“Pennystella” is a family-run complex of apartments and studios located on the beautiful island of Crete. Set on a cliff overlooking the cosmopolitan bay of Agia Pelagia, Pennystella Apartments can provide you a relaxing time away from all worries. Back in 1988 the first complex of Pennystella Apartments was created by Nicolas and Angela on this beautiful hilltop providing a breathtaking view of Agia Pelagia Cove. By 2003 there were 16 apartments and studios up the hill and 3 more in the heart of the village. The main facilities consist of two accommodation types, 10 apartments renovated in 2018 and 6 studios completed in 2013. All our rooms provide our guests with a fully equipped kitchenette with all the necessities, new comfortable mattresses, a private terrace or balcony with a beautiful sea view. Additionally, all the rooms have easy access to a swimming pool with pleasant cool waters and our traditional family tavern where Angela provides all her guests with freshly cooked meals and Nikolas oversees the drinks and the Barbeque nights!
Nikolas and Angela will be your main hosts in Pennystella and from time to time you may have the chance to meet other members of their family. Pennystella is their lifes' work and part of their legacy to their daughters Penny and Stella! They really love their guests and try really hard to keep everyone satisfied!
Agia Pelagia is a small coastal town with a lovely beach. The village offers just about anything you will need on your holidays and it is a 20-minute drive to the city of Heraklion, so you won’t miss anything. Even if you want to visit more of the Cretan island, having Agia Pelagia as your base gives you many possibilities due to its location. Surrounded by two smaller Coves, Lyrgaria and Mononaftis, and being close to the most famous places of interest like the Palace of Knossos, the El Greco Museum etc. Agia Pelagia is ideal for relaxing holidays in Crete.
