In a quiet corner of southern Italy, away from the noise and rush of modern life, there is a place where hospitality is personal, time slows down, and the landscape speaks. Petra Country House is that place—a family-run haven located in Monteroni di Lecce, offering a rare blend of simplicity, elegance, and authenticity in the heart of Salento.
Petra Country House – An Invitation to Breathe and Belong
Petra Country House isn’t just a stay—it’s an embrace. Built on land rich in history and spirit, it offers travelers a deep and honest connection to both nature and community. The philosophy behind Petra is simple yet powerful: every guest should feel like they belong.
From the moment you arrive, you\’re not just a visitor. You\’re a cherished part of the Petra family, and your comfort and joy are their priority.
Rooms with a Sense of Place
Each guest room at Petra is a tribute to the cultural roots of the region. Inspired by the Greek, Roman, and Messapian civilizations, every room tells a story through natural materials, color palettes, and handcrafted design. These are not just sleeping quarters—they are sanctuaries.
With private bathrooms, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and thoughtful lighting, your room becomes a haven where beauty meets comfort and tradition lives in every detail.
Quiet Luxury Through Personalized Services
At Petra Country House, luxury is not about excess—it’s about attention. The team has carefully curated a set of services that support both body and soul:
- A swimming pool with hydro-massage, embraced by pine trees
- Lounging spaces designed for quiet reflection or lazy conversation
- A bocce court that offers moments of simple joy
- A multi-use indoor auditorium for group activities or special occasions
This is a place where silence heals, comfort soothes, and the rhythm of life is restored.
Authentic Experiences That Nourish the Soul
Petra believes that travel should be transformative. That’s why guests are invited to participate in cultural experiences that connect them to the real Salento:
- Cooking classes led by locals using recipes passed down through generations
- Wine tastings showcasing the best of regional vineyards
- Hands-on workshops with Salento’s master artisans
These are not tourist activities. They are moments of true exchange—an invitation to listen, learn, and appreciate.
The estate also opens its doors to those looking to host something special. Whether it\’s a wedding, a wellness weekend, or a company retreat, Petra’s spaces and staff are ready to craft intimate, soulful events with the care they deserve.
A Gateway to Explore and Return
Petra’s location is a gift: close enough to Lecce’s cultural charm and Salento’s stunning beaches, but tucked away in a countryside that invites reflection. Guests can spend the day exploring baroque churches, coastal towns, and artisan markets—and come home to Petra for a sunset, a glass of wine, and the kind of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Here, adventure and calm live side by side. You can see the world—and still have space to rest from it.
A New Standard in Human-Centered Travel
Petra Country House doesn’t aim to be the biggest or most luxurious hotel. Its goal is to be the most sincere. To offer something rare in today’s travel industry: honest hospitality, slow rhythms, deep beauty, and a commitment to people over profit.
It’s a place where the personal touches matter. Where your name is remembered. Where your preferences are noted. Where your presence is valued.
Petra Country House is a soulful escape for those who crave more than checklists and itineraries. It’s for travelers who want to feel connected, present, and renewed. It’s a reminder that the best places aren’t just seen—they’re felt.
Plan your next meaningful journey with Petra Country House—where the heart of Salento becomes your home.
