There's always something particularly magical about arriving at your villa via a suitably Tuscan cypress-lined driveway that crosses rolling farmland with olive groves and vineyards. The gardens, terraces and pool area at La Bienta are all set up perfectly for outdoor summer living, with shady nooks for reading, outdoor dining areas for those balmy evenings under the stars and a wonderful heated 12 x 6m pool with its own sun terrace and pergola area for shade.
