“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-

Wood, wool, and herbs

 

Slowdown value: ​ To rest in Dahòame style. This is their Spa where you can feel the power of nature. 

​

​The experience begins with a gentle slowing down, inviting a transition from the fresh mountain air and outdoor activity into calm, restorative indoor spaces. Soft lighting and natural materials like clay walls and wood create a warm, grounding atmosphere.

 

Guests are encouraged to mentally disconnect, often settling in with a cup of tea, quiet moments, or relaxation areas. The essence of this ritual is simple: a shift from doing to being.

Slowdown value: ​ Stimulate your senses. Take off your shoes and feel different surfaces in Petrus Dahome Spa.

​

You will find different textures and spots in their Spa which works as a reflexology.

It’s beneficial because it helps stimulate the body’s natural balance. By activating these reflex points, reflexology can support circulation, encourage the flow of energy, and help the body function more efficiently. 

​

One of the biggest benefits is when you walk barefoot on different surfaces which sends a signal the nervous system to slow down, shifting the body out of “stress mode” and into a calmer, restorative state. This can lower stress levels, ease muscle tension, and promote a sense of overall well-being.

Restorative spaces.

Slowdown value: Sauna rituals​

 

A core part of the Petrus wellness philosophy is the alternation of heat and cooling. Saunas and steam baths, including the Turkish bath, help cleanse the body and open the pores, while infrared cabins in some suites provide gentle, deep muscle relaxation. These warming experiences are followed by cooling phases such as refreshing showers, exposure to fresh air, or quiet rest. This cycle supports improved circulation, detoxification, and a deep relaxation of the nervous system.

 

"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 Well-being Suites

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

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

experience - 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: 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.

​

Slowdown value: Dahòame tastes

-  A taste of home, but upgraded

​

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.

Slowdown value: 

​​Experience the art of being pampered with our 3/4 board, where every day brings a little moment of indulgence.

​

In the afternoon, enjoy our traditional light lunch, Marende — a comforting vegetable soup, fresh salad picked from our garden, and a delightful selection of homemade cakes and sweet desserts.

Simple, seasonal, and lovingly prepared, every bite invites you to slow down, savour the moment, and enjoy the pleasure of doing nothing at all.

Because true luxury is found in the little things.

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.
