Serena has made our stay so enjoyable in Lecce. Her hearty breakfast and personalize our need. The room was spacious. Clean, quiet and comfortable. We were on the second floor and taking the bags up two flights of stairs was very easy. The area of Lecce is walkable and you can get to the Centri Storico ( historic center) in less than 5 mins walk. Dining options from this area is numerous. There is a 10 leisurely walk to the train station. We walked to the station everytime but taxi is also available if needed and Serena will provide you with that. No need to rent a car if you will stay locally because you can do everything by foot. Highly recommend this place and I would return for sure. Philip

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.

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.

Incredible people and place

We have been travelling across southern Italy for three weeks and have stayed in several places which were all nice friendly and clean, but Casa Mamma Elvira stands above the rest for us. The location is central to everything that is historically important to see, and also central to many restaurants and shops. We ate at Mamma Elvira Cucina ,which is adjacent to the B&B and it was amazing, both the service and the food. The staff at the B&B were so kind, friendly and accommodating a special thank you to Marcida who went out of her way and as everyone there always greeted us with a smile. If we could give them more than 5 stars we would !

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.
