"Located on the island of Ischia, the Mortella Gardens are truly spectacular and reachable by bus or car. I arrived by bus for my visit but it does look like there is a parking lot (linked below) in case you decide to take your car over to Ischia on the ferry. Otherwise a taxi can also likely drop you there but plan ahead for a pickup
There is a nice Tea House serving drinks and small bites (if I recall).
The garden spreads for about 2 hectares and has a major collection of exotic, rare plants that is constantly widened and developed, year after year. The diversity and wealth of the collection is such that La Mortella can be considered a botanic garden. Fountains, ponds, streams are scattered everywhere and allow the cultivation of a various array of water-loving plants such as papyrus, lotuses and tropical water lilies. The garden has three tropical greenhouses: the Victoria House, the Orchid House and the Temple of the Sun.
Tips:
- check the website for operating hours (seasonal)
- bring bug spray - aggressive greenhouse mosquitos
- bring a snack just in case
- wear comfortable walking shoes
