With a hotel there's no need to ask for the heating or look after the pool: you just go down for a swim. In Porto-Vecchio, a few hotels and residences heat their pool well beyond the summer. Here are the 3 hotels I've selected in Porto-Vecchio, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Hôtel Le Roi Théodore & Spa, San Giovanni and Le Balamina.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.

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.
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 Le Roi Théodore & Spa (Hotel), with 4.4/5 (1,021 reviews · TripAdvisor (via Promovacances)). Next come San Giovanni (9.6/10) and Le Balamina (9.4/10).
None of the places selected in Porto-Vecchio clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Hôtel Le Roi Théodore & Spa and Le Balamina have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. 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.
Yes: Hôtel Le Roi Théodore & Spa also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
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.
