Villa with a heated pool in Barcelona

A villa all to yourself, with its own pool: the dream, as long as the water is heated. Heating is sometimes extra, and I say so on each listing. In Barcelona, most of the places selected are in the Eixample, near Passeig de Gràcia, or facing the sea in Barceloneta. Here are the 2 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Barcelona, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Lux Spa Barcelona and Maison avec piscine chauffée et jacuzzi à 15 min de Barcelone.

The pool. Heated outdoor pool, advertised as usable year-round, even in autumn and winter. The villa also has two bathrooms with whirlpool baths and an open-air tub.

The hot tub. Whirlpool baths in two of the bathrooms.

I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.

Guide's tip. The villa is outside town, so you'll need a car. Get the pool temperature confirmed before a winter stay.

The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.

Confirmed by guests

Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.

Confirmed by a reviewer

A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.

Advertised only

The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.

Indoor pool

Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
