An apartment with a heated pool gives you the freedom of a rental with the pleasure of a comfortable swim. In Burgundy and the Jura, warm water ranges from hotel spas in Dijon to chalets in the Haut-Jura with indoor pools. Here are the 5 apartments I've selected in Burgundy and the Jura, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Appartement skis aux pieds 54 m², Bali Suite by Travel Suites and Appartement familial près des pistes.
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.

These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Appartement skis aux pieds 54 m² (Apartment · Airbnb), with 4.96/5 (69 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Bali Suite by Travel Suites (4.92/5) and Appartement familial près des pistes (4.87/5).
None of the places selected in Burgundy and the Jura clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Appartement en résidence, piscine intérieure, heating is seasonal (closed january to march). Bali Suite by Travel Suites and Appartement en résidence, piscine intérieure have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Burgundy and the Jura gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Bali Suite by Travel Suites also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Aqua House – spa privé, jacuzzi et hammam and Appartement cosy avec jacuzzi, terrasse et jardin.
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.
