Tucked away in the timeless countryside of Salento, Petra Country House is more than just a beautiful estate—it is a place where travel transforms into memory. With its intimate atmosphere, cultural depth, and sincere hospitality, Petra offers guests something far beyond the ordinary: a story to live, to feel, and to carry home.
Petra Country House – Where Every Welcome Feels Personal
What makes Petra Country House unique isn’t just its stone walls, serene gardens, or curated experiences—it’s the feeling you get when you arrive. A feeling that someone has been expecting you. That your comfort matters. That your journey will be respected.
This isn’t service by routine. It’s hospitality by heart. You’re welcomed as you are, with space to unwind and a rhythm that invites you to slow down.
Rooms That Whisper the Past
Each guest room at Petra reflects a different chapter of Salento’s rich history. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Messapians, the design blends tradition with tranquility. From earthy textures to handcrafted furnishings, everything is chosen with meaning.
The rooms are also equipped with modern essentials—air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms—yet it’s the warmth, peace, and grounded beauty that leave the strongest impression.
Services That Bring Life into Balance
Petra’s philosophy is rooted in simplicity done with care. The estate’s collection of services is crafted to help guests reconnect with themselves and their surroundings:
- A swimming pool nestled in a pine grove, perfect for quiet swims or reading by the water
- A bocce court for playful moments and connection
- Shaded walking paths that invite reflection and breath
- An indoor space for meditation, art, music, or group retreats
This is a place where well-being is not a program—it’s the natural result of how things are done.
A Cultural Bridge, Not a Stage
Petra doesn’t offer “entertainment”—it offers authentic cultural connection. Guests are invited to participate in Salento life through intimate, meaningful experiences:
- Learn to make orecchiette or traditional desserts in hands-on cooking classes
- Taste wines from boutique producers with deep local roots
- Join workshops where local artisans share their techniques and traditions
These are not activities—they are exchanges. Encounters that leave you richer, more grounded, and more connected to the spirit of place.
And for special occasions, Petra offers the perfect stage. Whether it’s a celebration, a retreat, or a creative gathering, the estate provides elegant spaces, full support, and deep flexibility for events and private moments.
The Perfect Place to Explore and Reflect
Located near Lecce and central to the wonders of both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, Petra is an ideal starting point for discovery. Spend your days exploring baroque towns, pristine beaches, or sleepy stone villages—and your evenings unwinding in quiet beauty.
That balance between outward adventure and inward peace is what gives Petra its magic.
A Stay That Stays With You
At Petra, you don’t just pass through—you’re woven into the story. Guests leave with more than pictures; they leave with emotions, memories, and a new appreciation for slowness, sincerity, and connection.
This is a place that reminds you that travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how it makes you feel.
Petra Country House isn’t just a destination—it’s a beginning. A beginning of presence, of restoration, of storytelling. It’s for those who want their journey to mean something. Who want to be moved, not just entertained.
