Do not miss the botanic garden in central Taormina, also called Villa Comunale. The garden was originally the home of Lady Florence Trevelyan, English noblewoman and cousin of Queen Victoria. She lived in Taormina since 1884 and married the mayor, Salvatore Cacciola. The park was created according to Lady Florence’s wishes as a typical English garden in which many rare plant species were planted. The rumour says she was not happy living in Taormina, so she got her own garden and things went better. She died in 1907.
Entrance is free, open from 9am to sunset. Take witha book, coffee and croissant. Here you get a relaxing moment from busy Taormina.
