In the golden light of Puglia’s countryside, surrounded by stone paths and pine trees, Petra Country House welcomes travelers into a world of simplicity, elegance, and soul. Located in Monteroni di Lecce, just minutes from the historic center of Lecce and the crystal coastlines of Salento, Petra isn’t just a place to rest—it’s a gateway to the true Italian way of life.
Petra Country House: A Country Home Built on Meaning
Petra Country House is founded on a belief that true hospitality is emotional, personal, and timeless. This is not a hotel—it is a home where each guest is seen, valued, and embraced.

Rooms That Reflect Roots and Refinement
Petra’s accommodations are designed to honor the history of Salento, with rooms inspired by Greek, Roman, and Messapian civilizations. Each space tells a story through natural textures, earthy tones, and artisan elements. At the same time, guests enjoy full modern comforts: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, premium linens, and private bathrooms.
Whether you prefer the serenity of the Greek room, the bold lines of the Roman room, or the rustic charm of the Messapian suite, your stay will be one of harmony and grounding.
Services That Nourish Body and Mind
Every element of Petra’s service offering is designed to restore balance and foster connection:
- A panoramic swimming pool with hydrotherapy, surrounded by nature
- Quiet corners in the garden for reflection, journaling, or meditation
- A traditional bocce court that brings lightness and fun
- An indoor space adaptable for events, retreats, and shared creativity
Petra doesn’t overwhelm with options—it offers just enough, so you can truly rest, be present, and enjoy.
Real Encounters, Real Italy
What makes Petra Country House unforgettable is its commitment to authentic local experiences. Guests are not spectators—they are welcomed into the everyday beauty of Salento:
- Cook traditional dishes alongside local hosts in hands-on lessons
- Taste regional wines with context and care, not just sampling
- Create with artisans, learning about paper mâché, ceramics, and more
These activities bring you into the region’s heart. You don’t just visit Salento—you become part of it.
Planning something special? Petra is also available for private events, intimate ceremonies, and mindful retreats. The setting, services, and sensitivity of the hosts make it ideal for moments that matter.
A Place to Start and Return
Petra’s location is the perfect balance between immersion and exploration. Spend your mornings discovering Lecce’s Baroque streets, your afternoons by the sea, and your evenings under Petra’s quiet sky. Each day begins and ends with stillness.
Here, travel becomes a flow—between movement and rest, discovery and depth.
More Than Hospitality—A Way of Life
Petra Country House invites you to step into a lifestyle where care is given freely, beauty is simple, and time feels expansive. It is for those who seek more than luxury—it is for those who seek truth, warmth, and memory.
This is not the Italy of postcards. This is the Italy of shared meals, golden sunsets, early morning light, and conversation that lingers.
