It's a garden on the mountain that contains amazing species of flowers and, most importantly, has great views of the surrounding area. The trip in a cable car makes it even better!

This is on the first level when you go up in the Mottorone Cable Car. It is very small but is being developed with new paths being laid. Various different Alpine plants on show, some of which can be bought, in a circular route. Not too expensive to visit if you like your plants but I feel the low price reflects what's on offer. Other gifts and items also on sale. About a 5 minute walk from teh cable car station.

At the first stop in the gondola, if you like plants don't miss this gem. Inexpensive with meandering walks among rare plants

Cheap to enter but (in September) tired. Other gardens in the area are massively better. Look if you'r passing but not worth a trip in their own right unless you'r a real plant geek.

We like gardens and go to them all - and this was an interesting spot but it is tired and n one seems much to care.

The few flowers that were there looked limp and starved of water. The grounds are pleasant enough but not really worth the money or effort

A very tranquil place to sit and contemplate the stunning view. I think the flowers were past their best when we visited in mid August but still worth the 4 Euro entry.

Yes the toilets are both odd and inadequate. Yes the plants are not the most interesting in number or choice but if you paid your money and did nothing but sit at the view point and take tens of photos as we did the you get your money's worth 3times over!!I know we have all been up the cable car and seen all the views but as this is further down it is really worth the visit.Don't miss out on this opportunity is our advice!

Well worth taking the Funivia up to the first station and taking a 10-15 minute stroll to see the small gardens and enjoy the views. There is a small cafe by the cable car station where you can get a coffee, light lunch, etc. but nothing at the gardens. Very basic wc facilities up here (squatting only!)

The view of the lake on a clear day is simply stunning. The gardens are peaceful and are a haven for wildlife.
