Sorry no one seems to be giving you the answers you want, finding the needle in the proverbial haystack for you before hotels even set prices for August 2024.
It's early days yet. FWIW, some hotels (including the one I referenced in the OP) already do have August 2024 prices. (Which is how I know it's outside our budget).
If you really think there are only 50 hotels that meet that criteria....hoo boy. There are probably 150 in Greece alone.
I've spent a couple of hours on Booking (which actually has a "Private pool" filter) and Hotels.com last night and have only come up with a handful. Found a couple in Italy, too, but the surrounding areas have been...less than picturesque, shall we say.
You can filter "boutique hotel," "beach access", 4 or 5 star, with a 4.5+ guest average rationg on Google Hotels. I filtered for random dates in June 2024 (since it is too early for August 2024). There are about 700 in your price range. Since many arent bookable yet for summer 2024, have minimum stay requirements, or dont have prices on Google, that number should hit 1000 easy.
But how many of them actually have private in-room (well, in-patio) pools? That there are hundreds of luxury hotels in Europe isn't a mystery, but very few of them have the one amenity we're looking for.
I can honestly do without your snark, as well. I am not expecting others to do my homework for me - I was simply looking for first-hand accounts. If you don't have one, I don't need a lecture in FT etiquette.
