Giardini la Mortella

Giardini La Mortella, on Ischia’s northwest coast, is one of Italy’s most admired private gardens. Created by composer William Walton and landscape designer Susana Walton, it combines subtropical and Mediterranean plants, water features, shaded paths, and views over Forio. The garden is especially appealing to visitors interested in horticulture, peaceful walks, and the link between landscape and music, with occasional concerts held on-site. Its carefully designed terraces and rich plant collection make it a rewarding stop for those seeking a quieter, more cultivated side of the island.
