Response from the owner Thank you for the lovely review! We are pleased that you enjoyed the services of our new host, Anna and her fabulous team of 6 years, Chef Abedi and housekeeper Mama Sherry. I hope you enjoyed the Swahili cooking lessons and Chef's Spice demonstrations! We believe that Chef is the first in the link to your cultural journey in Zanzibar! Although dedicated WiFi, signals are subject to Service providers, usually the upstairs part of the Villa provides a good signal. In future, we will provide guests with a local sim card and they can enjoy 3G. Having that said, we do agree, focus on that spectacular ocean view...the kids playing football on the beach, the odd cow walking past and the beautiful dhows sailing by or stop to chat to a fishermen at dawn, buy fresh fish off the beach! We hope that you will visit us again in the near future as we enjoyed taking care of you and your family in Saffron Beach Villa!
