About
A story of family and authenticity
Seafront hotel in Pulsano, in the Ionian Salento
Hotel The Garden was born in one of the most enchanting settings of Salento: Lido Silvana, in the Marina di Pulsano. More than a simple hotel, we are a refuge designed for those seeking authentic experiences, contact with nature and a welcome that feels like home.
Family welcome
We are a family-run business, with the soul of those who love to make people feel good. The quality of our services is accompanied by the authenticity of our style.
Attention to detail
From the rooms to the common areas, from breakfast to sunset on the terrace: everything is designed to offer you a tailor-made, relaxing and carefree holiday.
The rebirth of the hotel
The Garden was founded in Lido Silvana, in Marina di Pulsano, as a hospitality project carefully curated in every detail: modern rooms, bright spaces, quality services and constant attention to comfort and guest care. In recent years, the property has undergone a complete renovation, with the aim of offering a more functional and contemporary experience, while preserving the family identity that defines us.
Family management and sustainable vision
We are a family tied to this territory and we put passion, dedication and constant presence in every aspect of hospitality.
We are not a chain or a standardized hotel: we personally take care of the welcome, the cleaning, the cooking and even the selection of raw materials.
At the same time, we believe that tourism must be ethical and sustainable, which is why we continually invest in ecological solutions, local collaborations and responsible choices. The Garden is our life project, not just a business.
Sustainable by choice, not by fashion
We are strongly committed to sustainability: we are approximately 80% energy self-sufficient, thanks to solutions such as photovoltaic canopies in the parking area and electric vehicle charging stations. In our food and dining services, we also prioritise suppliers and products with a controlled supply chain, choosing quality over convenience.
80% energy self-sufficiency: thanks to the photovoltaic systems installed, we produce internally most of the energy we consume.
Electric Vehicle Charging: In our solar-covered car parks, we offer the possibility of charging electric cars for our guests.
Carefully selected raw materials: in the restaurant, bistro and ice cream shop we choose products from a controlled supply chain, local and seasonal. We do not aim for convenience, but for sustainable quality.
Responsible daily management: we reduce the use of plastic, optimize consumption and adopt careful and conscious waste management practices.

The Garden was born from our love for our land, Marina di Pulsano. Our project combines the warm hospitality of a family-run management with the professionalism of a modern property. Our philosophy is to make every guest feel not like a simple customer, but truly “at home”, offering the freedom of a serviced residence with the care and attention of a quality hotel.
Yes, we believe Puglia is wonderful in every season. We are open all year round to welcome not only summer tourists, but also business travellers, guests looking for a relaxing winter escape, or those wishing to celebrate special occasions at our restaurant. Our property is heated and welcoming even during the colder months.
We have made a clear ethical choice: to protect the natural beauty of Lido Silvana. Thanks to significant investments in green technologies (such as photovoltaic and solar thermal systems), the hotel has achieved near-total energy independence. Staying with us means choosing a low environmental impact holiday.
Families are at the heart of what we do. We know that travelling with children requires special care, which is why we offer spacious rooms with a kitchenette (ideal for baby meals and flexible schedules), baby cots on request and safe areas where children can play. We are the ideal hotel for those looking for a stress-free family holiday.
Absolutely. Our property is designed to ensure privacy and tranquillity. Our suites and rooms with garden or sea views, combined with services such as in-room breakfast (on request) and candlelight dinners on the Roof Garden, make The Garden a perfect destination for romantic getaways and anniversaries.
Our cuisine is a tribute to the Taranto area and the wider Puglia region. We carefully select locally sourced ingredients, from fresh fish from the Ionian Sea to seasonal vegetables, as well as flours used in our pizzeria and pastry kitchen. We believe in the value of a short supply chain to ensure freshness and to support local producers.
The property is run with passion by a local team who know every secret of the area. Our strength is our staff: friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to recommend the best beach, the right excursion or the must-try local dish.
Marina di Pulsano is a strategic hidden gem. It offers the same crystal-clear sea as more crowded Salento destinations (such as Gallipoli or Porto Cesareo), but with a more relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Moreover, our location allows you to easily reach Taranto (the City of the Two Seas), the Valle d’Itria and Matera, making us the perfect base for exploring Southern Italy.
