Holiday homes with pool in the Ardennes

Why a holiday home with pool in the Ardennes?

Summers in the Ardennes are more pleasant than people sometimes think. Temperatures between 20 and 28 degrees are normal in July and August, and a private pool in the garden is a real asset then. There is no alternative like the sea in the Ardennes anyway: if you want water, it is the rivers or a private pool. Rivers such as the Lesse and the Ourthe are beautiful but fresh and often have a current. A pool in the garden gives children a safe alternative and leaves the adults the choice.

What to expect?

The pools at these homes are private and reserved for the tenants alone. Most are outdoor pools in the garden or on the terrace, sometimes with a lounging area alongside. Heated pools sometimes cost extra or are only warm in certain periods. Always check when booking whether the pool is operational during your chosen dates.

Tips for your pool stay in the Ardennes

• Bring plenty of sun cream. With a private pool you quickly spend more time in the sun than planned.
• Check the fencing around the pool if you travel with young children. Not every home has a gate or barrier around the basin.
• Combine swimming with a walk or bike ride in the morning. That way you enjoy the best of the Ardennes and the pool.
• Ask the owner about the water temperature and whether the pool is heated. An unheated Ardennes pool can be fresh even in August.
