This was a very pretty park where you could spend a couple of hours walking around while getting away from the crowds. There is some history, nice gardens and stunning views of the Ionian Sea. I would highly recommend a visit. Take your time, enjoy the peacefulness and snap some beautiful photos.

This is an incredibly beautiful park that was donated by Florence Trevelyan to the city. The pathways, plants, trees and views are stunning. You will even find wonderful playground equipment, exercise equipment, and gazebos. It is like a fairy tale place! It is all beautifully cared for by the city. It is definitely worth a visit and a wonderful place to relax.

As it is off the beaten tourist track, we were almost alone among the lush vegetation in this lovely public garden. Originally named Hallington Siculo, it was created by Florence Trevelyan, an English gardener who fell in love with Taormina. In 1890, she moved there, purchased the lovely Isola Bella, married Professor Salvatore Cacciola and died there in 1907. She imported a lot of non-native plants to this garden and erected some buildings for decoration (so-called follies) from which birds could be watched.

I was in Taormina in May, the weather is ideal, 25, 26 degrees. The village is beautiful, to walk and enjoy the panoramic views from the main square (if it is clear you see the Volcano Etna !!!) and from the old theater (admission to the theater costs 12 euros, a little expensive in my opinion). Important fact, in the square 9 de Abril there is a public bathroom. One euro was paid, super clean and comfortable. And I recommend getting off in the cable car (or funicular) to the beach. To the right is Mazzaro beach and to the left isola Bella beach, in May there are few people, it is public and the water is crystal clear, beautiful everything!! The cable car costs 10 Euros round trip. Beautiful experience. I went from Catania by bus, round trip, with Interbus, 9 euros total. You can buy the ticket the same day in Via D'Amico 187 and a few meters away is the terminal, several buses depart during the day, and it takes about 1 hour and 45 min, and reaches the end of Taormina, from there walk you get everywhere. I loved Taormina!!!

Beautiful gardens on the cliff edge that were created by an Englishwoman, Florence Trevelyan. Lovely views across the bay to Etna. Lots of sheltered walkways and benches if you want to sit in the shade for a while. Planted borders, unusual follies, statues and a children's play area. A delightful place to spend a bit of time away from the crowds.

The veiws from the top are amazing looking towards Isola Bella and to the South. The narrow streets and shops are really worth a visit as is the Theatre. However it gets very busy and then not so nice, we went to the theatre for 9, parking was ok and almost had it to ourselves. Leaving at 11, all the visitor groups had arrived and very busy.

This is a pleasant space offering lots of shade. There are many areas to explore. (Some parts were not available.) Nice place for a wander or a rest. There is a bougainvillea hedge which looked lovely when we visited. Fabulous vies of Etna. The park has a bar and toilet facilities. There is a small display of some war memorabilia. Some areas, especially some of the buildings, are in need of maintenance

This garden was directly across the street from our hotel. It is a beautiful garden with incredible views, statuary, birds singing and not crowded at all. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon stroll. It is also close to other attractions.
