That sounds nice.
Regarding protecting outdoor pot plants over winter...
I have seen folks wrap the pots in various types of insulation, but they often tuck it under the pots as well. To my mind that is a mistake. That would insulate them from the chilling winds and frosts, but it would also insulate them from the vast heat store that is the ground. I suggest insulating the sides but ensuring the pot rests on the ground.
That is all to give the roots a chance. The top growth is another issue.
Some people use horticultural fleece. But I don't think that's very viable in a med. climate. It makes a greater sail area for the winter storms to catch, making damage more likely (and more likely for the pot to get blown over). I would prefer to move the pots to a sheltered position and give no artificial protection to the top growth. I would not be surprised to have some of the twigs die-off over winter, but that does not worry me unduely.
Of course, it all depends on the hardiness of the plant.
