For those who love plants and gardens - Entrance to the garden is €12 for adults, on foot or by taxi entry from the bottom, by car free parking at the top and entry from the top. Very beautiful, lots of incredible plants. Very interesting

GARDENS AND BARS - The gardens are spectacular, carefully maintained by the staff. The view is breathtaking. The time to visit is about two hours. We went in the morning around 10:30 and found few people and little heat; There is also a car park from which you can go down from point 20 to point 1 (in reverse). The bar halfway through the route is very suggestive: we had a juice, a glass of prosecco and a zingara sandwich and a slice of ricotta and pear cake... all excellent!! The plants and flowers present are wonderful and there is also the tree fern, one of the oldest plants in the world. I highly recommend having this experience, for those like me who hate insects I can guarantee that, although they are present, they are not particularly annoying.

Ischia- a wonderful daytrip. - We went with Mariarossario- what a caring and calm guide- she is a jewel. She made us all feel comfortable- even when the bus gave problems. The scenic trip, lunch and beautiful gardens all contributed to a wonderful experience. Thanks so much!

A garden of exotic esoteric charm - The visit to the Gardens of Sir and Lady Walton was an experience of the senses thanks to the scents and colors of exotic plants (from Africa and South America in the garden in the Valley and from Asia in the garden in the hills). Priceless view on the western part of the island that you can enjoy from the resort Zaro. Both the Temple of the Sun (an ancient cistern converted into a greenhouse with bas-reliefs, paintings and writings of mythological inspiration) and the Lady Walton memorial and the victoria's house exude a mysterious and perhaps esoteric charm. Along the way, you will come across a small concert hall-theatre with attached library that welcomes the visitor with symphonic music by composer Walton, and numerous objects (photos, medals, sculptures, paintings, stage clothes). At the end of the route (at least 2 hours), near the so-called Greek theater, there is a colonial-style dining area.

Lovely island - The viewing point for lunch was out of this world… the mortella gardens were beautiful. It was a long walk from the port to the bus, which we were not aware of and one of the party had some mobility issues.
