Renting an apartment means living at your own pace. When the building has a heated pool, swimming joins the programme, whatever the season. In Alsace, heated pools are concentrated in the spa hotels of the vineyards and in gîtes with an indoor pool. Here are the 5 apartments I've selected in Alsace, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Le 128, Studio avec piscine chauffée près de Colmar and Alsace · piscine privée chauffée à 30 °C · 8 personnes.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
