In a world that moves fast and often feels impersonal, Petra Country House offers something refreshingly rare—a return to the essence of true hospitality. Nestled in the quiet beauty of Monteroni di Lecce, just outside Lecce in southern Italy, Petra is a country home built not just for comfort, but for connection, reflection, and unforgettable experiences.
Petra Country House – A Home Built on Heart
What makes Petra Country House different is not just its stone walls, pine-shaded gardens, or beautifully designed rooms. It’s the feeling you get when you arrive—a feeling of being welcomed, of belonging, of being seen.
The property is family-owned and operated, and that spirit permeates every aspect of the experience. The team doesn’t just host guests—they care for them. They remember your name, your favorite breakfast, your stories. This is the place where travel feels like coming home.
Thoughtful Design with Cultural Roots
Every room at Petra is themed around the ancient civilizations that once shaped Salento’s identity. Whether you sleep beneath the soft arches of the Greek Room, admire the stately Roman Room, or find rustic elegance in the Messapian Room, each space offers a unique experience inspired by the past.
Despite its traditional design, Petra offers all the comforts of modern travel: fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, elegant bathrooms, and a refined aesthetic that feels both grounded and sophisticated.
Personalized Services That Go Beyond the Expected
Petra Country House is not about offering everything—it’s about offering the right things. The things that soothe, nourish, and inspire. Its collection of services is a reflection of this philosophy:
- A saltwater pool with hydro-massage for deep relaxation
- A forested area with shaded walking paths and open-air seating
- A bocce court that adds a touch of fun and tradition
- A multi-use indoor space for intimate concerts, talks, or creative gatherings
Whether you seek rest or renewal, solitude or social interaction, Petra offers what your spirit needs most.
Engage with the Real Salento
At Petra, the experience doesn’t stop at the gates. Guests are invited to dive into the richness of local culture through a variety of curated experiences:
- Learn traditional recipes in private cooking classes with locals
- Taste regional wines in guided pairings with local producers
- Join artisan-led workshops in crafts like ceramics and papier-mâché
These encounters are not staged—they’re real, intimate, and always infused with local pride.
If you’re planning a celebration or group retreat, Petra also provides an ideal space for private events and creative gatherings. Whether you\’re dreaming of a romantic elopement, a spiritual workshop, or a small team offsite, the team helps craft an experience that is meaningful and memorable.
Between Exploration and Stillness
Petra Country House offers a quiet refuge—but it’s also just minutes from adventure. Explore the ancient streets of Lecce, swim in the clear waters of the Ionian coast, or hike through historic trails across Salento. Then return to Petra for rest, reflection, and reconnection.
This duality—of exploration and peace—is what keeps guests returning time after time.
More Than a Stay: A Lasting Impression
At Petra, every detail matters. Not because it must be luxurious, but because it should be intentional. The colors, the scents, the food, the way the morning light filters through the trees—all of it is designed to linger in your memory.
Petra is not about collecting destinations. It’s about creating memories that feel personal, peaceful, and lasting.
Petra Country House is where warmth, tradition, and elegance meet. It’s for travelers who seek more than a room—it’s for those who want to feel something. To be welcomed with care. To explore deeply. To rest completely.
Begin your next meaningful journey at Petra Country House—and discover why real hospitality still matters.
