A villa all to yourself, with its own pool: the dream, as long as the water is heated. Heating is sometimes extra, and I say so on each listing. In Champagne, the indoor pools of Reims hotels and the spas of the Épernay vineyards make up most of the choice. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Champagne: La Maison de Solange.
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. House with a pool and spa; a photo in the listing describes a heated indoor pool.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. This comes from the listing photos: get the host to confirm that the pool is covered and 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. Whirlpool bath and spa area. No pool advertised.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The whirlpool bath is the highlight here: check whether it's private and included in the price.
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 La Maison de Solange (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.93/5 (261 reviews · Airbnb).
None of the places selected in Champagne clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. La Maison de Solange has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Champagne gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: L'Atelier – Gîte & Spa.
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.
