Giardini Ravino

This year, among the highlights of new openings in Ischia, we recommend an original garden worth visiting. Open only a few days a week, the garden offers a fascinating walk through a variety of exotic and local vegetation. On display, among water streams, is an impressive collection of cacti and other plants that look like natural sculptures - a collection gathered over 30 years which is a must see for any any garden fan.

I loved this garden. Though small in area, it makes the maximum use of space and different levels to show off an amazing variety of different cactus plants. You don't even have to be a cactus fan to enjoy it, the place is artistic and just a pleasure to explore. Right at the centre is a whitewashed building that used to be little old winery, but now acts as the cafe / restaurant. It's a really nice place to relax, on a terrace with quirky wooden furniture and sun canopies - slightly bohemian. Peacocks strut around freely, being noisy but amusing show-offs. We had a simple tasty lunch of Linguini Al Lemone - a little hand written sign in the cafe said the lemons used were picked from the garden. It's perfectly possible to walk to Giardini Ravino from Forio town. Head along the coast road towards the Poseiden thermal resort but turn uphill past the "Lovers Rocks" (Google maps will guide you.) The last bit of the walk is fairly steep, but not a problem unless its terribly hot.

Went there through recommendation from our lovely people at the B&B. Whar a finding! Beatiful views, plants, quietness! 1/2 day to visit, then walked to the near S. Francesco beach for afternoon swims (always through recommendation) and then walked to Forio and had dinner there, caught the bus back to Ischia Ponte and had a lovely day!

I Giardini di Cataldo

A walk through a lemon grove. Taste and sale of typical Sorrento products and liqueurs: Limoncello, Oranges, Mandarin, Liquorice, Basil, Fennels, Nuts, Limoncello Babà and Marmalades.

Reviewed By Meemo46 - Scarborough, United Kingdom

Absolute must visit for anyone going to Sorrento, ice cream is amazing and the gardens are beautiful... and of course the limoncello is the best in Sorrento, organic and minimal ingredients... you can see the whole process with a tour round the small factory.

Orto Botanico di Portici

Reviewed By vessi80 - North Lanarkshire, United Kingdom

This amazing Borboun palace is off the radar for many tourists yet is an incredible building full of treasures. It's only open on Saturdays, Sundays and Thursday afternoons .I bought the combined ticket for the palace and the nearby rail museum at Pietrarsa for 9 euros- a bargain for a whole day of perfect enjoyment. Public transport proved easier than I imagined as there's a CV train which leaves Sant'Agnello and Sorrento to Portici Bellavista en route to Napoli.. It's about a twenty minute walk to the palace and you're following signs for the university. Anyone needing precise directions can message . LInda and Laura at reception were so welcoming . Most visitors seemed to be Italian and like me were immediately enthralled by the grand entrance which the photo above really captures perfectly. Restoration works are obviously ongoing but there is still so much to see. I was here for well over 2 hours. The Royal apartments are full of splendid artworks . The Sienna Yellow Room was my favourite as well as the Flora Statue in Hall 9- this beautifully restored sculpture used to be outside in the garden and now inside can be admired up close and personal so to speak. The Chinese room was breathtaking and the Herculanense Museum Room 6 had on display such wonderful copies of the artworks from the Vesuvian Sites in a beautifully designed and lit space. Just by coincidence , my trip to Ercolano was planned for the following day. The gardens are beautiful so make sure you do go outside and look up to see the fantastic sun dial. The Botanic garden is across the road and gives you the chance to see parts of the unrestored building so appreciating the amount of effort that has gone into restoration so far. Towards the end of my holiday , I visited Caserta Palace but I have to say the atmosphere here made it special for me and I'm glad I made the effort to visit.
