Petra Country House – Travel That Awakens the Heart
At Petra, you’re not ushered in with routine gestures—you’re welcomed like family. Here, hospitality isn’t scripted; it’s instinctive. The hosts understand that the greatest luxury is not in marble or sparkle, but in being genuinely cared for. And that’s what you feel, from the way they remember your preferences to the gentle pace at which life moves on the estate.
Rooms That Speak Without Words
The rooms at Petra are living tributes to the heritage of Salento, echoing the essence of the Greeks, Romans, and Messapians who once called this region home. Each space blends traditional design with modern comfort—wooden accents, natural fabrics, and soft stonework come together to create an atmosphere of effortless elegance.
Amenities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and thoughtful touches that make every stay feel curated just for you.
Thoughtful Services, Deeply Felt
Petra doesn’t believe in excess. Instead, it provides the kind of services that support reflection, joy, and peace. With a selection of experiences and amenities tailored to your rhythm, every moment becomes more than a pause—it becomes a presence:
- A peaceful saltwater pool under pines, perfect for sunrise swims or sunset stillness
- Outdoor spaces for quiet reading, writing, or sharing a bottle of wine
- A bocce court for playful, unplugged interaction
- An indoor space for meditation, movement, or meaningful gathering
Each offering is gentle and restorative—a reminder that you are here to feel, not to rush.
From Visitor to Participant
Petra opens the doors to real Italian life, offering experiences that are rooted in exchange, not display. You’ll connect with locals not as a spectator, but as a participant in their living traditions:
- Cooking sessions that reveal family stories as much as recipes
- Wine tastings where passion, not pretension, guides each pour
- Artisan encounters that share the hands and hearts behind Salento’s crafts
And if you\’re coming with intention—be it for a retreat, creative residency, or intimate event—Petra provides the space and support for meaningful, tailored gatherings that feel both refined and deeply human.
A Place to Come Alive Again
Surrounded by nature, and just minutes from Lecce’s baroque beauty and Salento’s turquoise coastlines, Petra strikes the perfect balance between exploration and sanctuary. Discover, then return. Engage, then rest. It’s this natural flow between movement and stillness that makes Petra not just a place—but a state of being.
Why Petra Is More Than a Stay
Guests don’t just remember Petra for its views or cuisine. They remember how it made them feel—rested, inspired, reconnected. In a time when travel often feels transactional, Petra remains relational. Real. Restorative.
