Carved into volcanic rock in 1949 by the late English composer Sir William Walton and his wife Lady Susana, Mortella Gardens were the ideal getaway and the couple's private home.
You'll have some free time to wander through the gardens yourself, taking as much time as you desire to admire the unique collection of flora. You can purchase limited refreshments while at Mortella Gardens, but it would be a good idea to eat a big breakfast before departure.
