A homage to the noble traditions of Puglian country living, Casina Elia oozes charm, comfort and understated elegance in equal measure. Fragrant herb-planted gardens greet guests, hinting at the sensory pleasures to come, while the seductive pool encourages repose and relaxation.

An illustration of a guest book

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!

Thank you! Everything was wonderful at Casina Elia.

We had an unforgettable stay at Casina Elia and felt very special.

CB May 2024

Casina Elia was lovely in every sense. It felt as if we were invited to stay in a friend's home for the week. It was beautifully appointed in every way. The kitchen supplies were plentiful with dishware from the region and lots of glasses, pots, etc. to use; The personalised bed linens and towels added a nice touch of feeling welcome. The garden and various seating areas were enjoyable as was the pool. The house easily accommodated the range of ages in our party.

Every single person at Casina Elia was outstanding in assisting us during the holiday. The cook and her daughter cooked us a wonderful feast and were very gracious in writing down for us a family recipe.
