History of Petranima
Petranima is a residence of the nineteenth-century located in Ostuni (BR) in the Settarte district, recently brought back to light by the best trullari masters of the Itria Valley.
Located at 310 meters above the sea level with a wide and evocative view over the valley, less than an hour from the airports of Bari and Brindisi, it lends itself today to multisensory and wellness experiences for anyone who wants to take advantage of luxury services.
The history that gives its name to the district is remarkable. Settarte is known for having been the residence of 7 masters of art: a locksmith, a pruner, a stonecutter, a digger, a shepherd, a baker and a reaper, to whom the ancient farmyard where the threshing took place is also connected.

According to an interpretation of the Mayan prophecy, theorized by the followers of the immortal Indian master Babaji, a yogi avatar born on 30 November, 203 A.D. in India, on the Italian territory there is a strip of land in which it is possible to feel safe, strong and unassailable.
This strip, identified in some districts between the municipalities of Cisternino and Ostuni, releases a web of energies and electromagnetic forces; Settarte is one of these.
Once a refuge for brigands, unique in its structure which has remained intact for centuries, Petranima is still completely immersed in nature and is a perfect, sophisticated stay for new travelers. With its fine furniture, the swimming pool carved into the rock and a stone solarium, a large terrace where you can taste local wines and products, a gymnastic path along the perimeter of the structure and over a hectare of land with ancient olive trees and oaks, Petranima is ready to welcome up to 18 guests in 6 wonderful independent suites.
A magical and spiritual place where positive energy expands itself. Environmental protection is a key on which the entire structure is based.
Petranima is equipped with a geothermal, photovoltaic and solar panels system. The swimming pool is provided with continuous sanitization and is heated by solar panels.
The entire structure is equipped with a sanitation and control system with the use of decontaminated devices.
The Prospectus and the Terrace
Petranima fully reflects the territorial identity of the place where it stands. It dates back to 1840; however the site was built probably prior to that date.
The original and oldest trullo can be identified in the façade of the Petranima complex due to its white color. Next to it stands the Saracen trullo, typical of the Ostuni countryside. The façade of the complex, therefore, is strongly characterized by the couple, which later became a triad, of Alberobello trulli and Ostuni trulli. The façade in front of the large yard is completed by a two-room farmhouse, built in the late thirties of the last century.
From the large terrace of Petranima and, in particular, from the perspective offered on the right of the façade of the complex, you can admire the wide countryside of Martina Franca, Ceglie and Cisternino, as a perfect setting for an intimate aperitif at sunset, savoring a moment that tastes of quiet, peace and pleasure.
The Farmyard
The large open space in front of the façade allowed the inhabitants of the trulli to walk and it served to weigh the grain previously beaten by the hooves of horses and / or donkeys on a large cloth.
The phase of cleaning the grains from the chaff was always done on the farmyard on windy days by several people: with the use of pitchforks the beaten ears were raised in the air so that the chaff, being light, flew away and only the heaviest grains fell back to the ground.
In a corner of this open space there was a vat intended for washing linen on steps, after having heated on fire the water taken with buckets from the trulli.
Primary Trullo
Almost a natural cave, it was a shelter during showers or sunny days for those who took care of agricultural activities in the vineyards and in the harvest of almonds and olives.
