An apartment with a heated pool gives you the freedom of a rental with the pleasure of a comfortable swim. In Porto-Vecchio, a few hotels and residences heat their pool well beyond the summer. Here are the 2 apartments I've selected in Porto-Vecchio, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Maranatha Résidence and Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Terrasses d'Arsella.
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 Maranatha Résidence (Holiday residence), with 4.5/5 (115 reviews · TripAdvisor (via France Hotel Guide)). Next come Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Terrasses d'Arsella (8.8/10).
None of the places selected in Porto-Vecchio clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Terrasses d'Arsella, heating is seasonal (april to november). Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Porto-Vecchio gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: U Pirellu Résidence.
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.
