When the crowds fade and the air turns crisp with the scent of olive trees and woodsmoke, Petra Country House reveals a quieter, more intimate side of southern Italy. Nestled in the countryside near Lecce, Petra is the perfect destination for off-season travelers who seek beauty, stillness, and a more authentic experience of Salento.
Why travel off-season?
Spring, autumn, and even winter in Puglia offer their own magic:
- Spring blooms with wildflowers, soft light, and fragrant herbs
- Autumn brings harvests, wine festivals, and golden sunsets
- Winter offers cozy evenings, cultural events, and peaceful landscapes
Off-season means no crowds, lower prices, and deeper connections—with locals, traditions, and yourself.
