Because in the gardens, terraces and patios of few square meters there is also room for small design pools, with style and the most appetizing. Some of them can be called with other terms such as pool, jacuzzi or evendue to their small size, but they are still a space dedicated to delight in the summer months. The ones we show you here will convince you by their formats, coatings and curbs. A source of inspiration if you are looking for a way to include a pool outside your home.
