Ischia's splendid botanical garden, famous for its exotic plants, panoramic terraces, and musical, Mediterranean atmosphere.
The La Mortella Gardens are one of the most important private botanical gardens in Italy, located on the island of Ischia and created by English landscape designer Susana Walton, wife of composer William Walton. The garden extends across several terraced levels, filled with exotic plants, tropical species, fountains, ponds, and greenhouses.
The botanical trail is designed to enhance the island's microclimate and offers an immersive experience of scents, colors, and sea views. Beyond its natural beauty, La Mortella is also a cultural venue, with musical events and concerts held in an open-air amphitheater, creating a unique blend of nature and art. It is one of Campania's most refined and evocative attractions.
