Where yesterday’s tales
create today’s stories

Castle Elvira is a Luxury Hotel dominating the St Elia Ridge in Salento, only ten minutes from the breathtaking city of Lecce, aka: “The Florence of the south”.

Constructed in the late 19th century, but abandoned for more than 100 years, Castle Elvira was discovered again in 2018 and underwent a magnificent four year restoration. In 2022 and to international acclaim, Elvira finally reopened her freshly painted castle doors and welcomed her first guests after more than a century.

In 2023 Elvira was presented with countless industry awards, including “Best Art and design Hotel in Europe”.

Inside the castle and her other historical buildings, 20th century design details meet eclectic furnishing and state of the art technology to create the ultimate luxury guest experience in this art and design led luxury boutique hotel.

Stay at Castle Elvira
and Tower Elvira

Elvira consists of four beautifully restored historically important buildings, the castle, the medieval tower, the ancient masseria and the castle cottage. The hotel sits on a gated private estate consisting of 37 acres of woodland, olive and citrus groves, and three stunning stone pools sunken into the estate’s Italian gardens. The Elvira restaurant and bar is housed in the estate’s original olive oil farm and there is an additional castle rooftop terrace cocktail and sunset bar. The castle also offers a large guest salon, a private dining room and a private cinema. Our front office is open 24 hours and also offers concierge services to help plan guests itineraries and assist with any external reservations our guests might require.
