The key to the ultimate summer pool party is, of course, the pool or as we like to call it: “the liquid dining table” where gatherings are centered during the summer months. A pool is a hub of activity all summer long, and below are a selection of our favourite pools found at villas within the Red Savannah portfolio, all ideal for hosting your cinema-worthy summertime bash.
TRAMONTI
Boasting two swimming pools with exceptional views of the Chianti region, Tramonti is an ideal choice for your pool party villa. The larger, heated pool is conveniently equipped with a changing room and outdoor shower, as well as an enticing area to relax with plush sunbeds and parasols. Meanwhile, the smaller pool’s shallower depth is excellent for ensuring even the younger guests can get in on the party action. Additionally, Tramonti is home to an excellent chef, and the kitchen is perfectly laid out for cooking and preparing everything one might need for a memorable party.
VILLA LA CHECCA
Villa La Checca’s sizeable pool is located on a level below the villa with heavenly, pastoral views of Chianti’s rolling countryside. A shaded area with sunbeds and a shower provides some welcome respite from the Tuscan sunshine, while the villa owner’s exceptional culinary skills are certain to tempt guests following a day’s swimming.
VILLA VORNO
Known for its stunning and beautifully maintained gardens, Villa Vorno offers one of the most elegant and stylish locations to host your pool party. Between dips in the water, retire to the shade of the bay trees where alluring daybeds await, or stroll around the gardens and take in the views of the undulating Tuscan hills. Afterwards, cool off with a final dip in the water before your well-deserved evening meal.
TRULLI BIANCA
Trulli Bianca’s beautifully whitewashed walls, cone-shaped roofs and sun-drenched garden create a striking backdrop to your pool party. Combined with the tranquil, Mediterranean scenery of Puglia, you can throw a party that is both modern and refined, while never losing touch of what makes the region so desirable. The villa’s sky-blue pool is certain to tempt you, though a chic outdoor living area offers the perfect place to dry off afterwards.
VILLA XI, IBIZA
As well as having a gorgeous pool surrounded by comfortable day beds and parasols, Villa Xi is just a short woodland walk to one of Ibiza's beautiful white sand beaches. The villa itself brings the Ibiza beach vibe within its boundary with its own chill-out bar area and comfortable shaded lounge area. The 25-metre pool provides the perfect setting for a world-class pool party, you just have to decide who's on this elite guest list!
CASA BENEDICTA, MENORCA
For a relaxed pool party with an enviable view, Casa Benedicta tops our wish list. Located on top of a hill and surrounded by trees, guests will feel a world away from the buzz of Menorca's capital Mahon, yet it's only a 30 minute drive. Interiors are stylish and luxurious and, with 12 bedrooms, it's big enough to cater for a sizeable party. When not enjoying the private pool, the beach at Son Bou is just 10 minutes away. As the sun goes down head up to the villa's bar area (on the first floor) for a sundowner with a sublime view.
