With a whole-property rental the pool is private: you swim whenever you like. Just check that heating is included, or request it when you book. In Brittany, warm water is mostly found in thalasso centres and gîtes with indoor pools. Here are the 45 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Brittany, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend La Douce Escapade, La Perrosienne and Villa d'architecte avec piscine intérieure.
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 La Douce Escapade (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.99/5 (148 reviews · Airbnb). Next come La Perrosienne (4.99/5) and Villa d'architecte avec piscine intérieure (4.97/5).
None of the places selected in Brittany clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Villa avec piscine, spa et hammam, Pause à l'Escale (avec sauna) and Villa Alba, heating is seasonal (1 march to 11 november). La Perrosienne, Villa d'architecte avec piscine intérieure and Villa vue mer avec piscine intérieure have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
Advertised temperatures: 28 °C at Belle villa avec piscine intérieure, 29 °C at Maison 5* près du port et de la plage, piscine chauffée and 29 °C at Maison à 300 m de la plage, piscine à 29°. For the other places the temperature isn't published: ask the property.
Yes: Maison Ker Galinette and Villa de luxe avec piscine intérieure, jacuzzi et sauna also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Cabane sur l'eau avec jacuzzi, La Castoulette and Maison zen avec jacuzzi.
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.
