Thank you for everything, Hope to see you again next year😁🤗

Beuatifully designed rooms with or without kitchen available. Bathroom and kitchen are small but just fine. If you want to enjoy Paje on budget, this is a very nice option! There is also a restaurant within the residence. If you love italian food, you should defenately give it a try.

We stayed one week at Gadea in October 2022 and really enjoyed it! The hotel is very close to the beach. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, and we really loved to stay in the common areas with the nice swimming pool. The owners are really nice and there is a relaxed atmosphere. and the staff were really amazing. The breakfast is amazing - with fresh chapati, different types of jams, fruits, oney, and much more. Highly recommended!

Probably the best restaurant in Jambiani. Nice hotel / restaurant. Fresh food, nice service. Quality / price .. 💥💌 I hope for you that you’ll try this place. ————- Super restaurant, probablement un des meilleurs de Jambiani. L’hôtel est charmant et le staff est à la hauteur d’un service familiale et professionnel. Félicitation !

Beautiful ravioli ! But, no pizza on their menu. We had the white wine which was good and a fresh juice. A bit pricey, but to be expected compared to the surrounding alternatives. Lovely atmosfeer and good service. Had no space left to try the terrimasu, so will definitely have to go back.

We staid here for 3 weeks in July 2022 and had a great time. I was in need for a last minute room and Annalisa could help out very fast! The room was very nice and had everything you need… comfy bed, little kitchen, small shower. Very pleasant is the Italian restaurant, which serves great food, also for vegetarians! Annalisa is always there to help in any situation and we felt very welcome. The staff is from the village itself and a great way to support locals and interact with them and their culture! No plastic water bottles are also a great contribution to being more eco friendly! Only if you don’t like cats, this might not be the place for you. 😅 Would always go back! Great place, great people ❤️

Stayed here for 5 nights and really glad I picked this place - we had a wonderful stay! After researching a lot of places around the Jambiani area (and reading many reviews here) i finally decided on Residence Gadea, and so glad I did. The whole place is good quality, beautifully decorated with lots of unique touches, which makes it feel so homely. There is a restaurant on the first floor and a smallish pool. It is literally 1 minute’s walk to the beach. We had a 2-bedroom apartment which had a well-equipped kitchenette, air con and a safe. The beds were comfy and it was quiet at night. (Of course, with Zanzibar being a Muslim island you start to hear the call to prayer from the local mosques at around 4.30am.) Although the bathroom was small, the water was hot and pressure was good. Huge bath towels and extra towels for the pool/beach also provided. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day. The place is owned by a lovely Italian couple, and their staff are all locals. They were all so friendly, helpful and provided a really high standard of service. The food and drinks in the restaurant were fantastic. Many Italian dishes and also some local dishes on offer, with great seafood too. Good wine list of Italian wines and fab cocktails (we recommend the Martini Mojito!). And I have to mention the cats - we counted at least 5 of them in residence, and it was nice to see them around the place. Kibiriti, the cheeky little ginger one, is fond of jumping on to your lap or onto the chair you're sitting on. We loved that, but if you don't like cats or are allergic to them, this wouldn't be the place for you. Jambiani is a small local village and so there aren’t many ‘touristy’ things to do, however the hotel can book full day and half day trips to different places of interest. All in all we had a wonderful stay, and would highly recommend this place.

LONG POST ALERT... The biggest crooks in Zanzibar are running a shady accommodation in Jambiani with completely fake profiles up-selling what they offer on different platforms like Airbnb and ***********. Here is what we really found on ground after we fell for their trap via Airbnb. The first room they offered is the tiniest garage like room you can imagine without windows. They manage to squeeze a 1.5mx1.5m kitchen and bathroom of the same measurement within this tiny space. The first thing you see when you lie on the bed is a ceiling fan right on top of you, seemingly a disaster waiting to happen. Right behind this room a building site. The tiny garage room opens right up to the swimming pool so since you have to leave your doors open to avoid suffocation, everyone chilling at the pool has a full view of your room. This room is $77 a night. We had paid for 6 nights and couldn't even imagine spending 1 night here. We expressed our concerns to the host and she happily offered to give us a "bigger-better" room with a splendid view of a large gray wall, no mosquito net, no electricity (even though they say they have a generator in their listings), the door couldn't lock, many cats and cat hair all over the place, no water pressure in showers, gloomy service.....the list goes on and on. It's also many miles away from main town to get cooking supplies but they mention they are a walkable distance from the supermarket. Obviously the host sensed that we were not happy with the accommodation and made sure not to be available the next morning leaving behind her partner who either didn't understand English or pretended not to understand. He declined to refund us for remaining 5 nights and asked us to request Airbnb for a refund. We checked into another hotel and we're informed that they had received a guest from gadea previously with the same issues
