Renting a whole villa or house means having the heated pool to yourself, with family or friends. In Oia, cave hotels are stacked up the cliff, facing the sunset. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Oia: Superior Villa With Outdoor Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.

Guide's tip. The listing gives neither a heating period nor a price: get them confirmed before you book.
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 only place selected is Superior Villa With Outdoor Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.91/5 (11 reviews · Airbnb).
None of the places selected in Oia clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Oia gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Superior Villa With Outdoor Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub 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.
