The Love Island final takes place this Monday but whether you have been watching the Virgin Media/ITV show or not, it’s fair to say we could all do with a bit of a villa lifestyle right now after the incessant rainfall we’ve had since the turn of the year.
While for most of us firepits and swimming pools remain aspirational, particularly during February, there are a number of houses in Ireland that wouldn’t look out of place in hosting an Irish version of the South African-based show.
Here’s our pick of some of the best of them…
Emsworth, Malahide Road, Kinsealy, Co Dublin
- Type: 4 bed country house with 2 bed guest house
- Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes / Savills Country Homes
- Asking price: €9,250,000
With several firepits, including one poolside, the ultra-exclusive Emsworth in Kinsealy, Co Dublin, would be an ideal setting for an Irish Love Island, giving those present an ideal chance to gather around and gossip about the day’s events.
Cangort House, Shinrone, Birr, Co Offaly
- Type: 8 bed Jacobean-style house
- Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Fogarty
- Asking price: €1,650,000
With its own outdoor natural swimming pool, surrounded by deck chairs, coupled with a covered patio area with wood burning stove, Cangort House in Co Offaly has very much got Love Island vibes to it.
Rose Cottage, Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow
- Type: 5 bed detached house
- Agent: George & Maguire Properties
- Asking price: €1,695,000
The gardens of Rose Cottage certainly wouldn’t look amiss on Love Island with its wide range of lounge areas and fire pit. There’s even an outdoor hot tub right beside an area where the group can dine together.
Baltrasna House, Ardee, Co Louth
- Type: 6 bed detached house
- Agent: Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Country Homes
- Asking price: €1,800,000
The stunning Baltrasna House in Ardee, Co Louth, might be far away from the sunnier climate of the southern hemisphere but with its outdoor fireplace, seating area and spectacular pool, it certainly fits most of the criteria for a Love Island setting.
18 Grove Lawn, Malahide, Co Dublin
- Type: 5 bed detached house
- Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Malahide
- Asking price: €2,100,000
With its own sunken seating area surrounded by a firepit – perfect for re-coupling – 18 Grove Lawn in Malahide not only offers the perfect outdoor area for a Love Island type show but it also boasts views for miles around.
