Hotels often have the biggest pools, and sometimes an indoor pool in the spa as well. In the Drôme Provençale, heated water is mostly found in houses to rent around Nyons and Grignan. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in the Drôme Provençale: Hôtel La Cachette.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.

The pool. Staycation describes an indoor pool, with a sauna, hammam and jacuzzi. Heating isn't specified.
The hot tub. Jacuzzi in the wellness area.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask whether the wellness area is open access or by reservation.
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 jacuzzi in the summer season, hammam and sauna, according to Staycation. No heated pool is mentioned.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The outdoor jacuzzi is only open in summer: check your dates.
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 only place selected is Hôtel La Cachette (Hotel), with 9.8/10 (123 reviews · Staycation).
None of the places selected in the Drôme Provençale clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Hôtel La Cachette has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in the Drôme Provençale gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Hôtel La Cachette also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Château les Oliviers de Salettes.
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.
