“A place where handmade is the biggest value. From garden work, to kitchen ingredients, from craftmanship to furniture and design objects. "
PETRUS

Petrus is a family-run hotel in the heart of the meadows below Plan de Corones. Three daughters are now a young force behind this nature-inspired hotel and Gault & Millau awarded kitchen.

 

But first, it was their father Hanes, and mother Gerti, that believed, that this place had so much more to offer. With the passion of each, they created a place thoughtfully and passionately designed with a variety of materials and fabrics for your pleasure that still evolves in style and hospitality and always brings some new ideas from the world of "slowdown philosophy."

Slowdown value: The art of feeling at home

Not only the Spa, here all spaces are designed to offer a cozy corner to cultivate the time you spend away from your phone, the noise, and the everyday. Try and cultivate your moments, not using a phone. Keep your mind in the present moment and cultivate your inner strength of peace and calm.

Slowdown value: Value your free time

Their goal is to add value to your precious time so they created a place where even staying inside and around the hotel is a special experience. The spaces are like a reminder that even if you don't fill your day with activities, it's fine. This is just the start of a real slowdown. They have harmonized the hotel with nature to offer you a space to quiet the mind and to simply enjoy the beauty of life. Their interior is simply dedicated to providing you an all-round well-being.

The Dahòame Spa

Here you can learn to rest in Dahòame style. This is their Spa where you can feel the power of nature.In the Lana relaxation room, you will be introduced to the positive effect of wool, which is found here in combination with peat, willow bark, Swiss pine shavings, linen, and medicinal herbs.

The Hay Barn will give you the true hay experience, whereas the health-enhancing properties of Swiss pine wood are put to good use in the Cirmolo room.

If you want to feel like floating on clouds, you should retreat to the White Room: with no distraction whatsoever, it is the ideal place to read and chill out.

Slow sauna rituals

To cultivate a strong immune system, put your body to sweat in 5 different saunas and steam baths in their Spa area.

The Wood sauna “Wald” is the largest sauna, and its 85 °C is sure to make you sweat. The Barn sauna “Stadl”, too, heats up to 85 °C, and untreated barn wood was used to build it. Then there is The brine steam bath "Sole" with mountain salt, which is particularly good for your airways.

Slowdown value: Fiori sauna rituals

"Fiori sauna - where flowers play a role, and not just any flowers: The rose petals and herbs have been plucked at our Lechnerhof, and fill the sauna with a particularly lovely scent. ”

NEW

Wellness Suites

Welcome to the new world of Petrus. A world of private relaxation with exclusive "slowdown effect". Their new wellness suites.

C_Slowdown Hotels_HOTEL PETRUS_THE_INSIDER_2025219.jpg

Slowdown value: Soft as cloud

New suites are inspired by nature. Light colors, natural curves, and bright ambiance. We like the idea of the slowdown philosophy integrated into the rooms with lots of space, soft beds, baths placed in front of the window, and an integrated whirlpool bath on the balcony to cultivate your self-care rituals when you wish to spoil yourself with some personal peace & quiet time.

The new suites are in harmony with nature: the clay plaster used is free of artificial additives, has a moisture-balancing effect, and ensures a pleasant indoor climate thanks to its thermal mass.

BreakSLOW

This is the Petrus way to take a breakfast - SLOWLY. Take time and enjoy, taste and greet the morning with a healthy meal.

Slowdown value: BreakSLOW in the morning

 

In the morning, you take a seat and a selection of daily selected goods are stylishly served at the table for the BreakSLOW experience of the morning. But because why not, there is also a selection of fresh bread and a table full of goods for those with sweet tooth and a tea corner. It's all displayed not in a typical buffet style, but as a part of the breakSLOW experience, just like in a very stylish home.

The heart of the house - the food

The idea is to offer the guests the food that they themselves love most. Fresh, regional, healthy, and made by hand.

Slowdown value: Dahòame tastes -  A taste of home

We do as much as possible ourselves. Most of the ingredients used by our chef and his team grow in our own garden. When you grow plants with love, that love can also be tasted on the plate. If all ingredients and processes are made at home the taste must be delicious. This is the secret behind their Dahòame tastes, awarded by Gault & Millau.

All the ingredients they grow throughout the year are also carefully processed and turned into something delicious later. The kitchen team processes their fruit and vegetables, bakes bread and cakes, kneads pasta dough, and prepares vinegar.

Slowdown value: SymBIOsis.

The value of the garden and homegrown vegetables

 

The base for all the plates in Petrus is their own garden. The interaction between the garden and the kitchen works passionately because the father, Hans, is in constant contact with the kitchen team. "I tell them what is growing, and they tell me what they will need next." A functioning cycle can be that simple.

Summer

garden dinners

Spending time outside and feeling almost being at the seaside, this is their "slowdown effect" of the summer evenings. When gentle breeze from the mountains lowers the temperature and makes it a perfect summer dinner scene.

Slowdown value: Slow food experience in "Kaminstube"

Every Thursday they serve an exclusive 7-course menu by their head chef Hannes Baumgartner in their gourmet restaurant Kaminstube. On the menu are exclusively used products from the surrounding area from farms that they know well, so the restaurant is also a real insider tip for locals.

The White Room

A space to unwind the mind. Soft. Light flooded and calm. White room is available during the whole day for your yoga rituals.

Slowdown value: The Art of body movement

 

Take advantage of the hotel move and tone your body and then enjoy active regeneration and relaxation.  Sometimes the best relaxation is to do some sports. A perfect combination of putting the body to work and a relaxed mood will return your best well-being.

 

Here you won’t just train in a beautiful environment but also use aesthetically pleasing equipment. The equipment in the Wood & Water Gym is not just elegant and mainly made from wood, it also runs on water resistance which gives a pleasant feel during the exercise, a feel like exercising by the waves of the sea.
