4. Swimming

If you enjoy keeping fit whilst on holiday and you prefer to base yourself around the pool whilst away, then match yourself with a villa that has a rather impressive one. Mas des Belles Fleurs has an outstanding pool where guests can enjoy swimming many lengths and maybe not beat an Olympic PB, but their own personal one.
