Bonifacio is perched on limestone cliffs at the southern tip of Corsica, facing Sardinia, with its port at the end of a narrow inlet. The site is often windy. The selection is short: suites with a heated private pool, an indoor pool in the upper town and a hot tub. I've selected 2 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Hôtel & Spa Genovese (8.7/10).
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.

The pool. Indoor pool and outdoor pool, with spa and sauna, according to Kayak. Heating isn't specified.

Guide's tip. The spa's covered pool is the hotel's trump card when the wind blows over the cliffs.
The pool. Each suite has its own heated private pool, according to Hotels.com; a hot tub is listed too.
The hot tub. Hot tub listed by Hotels.com.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature. The rating is based on only a few reviews.
Guide's tip. A private pool all to yourselves: ask until what date it's heated.
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. Seasonal outdoor pool (heating not specified) and hot tub, according to Hotels.com.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The pool isn't advertised as heated: ask whether the hot tub is.
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 Hôtel & Spa Genovese (Hotel), with 8.7/10 (750 reviews · Kayak). Next come A Speranza Suites avec piscine privative chauffée (9.6/10).
None of the places selected in Bonifacio clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Hôtel & Spa Genovese has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Bonifacio gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: A Speranza Suites avec piscine privative chauffée also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Lodge de Charme A Cheda.
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.
