Castle Elvira: A Renaissance of Beauty and History
Built in the late 19th century, Castle Elvira was abandoned the same year it was completed, remaining untouched for over 120 years. In summer 2022, after a remarkable restoration that garnered international acclaim, Castle Elvira proudly reopened its grand doors to guests.
A Vast Private Estate
The Elvira estate spans 37 acres of exclusive woodlands, olive and citrus groves, and exquisite Italian gardens. The castle and its charming cottage offer six uniquely designed suites, accommodating up to 13 guests in utmost privacy and comfort.
Elegant Amenities & Serene Spaces
The estate features two stunning stone pools, a spacious jacuzzi, and a tranquil yoga and meditation area nestled within lush gardens. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant, specializing in authentic Pugliese cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Moments to Cherish
Castle Elvira also boasts a private cinema, an intimate dining room for special occasions, and an elegant rooftop bar that opens each evening for spectacular Salento sunset views.
