In the serene countryside of southern Italy, where light filters softly through pine branches and the air carries the scent of herbs and earth, Petra Country House invites you to rediscover what matters most. Located in Monteroni di Lecce, this boutique retreat doesn’t promise extravagance—it promises something far richer: peace, presence, and the quiet joy of just being.
Petra Country House, Where Every Detail Tells a Story
Petra Country House is the kind of place that rewards attention. Every space, from the handmade stone pathways to the olive-tree-shaded corners of the garden, speaks to a love of simplicity and craftsmanship. It’s not flashy. It’s not grandiose. But it’s filled with life, beauty, and the care of the people who call it home.
Hospitality here means being welcomed like a friend, not processed like a guest. It means slowing down long enough to savor your surroundings—and your own thoughts.
Rooms that Reflect Time and Place
Petra’s rooms are designed not just for sleeping, but for settling in. Each space draws inspiration from the ancient Greek, Roman, or Messapian presence in Salento, creating a subtle, historic ambiance. Stone, wood, light, and color are blended to make rooms feel grounded, personal, and timeless.
Amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private bathrooms ensure comfort. But it’s the stillness, the design, and the harmony with the landscape that truly make these rooms unforgettable.
Experiences That Bring You Back to Yourself
The services at Petra are not meant to fill your schedule—they’re meant to free you from it. A select offering of wellness and cultural amenities ensures that every guest can reconnect with the simple joys of life. Among the most loved are:
- A pool surrounded by nature for sun-soaked rest and moonlit reflection
- Garden nooks for reading, journaling, or simply sitting still
- A bocce court that revives laughter and lightness
- An indoor gathering space perfect for yoga, music, or creative exploration
All services are curated with care—offering not distraction, but direction.

A Window into Real Salento
What elevates a stay at Petra is the invitation to go beyond the surface of tourism and into the rhythms of real local life. Guests can engage in small group, hands-on experiences that reveal the soul of the region:
- Cooking classes where the dish is only part of the story
- Wine tastings that unfold like conversations, not performances
- Craft sessions where artisans share time-honored techniques and insights
These encounters are not entertainment. They are expressions of care, identity, and human connection.
Looking to share something with others? Petra also offers full support for events, retreats, and special occasions. Whether it’s a wedding, a workshop, or a private family reunion, every moment is shaped with dignity, warmth, and style.
Where Slowness Becomes Sacred
Situated between the baroque beauty of Lecce and the crystalline shores of Salento’s coastlines, Petra makes it easy to explore and even easier to return. You can roam ancient towns or sunbathe by the sea—but the real magic is knowing you’ll come back to stillness, stars, and soul.
Why Petra Means Something
In a world that chases the next, the fast, the loud—Petra invites you to stay. To taste. To listen. To remember that life is built from small moments, honestly lived. The joy of fresh figs. The silence of early morning. A conversation shared beneath olive trees.
These are the luxuries Petra gives freely.
Petra Country House isn’t a resort—it’s a refuge. A place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the world within and around you. For those who seek something honest, warm, and human, Petra is not just a beautiful stop on the journey. It is the journey.
