The classic question: do you prefer the sea or mountains? But what if you can have both or at least a little of each, so you can enjoy a great vacation, a getaway that involves fresh air and fabulous mountain views, but also water to swim as much as you want?
Fortunately, there are quite a few guesthouses and chalets with outdoor pools at the mountain in Romania, superb places that meet the requirements mentioned above. We certainly have an incredible mountainous landscape in Romania, so finding accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool is all we need to do.
I found 12 chalets with an outdoor pool, and most of them are accommodations that also have playgrounds for children. So, the holiday with the family is going to be successful. The order in which I will present them is entirely random; they are not arranged according to personal preferences or other criteria.
I also made a small map in which I would assign a number to each of these accommodations with an outdoor pool to make it easier for you to find them depending on the desired location.
12 accommodation units with outdoor pool
at the mountain in Romania
1. Casuta de sub deal – Magura, Buzau county

The so-called house is a villa with three rooms, two bathrooms, and a relatively large living room. The rooms are spacious and have beautiful views of the forest behind the mansion. There is also a fireplace in the living room that you can definitely enjoy in the cold season.
You can do some activities here like hiking in the woods, on foot or by ATV, and cycling (the villa provides bicycles). You can especially enjoy the fact that it is an accommodation with an outdoor pool.
