Apartment with a heated pool in the Azores

Renting an apartment means living at your own pace. When the building has a heated pool, swimming joins the programme, whatever the season. In the Azores, the warmth sometimes comes from the ground: some pools are filled with natural thermal water. I haven't yet found an apartment in the Azores with a confirmed heated pool and a rating of at least 8/10.

How I check

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.

Confirmed by guests

Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.

Confirmed by a reviewer

A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.

Advertised only

The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.

Indoor pool

Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
