In a world filled with distractions and deadlines, Petra Country House stands as a gentle reminder of what travel can be—a return to simplicity, depth, and human warmth. Set in the peaceful countryside of Monteroni di Lecce, this boutique estate in Salento is more than a destination. It’s a call to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
Petra Country House – The Place Where Simplicity Becomes Luxury
Petra doesn’t impress with extravagance—it comforts with authenticity. From the moment you walk through its gates, the sounds, scents, and rhythm of rural Italy envelop you. The olive trees sway in the wind. The sun paints golden hues across stone paths. And you, the guest, are welcomed like a long-awaited friend.
At Petra, every detail matters—not because it’s elaborate, but because it’s intentional.
Rooms That Resonate with the Land
The accommodations at Petra Country House are more than beautiful—they are meaningful. Inspired by the region’s Greek, Roman, and Messapian heritage, each room is a quiet celebration of Salento’s cultural soul. Natural materials, handcrafted decor, and soft, grounding colors create spaces where rest feels sacred.
Guests enjoy all the comforts they need—air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, and high-end finishes—while being wrapped in a design philosophy rooted in balance, tradition, and care.
Services that Soothe, Not Overwhelm
Petra offers a curated collection of services that promote well-being, not busyness. Here, luxury is redefined as stillness, time, and attention:
- A saltwater pool with hydro-massage, shaded by trees and kissed by sun
- Outdoor seating nooks for morning reflection or afternoon reading
- A bocce court for laughter and local tradition
- A cozy auditorium for yoga, art workshops, or evening talks
Petra’s services don’t entertain—they restore.
Experiences That Stay in Your Heart
What makes Petra unforgettable is its deep connection to the life of the region. Guests are invited not just to visit Salento, but to experience it from the inside out:
- Join local cooks to prepare regional recipes in cooking classes
- Sip and savor wines from nearby vineyards in guided tastings
- Work with local artisans who carry forward generations of craft knowledge
These are not activities for tourists. They’re moments of exchange, of listening, of presence.
And for those marking special occasions or gathering for shared purpose, Petra offers itself as a refined, intimate venue for events, retreats, and milestones. Whether you come for celebration or solitude, Petra adapts with grace and intention.
Perfectly Positioned for Peace and Discovery
Petra’s setting allows you to explore freely and return quietly. Visit the architectural marvels of Lecce. Drive to the beaches of Porto Cesareo or Otranto. Wander the hills and stone villages of inland Puglia.
And when the day ends, come back to Petra—where dinner awaits under the stars and silence is part of the service.
Travel That Transforms
Petra Country House doesn’t offer the usual experience. It invites a different kind of travel—one that transforms instead of distracts. One that leaves you not just rested, but changed.
This is a place for those who seek stories, not souvenirs. For those who understand that beauty is in the quiet, and that real hospitality is rooted in care.
Petra Country House is a journey inward and outward—a place where you rediscover the joy of slowness, the power of simplicity, and the richness of connection. It’s not just about where you go. It’s about how you feel when you get there.
Let yourself feel more. Come home to Petra Country House and remember what really matters.
