Sant'Efis Hotel

One of the best hotels and i've been to a lot to compare to! The setting of main pool, gardens, garden pool, restaurant and beach is just idyllic. We had two suites, they are amazing, views over the pool and gardens, huge rooms, great standard and high quality. Cleanness of this hotel is the best i've never seen. The breakfast is great, all staff are friendly and really helpful. The manager is round daily to chat to and she runs a great hotel. Although the hotel was full, you can always get a sun bed and feel the openness of space. It's so quiet in the day and evening, total relaxation. Don Carlo restaurant is lovely, great views, super food. You must do the speciality night, good atmosphere and very high quality food, plus cheese making/tasting. Location is great to pop to some location restaurants at lunch time by a 10 minute beach walk and into Pula town in the evening by car hire, lots of restaurants to choose form and 6 minute drive. Will definitely return, and highly recommended!

Our stay at Sant'Efis exceeded all our expectations. The beautiful gardens, stunning swimming pools, and private beach with complimentary sunbeds, umbrellas, and beach towels made for a perfect holiday. Everything was impeccably clean, and the attention, care, and genuine hospitality of the staff made our stay truly special. The hotel is also surrounded by fascinating historical sites worth exploring. The only thing to keep in mind is that, due to its secluded location, a car is highly recommended for anyone planning to explore the island. We are already looking forward to coming back next year!

This is the true definition of a discreet boutique hotel and it is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and so peaceful and the staff are extremely efficient and helpful, whilst not intruding on your relaxation. Our Prestige Room was very large with a big sofa as well as a King bed and a sizeable bathroom with a superb shower and a pretty terrace to sit in the early morning or evening with a drink. The rooms are very tastefully furnished with lots of white and small authentic touches. The two pools and the quiet relaxation garden are beautifully maintained and were delightful, as well as being quiet. The beach is a good size with sufficient sunbeds and umbrellas, but the crystal clear sea is the highlight. Perfect for swimming or cooling off. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in Italy with high quality produce and a wide variety of choice. Service was also efficient and friendly. We opted for half-board and very much enjoyed the dinners each night overlooking the sea. The only minor criticism would be the lack of choice for dessert (all other courses have 3 choices) and also the rather out-of-date wine list: several wines weren’t available or had the wrong alcohol % information. But these were only tiny issues and otherwise we had a marvellous time and will definitely return!

Great stay, very sophisticated and relaxing hotel. Davide the bar manager made our last day very special, thank you!

Fabstastic and magical hotel. Super beautiful maintained garden, pools and beach. Over friendly and supportive staff! Would rate 11 out of 10 and come back any time!
