Comodissimo hotel sul mare e ristorante molto buono. I proprietari si prodigano nell'organizzare escursioni e nell'assistenza alla clientela.

I proprietari sono stati gentili e disponibili e attenti su tutto! Organizzano qualsiasi tipo di escursione, affidatevi ai loro consigli e contatti per fare le gite! Miriam & Massimiliano hanno reso la nostra permanenza una favola! Ottima posizione, direttamente sul mare , casa tutta in stile zanzibarino.. io ho adorato ogni minimo dettaglio. Ambienti tutti curati e pulito ovunque. Camere spaziose con letto comodo con zanzariere, lenzuola morbide, bagno funzionale con prodotti e biancheria da bagno . Aria condizionata, frigobar e bollitore x caffè o tisana. Colazione servita dalle 7.30 alle 10.00 e’ a buffet tra dolce e salato tutto fatto in casa , brioches pane , torte , crostata , uova , salumi , latte cereali … praticamente di tutto .
Il personale gentilissimo, i camerieri Lina e Nicolas sempre sorridenti e gentili… ma tutto lo staff stupendo per rendere questo posto un paradiso .
Abbiamo cenato al ristorante tutte le sere perché abbiamo optato per la mezza pensione.. non potevamo che fare una scelta così azzeccata! Tutto buonissimo , ravioli con ripieno Dorado sono rimasti nel cuore!
Lettino e ombrellone a disposizione degli ospiti, nella parte privata della spiaggia che si affaccia sulla distesa di Matamwe. E’ soggetta alle maree ma ogni giorno sulla lavagnetta sono indicati gli orari . Di fronte c’è la barriera corallina e potete fare snorkling o andare a cercare le stelle marine!
Non sarei più andata via!

What an absolutely delightful place to call home for a few days! We were looking for a restful spot on a quiet beach after our safari and this was it. The building itself is fascinating….lots of history within, unique and quirky and has everything you need and more. Our rooms were comfy and clean and the balcony in each room overlooking the beach was great. Massi and Miria are the perfect host…there when you need them with answers to all your questions. All staff were so kind and friendly…restaurant staff with whom we interacted the most were the best. The daily breakfast had a perfect selection of continental and hot options. And a juice with fruit and avocado that I wish I could have bottled and brought back home. We ate all three dinners there and they were out of this world (I’m running out of superlatives to describe our stay!). With Massi’s obvious influence they were all traditional Italian. Four amazing courses each night and only $20 USD per person. Worth so much more. I wholeheartedly recommend Zanzibar House as a perfect place to stay for a beach break. Suggest taking the taxi service offered on their site as we chose not to and our cab driver had difficulty locating it. With the help of a kind local on a motorbike however, we did. Thank you Massi and Miria.

So friendly to children, all local staff are so warm and geniue
On the beach or in the pool!
Beautiful interior
Not dislike, but we 2+2 kids did feel limited in the facing palm forest room. Next time we would check carefully the size and layout
Left early in the morning around 8, no-one said bye to us

A Swahili House as the owner describes it…stunning decor and very practical indeed. Very quiet all times, good location and a magnificent stretch of sand. Breakfast has all that you may desire

Beautiful little family run place, the perfect home from home feeling. They have lots of lovely small touches to add to the charm like an evening turn down service. It's such a warm, friendly place but with nothing pushy for tours/food etc. I loved it, have recommended to many friends already!

If you just want to relax, this is the place to be. Not much around but an amazing beach, nice chilled pool and good beach beds to spend the day. Friendly staff taking care of you and excursions if you want to.
The food was pretty good. We booked the place with breakfast and dinner included.
Breakfast was good even though some variety might have been great.
Dinner was great and substantial - 4 courses every night of great local/ Italian food.
The best of the restaurant is, Elena!! Great service and a great smile.
At the time there were some issues with the water supply but this was not something that would us no recommending the place.
As mentioned before: a bit more variety in breakfast offerings would be great.

Everything is perfect in Zanzibar house. And I mean it. There are so many little details that makes you feel like at home. You feel most welcome. it is real paradise on earth. There are not enough words to describe it- go and feel I yourself. I was so amazed. The pictures don’t show the real beauty of this place.
I had booked it only for one night. It means, I need to come back❤️They should have 10 stars already❤️

Great with a choise of american stile and continental buffet. A real family run resort with only 7 rooms and no rush. You can walk straight from your bed in the morning and 50 meters, you are swimming in the Indian Ocean. So cool.
Nothing at all not to like.
10.0
A wonderful place and tranquil hideaway with respect for traditional architecture and the comforts of modern living. The staff is exceptionally sweet and caring and Maxi, the owner and his wife lives here themselves and they are doing their utmost to ensure a wonderful stay for all visitors and succeeding very much at this :-)
Chairs on the balcony to the rooms are a bit to upright for my taste, but the hanging chairs are super !

I spent a total of 17 days in Zanzibar house on a solo vacation. I highly recommend this hotel. It’s a great place to relax and the location on the beach is just exquisite. The hospitality from the staff was fantastic, they were well mannered and catered to my needs. I was also moved by the kindness of Max and Mariam, they were very kind to me when I fell ill during my holiday. I can’t say enough of how much I enjoyed my time there.

This place is my "coup de coeur". Loved it My little home away from home
Mariam the owner her husband, their son, the staff (nicolas and all the others) were simply the best.
Wish I would have stayed longer. Missed it the moment I arrived in PAje.
The room, the hotel decoration and architecture is AMAZING!
they have only 8 rooms which makes it cozy but the rooms are huge and well equipped, you even have your own hamac or chair. It is so comfortable. Amazing to relax.
I also dived with them as Francesco the son has an agency and all went well.
I had breakfast and dinner included and OMG, the food is fresh and sooo good: tuna, octopus, fresh fish, fresh pasta, cheesecake... They don't kid with the food and it is sooooo sooo good.
The beach is just at the exit of the hotel, literraly you step out and you are on the beach.
The photos do not do justice to the atmosphere.
Thank you to all for making my stay incredible, definitively will be coming back!

Great place to if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful stay. Good service and easy going. We had half-board and he food was more than enough. Pasta and fish was amazing. Location is great with a beautiful beach right on the doorstep.
It is isolated so day trips are required if you would like to explore outside the area.

Zanzibar House is a gem of a little hotel tucked away on a quiet stretch of beach near Matemwe.

Wonderful place, owners and staff ! the hotel was clean, had a real sea view room with a lovely terrasse and suspended rocking chair; absolutely amazing to chill after a relaxing beach day ! the hotel is small and has a very chill vibe, which was perfect for me as I was looking to relax. The owners are very attentive and created incredible Italian meals with seafood as well (USD 15). The staff is so very nice and looking for your every need ! I had a much needed massage and encourage everyone to get one, as you are rocked by the sound of the ocean all the while.
You will not be disappointed, it is a really good price for this incredible quality !
Many many thanks Zanzibar House ! I will surely come back and am 100% recommending this lovely hotel :)))
Nothing comes to mind !
