Top Experiences in La Mortella Gardens (Giardini La Mortella)

Let's sail on the way to Ischia. After about a hour and half sailing you will reach the isle: you will be welcomed by the delightful sights of the Aragonese Castle, the symbol of the island and of its past rich in history.
Ischia is larger than Capri, you won’t be able to visit the entire island in just one day, but you can get the occasion for a short tour among some of the six cities. We can suggest to explore the Giardini della Mortella, one of the most important botanical gardens in Italy, thanks to more than 1000 rare exotic plants. From Ischia Porto you can also take the pleasant walk to the Castle, and unveil its breath-taking beauty.

How about a break in a thermal complex? Being the isle of Ischia located on the top of an ancient magmatic chamber, natural hot water springs overflows from the ground. There are some locations, such as Sorgeto Bay, where is possible to experience the warm water mixing with the sea.
Many people come here for therapeutic session every year.

Dominated by Mount Epomeo, Ischia is a beautiful island that neighbours Capri known as the green isle much bigger than Capri. You will see all the highlights as you go on a nice coach tour around the island. Time for lunch before reaching the subtropical La Mortella gardens. The gardens were created by English composer Sir William Walton and his wife who lived here from 1949. They feature more than 300 rare and exotic plants, along with ornate statues and waterfalls. La Mortella is divided into two parts: a lower garden, called The Valley, and an upper garden on The Hill, terraced with retaining walls. The many areas of the garden are linked by a network of walks, paths, ramps and steps that climb the dry walls allowing the visitors to reach the upper hill, where they can enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay of Forio.
