Otel The Pendeli

Platres at 1200 metres above sea level amidst a forest of fragrant pines, in the heart of the Troodos Mountains, is Cyprus' most popular mountain resort. Looking down towards the southern coast of the island it provides a welcoming retreat from the busier coastal resorts and is an ideal base from which to explore the region.The family run Pendeli Hotel located in the heart of the beautiful mountain resort of Platres amidst a forest of fragrant pines, offers traditional Cypriot hospitality in combination with modern facilities. The hotel has been in the Panayides family since the 1940's when the hotel began as a country house letting rooms. Through the years more rooms were added as well as a restaurant and a tea room. In 1992 after a complete rebuilding where nothing of the old building remained except the pine trees that now shade the gardens the hotel reopened its doors as a 3 star property. The hotel prides itself in providing comfort without extravagance, and the management now in the hands of the 3rd generation of hoteliers, a Cornell University graduate.There are 81 guestrooms, including three suites and seven junior suites. All guest-rooms are tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and equipped with central heating, ceiling fan, fitted carpet, a three-piece bathroom, colour television, direct dial telephone, hair dryer, clock radio and private balcony, most overlooking the valley and the surrounding countryside.
