A handful of rooms, a personal welcome and a heated pool: that's the promise of a good guesthouse. In Bordeaux, warm pools are hidden in the spas of central hotels and in the châteaux of the vineyards. I haven't yet found a guesthouse in Bordeaux and its vineyards with a confirmed heated pool and a rating of at least 8/10.
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.
I haven't yet found any in Bordeaux and its vineyards with a confirmed heated pool and a rating of at least 8/10. Meanwhile, here are the other places with a heated pool. You'll also find 1 place with a hot tub further down.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
The hot tub. Outdoor pool in season (heating not specified) and jacuzzi with free access.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask whether the jacuzzi is available all year and kept heated at all times.
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.
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.
