What stands out about Casina Elia is the décor, the garden, the sunsets and the lovely staff. It's so relaxing. This was our second visit and we would return again.

Every aspect of Casina Elia was fantastic. For a family reunion of 34 aged 18 months to 74 over 3 villas it could not have been more perfect. Our time there will be embedded in our hearts and memories forevermore.
Virginia Buckworth July 2026
We loved Casina Elia. Our experience was fun, relaxing, and beautiful. The masseria was decorated beautifully and the grounds were lovely. My husband and daughter enjoyed the pool daily and we loved the fresh lemons from the trees. The masseria was a great location for visiting areas in Salento.

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.

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
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.
