Villa with a heated pool in Lagos

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 Lagos, a lively old town opens onto the sculpted cliffs of Ponta da Piedade. Here are the 5 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Lagos, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Families Paradise! Golf, Pool, Beach, Countryside, Beheizbarer Pool, geräumige Lage, Privatsphäre, Komfort and Spacious villa with sea view and heated pool - Luz.

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.

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
