Even though it was hot, we found it really interesting. Our guide was lovely and patient. It was a pleasant tour that rekindled our love for herbs and nature
A wonderful guided tour the many scented and aromatic plants and trees of the garden. Some we knew well from Australia, others were completely new! Our guide Behe was awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful visit. It was a place of green serenity overlooking the steep climbs of the city. We'd highly recommend a tour! Well worth the money and time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We're so happy you enjoyed the experience and that our host made you feel welcome. It's always a pleasure to hear that the warmth and care of our team made your visit special. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences!
Often you travel far from home to visit particular places, but if you carefully search our lands they always surprise us with hidden pearls that you never expect. This sensory journey allows you to learn about aromatic herbs, ornamental plants and fruit trees typical of the territory, which change and bloom according to the various seasons, all immersed in a setting of pre-earthquake ruins that make the atmosphere unique. The relaxation corner allows you to admire the view of Ragusa Ibla in the shade of the carob tree, while sipping a cold drink that was kindly offered to us by Daniele, the Owner prepared and extremely available who led us along the entire route. At the end of the tour, you can take home your box with the aromas collected by yourself from the various plants, and also create your own seedling to grow.
It was a delightful meander through the beautiful hillside garden. Just me and the young gardener who obviously loves sharing his knowledge about the history of the place and the trees, vines, flowers and herbs that have been planted there. I had the added benefit of tasting the fruit of the prickly pear cactus which was a first for me. We were accompanied along the way by beautiful lizards 🦎 and by the sound of the river below. A lovely experience for anyone interested in the natural world. I recommend it.
