The hospitality of Zara is second to none. I mean we're talking European style graciousness. She was willing to accommodate an early check in if we needed it; and had wonderful cheese, wine and crackers when we finally did get there. The view from the house is exactly like the pictures -- utterly stunning-- during the day AS WELL AS the evening.
We were quite happy, but I must say this is not a place for people who want the small amenities with which we are accustomed. For example, there is no television. (There's one in a closet-- but we weren't about to set it up!!) This was a problem for us because we were there when the Tony awards were being broadcast and CBS wasn't streaming. Not sure my husband and I would have wanted to sit around his laptop and watched it anyway! Other small drawbacks include one small nightlight on one side of the bed-- so this meant if I wanted to read, I had to get up out of the bed, walk around it, to turn off the light. Not the biggest issue-- but still an inconvenience. Also the lack of outlets isn't helpful if one has a lot of computers, phones, iPads, etc to be charged.
But still, all in all, a spectacular view, an incredible host-- but not for those who wish a more modern and technologically savvy accommodation.
