Traveler reviews
Irina Andreeva
★★★★★a year agoOne of the best gardens in Palermo. Gigantic ficus trees,palms, cacti and roses are just beautiful. You can't stop admiring the magnanimity of Nature. There is the 18th century villa, listed building that is a public library now, a very popular place indeed. The public toilet is located here. Tortoises in the ponds are the stars, so cute and friendly. Some interesting fountains along the alleyway. Also there's a playground for the kids. Great place for relaxation for the whole family.
Nataliia
★★★★★3 years agoA green island of nature in the noisy city. The park is cozy, but unfortunately not well looked after. Fantastic plants - banyan trees, lemons, palms, you name it. The park is surrounded by the wall so you won’t hear noise from the street much. There is a family of cute and friendly cats living there - come to say hi to those fluffy beauties if you wish.
