In the sun-soaked lands of Puglia, where ancient olive groves stretch toward the horizon and tradition meets tranquility, Petra Country House offers a different kind of welcome—one made of sincerity, attention, and emotional connection. Located in Monteroni di Lecce, this family-owned estate is not just a stay, but an immersion into the warmth and soul of Salento.
Petra Country House: A Home, Not a Hotel
The philosophy of Petra Country House is simple: guests should feel as though they’re arriving at a friend’s home. There’s no stiff formality, only genuine kindness and a sense that you’ve stepped into a world that breathes slowly and lives intentionally.
Built with respect for local architecture and designed to reflect the soul of the land, Petra’s spaces embrace you with light, silence, and a comforting sense of calm. It’s not just about service—it’s about relationship.
Rooms That Speak in Silence
Each of Petra’s rooms is a quiet story told through design. Inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Messapian cultures, every space features textures and tones that speak of history, nature, and grounded elegance. Expect wooden beams, handcrafted furnishings, and local stonework that feels both timeless and modern.
Amenities include private bathrooms, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and thoughtful lighting that shifts naturally from day to night—because even comfort, here, is a conscious act of care.
Services Crafted to Soothe and Connect
At Petra, services aren’t just about utility—they are about soul. With a curated selection of wellness-focused amenities, the estate allows you to let go, slow down, and breathe deeply:
- A natural pool with hydro-massage features set among pine trees
- Shaded paths and quiet gardens ideal for walking meditation
- A bocce court for joyful moments shared under the sun
- A multifunctional indoor space for group sessions, music, or workshops
Everything is designed not to entertain—but to enrich, in a way that lasts beyond check-out.
A Deep Dive into Authentic Salento
One of Petra’s most loved offerings is its selection of local experiences that allow guests to not only explore, but truly engage with Salento’s living traditions. You’ll be invited to:
- Join cooking classes where meals are stories, not just recipes
- Taste regional wines paired with insights from passionate producers
- Explore hands-on crafts with local artisans keeping ancient techniques alive
This is not tourism—it is connection. These moments linger in the heart long after the journey ends.
The estate also serves as an ideal venue for events, retreats, and meaningful gatherings. Whether you\’re planning a spiritual retreat, an artistic residency, or an intimate wedding, Petra’s spaces adapt to your vision, always grounded in elegance and care.
From Stillness to Discovery
Petra’s location is a perfect balance: peaceful and rural, yet close to the vibrancy of Lecce and the coasts of Otranto, Gallipoli, and Porto Cesareo. Guests can discover art, nature, and seaside charm by day—and return to Petra’s soft quiet by night.
This rhythm—of exploration and return—is the signature of the Petra experience.
Why Petra Stays With You
Guests don’t just visit Petra Country House. They remember it. They talk about the taste of homemade fig jam, the silence of the pine trees, the kindness of the hosts. They return—not just for a vacation, but because they found something rare: a place that feels real, rooted, and right.
Petra Country House is what happens when hospitality becomes a form of art and service becomes a form of love. It is a sanctuary for those who travel not to escape life—but to live it more deeply.
