Opening Spring 2022 and marrying classic and contemporary style, attention to detail is the standard at Castle Elvira. Eclectic furnishings and art combined with the architecture of a 20th century castle offer and a unique coupling of style and sophistication surrounded by 37 acres of woodlands, olive and lemon groves and gardens owned by the property. There are 4 accommodations in the castle and 6 more options on property.

A 3-year restoration project to bring back to life a castle built by love but abandoned by tragedy for almost 100 years has brought a great amount of gratitude for the love and devotion that formed its foundation. Castle Elvira evokes these feelings and the dedication the owner has to the  resurrection of this magnificent building and grounds to its former splendor with all the modern day conveniences.

A sense of whimsy and humor co-exist with a very serious dedication to service will bring a unique and personalized experience to every guest. An onsite restaurant offering the best of Pugliese cuisine, a mobile bar, landscaped gardens and pools are just the beginning. Rickshaw peddle bikes, a cinema and a 12-person jacuzzi are also on hand to lend to the hospital and sense of fun and luxury.  Learn the local cooking recipes with a private lesson or sit for a portrait with artist Harvey-B-Brown in his private atelier.

If you decide to venture off property you will find yourself surrounded by vineyards and in close proximity to where the Ionian and Adriatic Seas meet. Close by is the beautiful Baroque town of Lecce and The White City of Ostuni which bear witness to the centuries of history from the rules of the Romans, Byzantine Greeks and the Normans. For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby lakes, nature reserves and hiking options are many.
