Mortella Gardens

La Mortella is a magical symphony of nature on the island of Ischia, a floral masterpiece born in 1958 and loved for 50 years by Lady Susan Walton, the visionary wife of the famous composer Sir William Walton. This enchanted garden is much more than a place, it is a story of love for the earth, an ode to the beauty that passes through time.

Immersed in an embrace of greenery, La Mortella stands like a precious jewel, a testament to botanical art intertwined with Lady Walton's passion. The project, conceived together with the renowned landscape designer Russel Page, then came to life through the eyes and creative heart of Lady Susan, who continued to shape it with her unique sensitivity.

Every stone, every flower is a note in the score of this garden of Europe, a harmony that sings the story of Lady Walton and her dedication. Through the winding paths and thematic gardens, you can sense its presence, an artistic soul dancing among the trees and fountains.

La Mortella is not just a collection of plants, but a story that develops over the years, a melody that continues to play even after the end of Lady Walton's score. Exploring this green treasure is a journey into the soul of those who have transformed a dream into reality, an emotional experience that embraces anyone who crosses the threshold of this floral paradise.
