We took the bus from ischia port. I asked driver to let us know the stop but we were also able to follow the route on our phone. It's a short walk from the bus stop down to the gardens. Our hotel had prebooked tickets for us for the gardens and concert later that afternoon so we collected & paid for them at the entrance kiosk. The gardens are wonderful and there is so much more to see than I expected. The terrace cafe is definitely worth a stop. We were there in September and the concert was held indoors in the concert hall and not at the open-air theatre. We didn't particularly enjoy the music choice at the concert. The concert finished about 6pm and we caught a bus back to the port (although there was a taxi driver(s) outside the gardens for anyone who did not have transport.) The bus back (a Saturday evening) was packed and we were lucky to get on, although at later bus stops more and more people (who were coming back from the beach) squeezed on so it wasn't a particularly pleasant trip back so a taxi may have been a better idea in hindsight! I definitely recommend the gardens if you have time to visit.

Lovely gardens going up the hillside, very beautiful planting, water features and great views. There are many steps so not sure how a physically disabled visitor would cope. The cafe is a rather nice place to stop for refreshments and reasonably priced. We went on the bus and walked 300m or so to the entrance. The buses run very regularly.

These gardens are just stunning. How the Waltons had the vision to design and then deliver all the different elements is awesome. Difficult to access ( not that well sign posted to get there and many steps and climbs in the garden) but if you are fortunate to manage it then go !

These gardens really are fantastic. Perfectly manicured in a casual way. Beautiful design. Amazing views and a fabulous concert ( Cambridge jazz band) watched in the Greek theatre. Wonderful, thank you. I would definitely return. Give ample time to your visit; we had 2 hours and would’ve liked more.

This is a magical space. Beautiful gardens with a host of interesting plants in wonderful settings. The cafe is perfectly set amid plants and views over the gardens. There are extensive views over the Bay of Forio. During the summer there are also concerts on Saturday and Sunday afternoons that are really worth attending. Entrance to the gardens and concert was just €20 per person. Great value.

The garden is amazing! It is much bigger than it looks online and the view from the top is amazing. It is Good to go on a sunny Day. There are lots of shade and placeres to sit and enjoy the beautiful garden and view. If you are a plant lover you must go!

Don’t miss the Mortella Gardens if you’re in Ischia. Beautiful. We stayed rather close, in Forio, but the walk there was treacherous. We took a taxi, and the second time we visited, the bus. The cafe is like a little bird’s nest with nice food.

The gardens are found down a street from the main road and can be accessed by bus. They are very well laid out so you don’t feel you have missed anything. The map provided with tickets is very useful. We went in August and it was too hot to enjoy the upper terraces for us although lots of people were wandering through happily. We did visit them though, there are a few places to sit but not often in shade. The indoor area by the cafe requires 1€ per person; there was a bit of a queue as people didn’t realise this and were trying to get in. The cafe was nice with a range of light dishes and cakes and was in shade. The gardens are very nice.

Been wanting to come here for a couple of decades and finally managed it. It did not disappoint. Wonderful area to visit, very peaceful with spectacular views. Gardeners heaven and if you like Classical music, William Walton won’t let you down. The tea room is a lovely place to rest and refresh with some food and drink and very reasonably priced. Lovely to hear William Walton being played in the background.Many surprising plants and pond life. There is also the William Walton Museum and gift shop

We visited after lunch on a very hot day. What a wonderful place, providing lots if much needed shade. The views across Forio from the hill garden are stunning (there are ramps for anyone who struggles with steps). Had delightful tea and cake in the cafe. As someone who loves taking photos of plants I loved it. We got the bus there, and you get dropped off on the main road a short walk from the entrance. We treat ourselves to a a taxi back.
