Casa Mamma Elvira earns consistent praise for its central old-town location, warm and attentive hosts, spacious rooms, and a plentiful, locally inspired breakfast, creating a comfortable base for exploring Lecce on foot with thoughtful touches throughout.
Many note quiet interiors and character features like vaulted ceilings, terraces, and tasteful decor. Common caveats include no elevator, challenging parking within the ZTL, and some very small bathrooms. Overall, expect a charming stay anchored by standout hospitality.

Staying at Casa Mamma Elvira's was like staying with a great friend. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with such friendly reception. The room was spacious and clean with a nice cool air conditioning. It is the perfect location to get to all of the major attractions in the city. Parking is difficult, and I'd suggest just right away parking in the overnight lot nearby. It is managed with security, so you do not have to worry about your car. The breakfast was such a delight! Not only was the food delicious, they were genuinely happy to serve us and we were able to have wonderful conversation. This is a hotel that knows true hospitality!

Das Frühstück war das beste auf unserer Rundreise und die Enoteca la mamma und die Cucina mamma Elvira.

Uno de los muchos hoteles con encanto en Lecce. Bonita decoración, habitación muy amplia ( era la que tiene vama con dosel), sin embargo el baño era muy pequeño ( es un edificio antiguo y la distribución de los rspscios está limitado por la arquitectura). Tech muy alto. El desayuno no muy amplio pero de muy buena calidad.Costrata excepcional.Los propietarios muy majos, pudimos ocupar las habitaciones sobte la una de la tarde. La cama amplia, un poco dura ( depende del gusto de cada uno ). Mejoraria la habitación con algunas baldas más, pues espacio hay. Un consejo para llegar desde la estación de tren es llegar por la calle principal mas ancha ( hasta los cines), es mas largo el recorrido pero mucho mas cómodo si vas con maletas. Por último, señalar que debido al ser un edificio antiguo no hay ascensor , no es adecuado para personas con limitaciones físicas .

The proprietor was very proud of her city and explained the traditional breakfast food and demonstrated how to prepare it for eating. Her husband was fluent in English and helped us with any complicated queries and a little history as well. The ceilings in the hotel and rooms were domed and unique. They also assisted us in how to bring our rental car close to the hotel for loading.

Casa Mamma Elvira is an excellently located, clean and efficient family-run lodge We took the appartment option, and enjoyed a very spacious, pleasantly modern, and well furnished appartment, The lodge provides a satisfying breakfast, and daily cleanup services. The common areas (reception, breakfast salon) occupy two beautiful stone-vaulted halls, with all the visuals of history. The persons in charge are warm, attentive and most welcoming. No elevator - so be ready to use the stairs. Otherwise, just perfect.

We are a Canadian couple mid-fifties and well-travelled. This was our first time in Lecce. We found the hotel & staff to be exceptional. The Leccese people in general have a generous and kind spirit but this quaint hotel went above & beyond. The very spacious rooms were a welcome surprise, cleanliness, amenities, perfectly located and attentive staff. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice experience in the historical center of Lecce. We will definitely be back !

Best stay in a long time! We spent 4 nights at Casa Mamma Elvira and it was overall fantastic. Our apartment was clean and spacious, with a daily cleaning service. They offer a minibar service with different wines, beers and snacks. The breakfast is varied and very tasty, with lots of local specialties. We also had dinner at Cucina di Mamma Elvira and it was really good. Thank you, Serena and all your staff for an outstanding experience!

Casa Mamma Elvira is a wonderful place that combines old and new in a delightful and comfortable way! Our "room" was really an apartment with a large and comfortable bedroom, sitting area with couch, desk, and refrigerator, large bathroom and a terrace. Could not have been better with all the attention to detail, especially the art and lighting. A delicious breakfast is offered every morning with pastries made in house. Serena and her staff were nothing short of fabulous in helping us to make the most of our 5 days in Puglia. The Mamma Elvira restaurants are also wonderful, particularly Corte dei Pandolfi specializing in fish dishes, where we had perhaps the best meal in our two months in Italy!

What a new beautiful hotel in a perfect spot in the historic center. It is situated no more than 15 minutes to everything that a visitor could require. The area is as picturesque as our apartment that consisted of a well stocked kitchen, a small sitting room on entry, a table, sofa bed, large bedroom with a shower ensuite. The ceiling is breathtaking, the room is quiet and clean. There is a variety of wine for purchase in the room and the breakfast is plentiful with variety including the traditional barley bread soaked in water to soften& topped with seasoning, fresh tomatoes and olive oil. Serena is a beautiful kind person who checked us in, accompanied us to our room and showed it to us with obvious pride. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you Serena.

We really enjoyed our stay in CME. It's located in a small, quiet alley and is very centrally located. The rooms are clean, and there is a kitchen if needed. The best part of our stay were Serena at the front desk, and Paula who took care of us at breakfast. I can't say enough of how friendly and helpful they were. Paula helped book a private boat trip at the last minute, which was wonderful.

There was a fridge with a mini bar and bottles of local wine to purchase. We had a problem with our air conditioning early on which was dealt with very promptly Breakfast was continental style with plenty of choice including local savoury and sweet options which Serena explained to us.

What truly made the experience special was the outstanding hospitality of Serena and Paola. Their warmth and attention to detail were exceptional. The rooms were spotless, and breakfast each morning was a delight, with thoughtful options for allergies. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Puglia and looking for comfort, convenience, and heartfelt service.

What a new beautiful hotel in a perfect spot in the historic center. It is situated no more than 15 minutes to everything that a visitor could require. The area is as picturesque as our apartment that consisted of a well stocked kitchen, a small sitting room on entry, a table, sofa bed, large bedroom with a shower ensuite. The ceiling is breathtaking, the room is quiet and clean. There is a variety of wine for purchase in the room and the breakfast is plentiful with variety including the traditional barley bread soaked in water to soften& topped with seasoning, fresh tomatoes and olive oil. Serena is a beautiful kind person who checked us in, accompanied us to our room and showed it to us with obvious pride. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you Serena.

Lovely boutique hotel with friendly and helpful service. Our room was very spacious and nicely decorated with a comfy bed and premium linens. The hotel is in a great area and just a few minute’s walk to all the major sites in the old town.

Casa Mamma Elvira has a wonderful location on the edge of the old city - quiet yet so close to the beauty of Lecce. The service was wonderful...as was breakfast. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Lecce.

Great location near a lively square in the evening but far enough away so you don’t get any noise. We had suite 5 and used the terrace most days. Rooms were cleaned every day and staff were helpful.

The most wonderful find with fabulous staff! Central to everything, delicious breakfast with so many options (incl. Homemade cakes and bread!), lovely bright spacious rooms too. I was really late for check in because of transport and passport delays and Paola waited for me for 2 hrs without even complaining. Incredibly friendly, great value for money, don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it!

Best stay in a long time! We spent 4 nights at Casa Mamma Elvira and it was overall fantastic. Our apartment was clean and spacious, with a daily cleaning service. They offer a minibar service with different wines, beers and snacks. The breakfast is varied and very tasty, with lots of local specialties. We also had dinner at Cucina di Mamma Elvira and it was really good. Thank you, Serena and all your staff for an outstanding experience!

It’s a nice property. Very hard to park nearby as the streets are busy with limited spaces. Unfortunately, Lecce doesn’t have much to offer with regard to sightseeing, even though this is close to the historic porto. Breakfast was okay but staff watched the eggs and meat be depleted down to a few pieces and did not replenish them even though people were still eating. It would have been nice to have a full breakfast regardless of the proportions the earlier diners scooped up, unless no one had much.

This is a superb property and we loved our 3 night stay. Our host, lovely Serena, upgraded our room to an apartment, and it was fabulous, so much room and meticulously maintained. The fabulous breakfast spread was a treat, and was well managed by the joyful and efficient Paola. The property also has restaurants close by and we ate at one of them for 2 nights. The property is in a great location and our room was very quiet. A super stay!

Great little apartment - perfect for a family for 4 (with 2 teenagers!). We loved the high ceilings and the character of the rooms. The staff were lovely and genuinely really helpful. And of course the breakfast was excellent! Great central location- we had a car so parked at the nearby Park Liberty - easy 5 min walk.
