originally for ourselves, that to rent out a property with a private pool, to be one of the french gites with pools, there is a legal requirement that it has 1 of 4 security mechanisms in place to avoid drowning dangers. It must either have;
- A drowning alarm. This is a device that sits at the side of the pool that detects water-level change
- A walk-on-able cover. This means a normal thermal pool cover with metal bars side-to-side
- A shelter. Think of a movable greenhouse over a pool
- A border enclosure. A fence, secure to a certain standard.
Our Heated Swimming Pool in South France
We did a survey of our friends and family and other people looking for villas for large groups, talking through the requirements and options and asked “which would you be most relaxed for your holidays?”
The only answer that people looking for French villas with pools in south west France felt they would relax properly and for parents to have a nice relaxing holiday outside of the pool area, was a border enclosure.
So toddlers physically could not get to the pool, so mum and dad could relax on the terrace outside of the private pool area, and not worry about little ones falling in the pool.
So we opted for a border enclosure. After considering a white picket fence option, we looked at a beautiful option – a secure glass enclosure.
Held up off the ground with stainless steel strong brackets called spigots, there are 86 glass panels around this stunning swimming pool, keeping your children safely away from the pool if you want, or you can watch the pool antics, which you relax outside the pool area.
Private Pool Structure
The results of our small family survey was almost unanimous; everyone wanted a diving option to splash into the pool!
So we needed a diving board, and a pool that is 2.5 metres deep. To help you visualise 2.5 metres in height, that is about the height of an upstairs window, from the ground outside. So there is a lot of water to dive into without the risk of hitting your head on the bottom of the swimming pool.
The end result is a very large luxury heated private swimming in the south of France for you and your family and friends to love and enjoy for your holidays.
