Is Prendas, the green heart of Sant'Efis
The Tropical Is Prendas Garden in Pula
At the heart of the Hotel Sant'Efis in Pula lies Is Prendas ("the jewels"), the main garden designed for relaxation and contemplation. The pools surrounded by greenery, pergolas and shaded loungers create intimate spaces of wellbeing, where every moment becomes harmony between body and nature.
The garden is an extension of hotel life: a place to walk through, experience and breathe. Here you can read in the dedicated relaxation areas, stroll among Mediterranean aromatic plants, swim surrounded by greenery or let yourself be enveloped by the scent of the sea. Every corner invites you to slow down, breathe and rediscover the simple beauty of Mediterranean nature. A garden designed to be lived in, not merely admired.
A Unique Landscape Project in Sardinia
The garden of the Hotel Sant'Efis in Pula was designed by landscape architect Maurizio Usai, known for his ability to unite nature, architecture and landscape design. The aim was to create an authentic oasis reflecting the soul of southern Sardinia while enhancing the hotel's privileged position, just a few steps from the sea and the archaeological site of Nora.
The result? A garden that does not separate, but unites the sea, architecture and Mediterranean scrub, blending the hotel into its natural landscape.
Discover palm trees, mastic trees, bougainvillea, lavender, myrtle and rosemary, enriched with exotic touches that lend a tropical charm. Sardinian stone paths and winding flowerbeds lead you to ever-changing views, where the greenery is reflected in the blue of the pools.
An Excellence Among the Great Italian Gardens
The garden's aromas mingle with the sea breeze, offering an immersive sensory experience of scent, light and silence.
Staying at the Hotel Sant'Efis in Pula means immersing yourself in a landscape of beauty and tranquillity. Since 2023 the garden has been part of Grandi Giardini Italiani, the network celebrating Italy's most beautiful and significant gardens.
It is the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation, wellbeing and Mediterranean authenticity, a place where nature becomes an integral part of the experience of staying in Sardinia.
