Park:
Linera is located in an enchanting Mediterranean fenced-in oasis of 9,000 sq m (the gardens is enclosed by two-meter-high dry stone walls and an entrance gate with wide mesh). The property is characterised by large terracotta terraces, surrounded by flowering plants, cacti and typical Mediterranean trees, which extend between the two sections of the estate, creating different relaxation areas. A charming outdoor dining area, shaded by scented creepers, is accessible from both the kitchen and the adjacent dining room. Manicured paths wind around the property, connecting the main house to the gardens, also accessible from the ground floor bedrooms, the second master bedroom and the living area. In this part of the garden is the swimming pool and a terraced area with two pergolas: one set up for relaxation, the other for outdoor dining. This area is served by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, with refrigerator, induction hob, sink, dishwasher and a convenient changing room with bathroom and shower. At the entrance to the property, past the automatic gate, is a driveway of about 100 metres that leads to a covered parking area with space for three cars.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool is located on a slightly sloping level of the garden, about 50 m from the back of the villa, easily reached in a few steps from the French windows on the ground floor. Surrounded by greenery, the irregularly-shaped pool, lined in tiles, measures 12 x 7 m with the depth ranging from 1.20 to 2.50 m and has a lateral ladder and Roman steps for access to the water. Surrounding the pool is the solarium area of about 60 sq m, equipped with 10 sunbeds for relaxation. Nearby are two pergolas: one furnished with comfortable sofas for relaxing and the other used as a dining area. A few steps away, serving the pool area, is an outdoor kitchen, complete with refrigerator, sink, dishes and dishwasher. There is also a changing room with bathroom and shower, while outside there is a mobile barbecue. The pool, purified with chlorine, can also be used at night thanks to internal and external lighting, and is open all year round. During the summer the pool can be heated by solar panels.
