Petra Country House: An Ideal Escape for Lovers of Tranquility, Beauty, and True Authenticity
A place where silence speaks
At Petra, silence is not empty—it’s full of meaning. It invites you to breathe, to listen, and to simply be. The estate is designed to offer a haven of calm where every sound—whether it’s birdsong or the rustle of olive leaves—becomes part of your relaxation.
This is a place for writers, thinkers, creatives, nature-lovers, and anyone seeking a pause from noise and routine.
Design rooted in heritage
Each room at Petra Country House is inspired by the civilizations that shaped the region—Greek, Roman, and Messapian. These rooms are not themed for effect but are deeply connected to the history and materials of the land. Expect stone, wood, terracotta, and handcrafted décor that radiate simplicity and elegance.
With private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, every room also offers quiet luxury and modern comfort.
Restorative services designed with care
Petra is built around the belief that true rest is active and intentional. That’s why the property includes a range of services crafted for personal wellbeing:
- A swimming pool with hydro-massage, shaded by Mediterranean pines
- Hammocks and loungers scattered across peaceful green corners
- A bocce court for leisurely fun and lighthearted bonding
- A multi-purpose indoor space ideal for yoga, readings, or private events
Here, everything invites you to slow down—and reconnect.
