The Area
Casina Elia is just 3 km from the charming towns of Alezio and Parabita and 7km from Gallipoli and the coast. Alezio has some superb baroque buildings, high-quality shops and cafes, a market, restaurants and a relaxed, authentic feel. Gallipoli is a true jewel of a town, set on a fortified island and featuring some fabulous architecture as well as lively nightlife and some great restaurants. The delightful baroque town of Lecce is just 40 minutes drive, most certainly worth a visit.
Tennis courts and horse riding within a 10 minutes drive from the villa!
We will also be pleased to organise several bespoke activities, such as wine tasting tours or day trips to Matera.

Casina Elia is very special and we adored our time here. We would love to return one day. It's spectacularly beautiful and it felt very loved - a real family home. We felt very relaxed in a beautiful setting.
Christy Kerr September 2025
Our stay at Casina Elia was above expectations, memorable, to be repeated. The style and ambiance of the villa were extremely special, very homely but unique. Yes, it was very special, and we would love to come back.

Casina Elia was absolute perfection! From the expansive grounds to the design details to the comfy feel - it was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation getaway. I'm so happy I stumbled upon The Thinking Traveller to help plan my Puglia getaway - the amount of quality locations and options was simply unmatched elsewhere. Would we return to Casina Elia? Absolutely yes, and I would highly recommend to any small group of people who are looking for the ideal getaway time. This is such a special location!

Casina Elia is very comfortable and in a peaceful setting. What stood out were the outside spaces and the pool as well as the open gardens. It's a wonderful location, close to many beaches, villages and great restaurants.

Casina Elia was a really special place with so many beautiful spaces to relax in. Whilst very stylish and stunning it still felt homely. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and choosing different places to eat. No need to go anywhere else when you are only there for a few days.
