    As most say about this spot it is a place for quietness and relaxation. It’s shady and large enough to “lose” a lot of people in to keep that sense of peacefulness.
    Safe too - the Carabinieri patrol the outer track by car.

    A really lovely walk and some spectacular trees. Palermo gets a bit polluted and this is a welcome escape to breathe fresh air, from fruit trees to magnificent magnolia trees, bamboo and cacti. You can lose yourself here, sit and relax, listening to the birds, watching terrapins in the ponds or enjoying a cool drink in the bar, which has exceptionally comfortable sofas under canopy’s. We recommend a trip here.

    What an experience! Didn’t expect to find such a hidden gem in the heart of famous Valle dei Templi. The garden is so antique and has lots of exemplars of citrus plants and unique man made irrigation system. With the hot Sicilian sun it was such a pleasure to stay in the shade of the trees in the picturesque landscape. 10/10 recommend to visit!

    I wasnt overall in love with Ragusa but my favourite part was this beautiful park. There's a large play area if you have little kids with you and tree lined paths and a fountain. A really nice place to sit. The day we were there it was a street theatre festival....Ibla Buskers....and there was a play for children which was brilliant. We didn't even have children with us but sat and watched it very entertained. Not sure how often they have events like that but even without the gardens are worth a visit.

    Pretty park, we had time to kill until our flight so we sat in the shade of the park. It had beautiful huge banyan trees and a pretty fountain.

    The Balio gardens, adjacent to the Castle of Venus, were built in English style by Conte Pepoli in 1872. Being a public garden, access is free. They are beautifully maintained with lush vegetation and provide a quiet spot to relax in the shade after exploring Erice.. You can admire a breathtaking view of Trapani and the salt pans from the belvedere.

    Amazing visit. Alessio was the perfect guide which explained everything about the family and perfectly described all about the family.

    There are small street signs that guide you from the main area to the gardens. Just be aware that it is quite hilly to access them unless you take a cab.
    This lovely garden is located away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist area. It has something for everyone with a WWII memorial to Italians that fought using a mini-sub (onsite) to beautiful architecture, strolling pathways, little areas for hanging out on a park bench, statuary and of course, the gardens with a magnificent view. One of my favorites of Taormina!

    A lovely public garden in the centre of the town. The balustrades around the park and the bandstand are beautifully decorated in ceramic tiles for which the town is known.

    Within the Parco Comunale there is a wonderful little museum, the Museo degli Antichi Mestieri. It is privately owned and is open Saturday and Sunday 9.30 to 12.30. It costs €2.50 and this includes a guided tour by the owner, a real enthusiast and collector. He doesn't speak a lot of English but that is not really a problem. He knows a bit and can communicate by gesture and his fascination for his collection. There are several rooms and each wall or corner has a theme. Some relate to old skills of the area with lots of equipment to see. Others relate to activities such as school, leisure, advertising etc.. There must be hundreds of toys and a lot of them work - they would do well on the Antiques Roadshow. Did you know that Fiat used to make fridges? This was definitely the highlight of our visit to Zafferana.
