In order to explore the immediate surrounding areas of PDE we decided to stay in La Barra rather than in PDE itself. Based on reviews and travel guides we decided to stay at Casa Zinc. We did not regret. From the moment we arrived at the property we felt it was the right choice. The Posada is designed in a... More

We stayed at Casa Zinc for 3 nights only during our Easter Break from Sao Paulo. If you are tired of the normal big chain business hotels, then this is the best retreat you will have during your stay in Uruguay! Casa Zinc is a beautiful property. Spacious, well-designed rooms with plenty of natural light and superb attention to detail... More

We have spent three nights in Casa Zinc in the Architects room. Very cute decor, great attention to detail! The owner is a very talented architect who does his own furniture as well as building projects. He was more then helpful in telling us all about the surrounding and giving us great recommendations about where to eat, what to see,... More

Casa zinc is beautiful! The rooms are so well designed, clean and the bed is amazing. Breakfast was lovely, we got a little tired of the same thing after 6 days but it was still nice. The owner was really helpful and all the staff very friendly. Definitely stay here if you want to avoid the high rises of Punta... More

Really cool small house - with a wonderful staff. The owner Aaron knows everything about the area and will give great recommendations for dining and touring. We loved having bicycles available to get around but ended up walking everywhere mostly. Restaurants in the area we tried were Pura Vida and Baby Gouda- both were excellent! The town is a perfect...

We spent three of the best nights of our honeymoon Casa Zinc. The house is expertly decorated in an antique, rustic, shabby chic motif that feels warm and welcome. All of the staff offered great suggestions on beaches and restaurants in the area. While it is not beachside, it is a short walk to the main stretch of shops, bars,... More

Casa Zinc was such a find, we extended our stay until the very last day of our honeymoon. The place, the decor, the impeccable service ( Stephanie and Victoria) was a cut above most 5 stars. The owner, Aaron Hojman, is a charming person, who happens to be blessed with superb taste, contacts, and the capacity to bring things to... More

Nestled on a quiet side road off the main highway through La Barra, Casa Zinc is a designer's dream. Aaron, his wife and his wonderful staff take great care of guests, offering endless advice on how to best enjoy Uruguay. The posada is very beautiful, filled with antiques from Aaron's store down the street. The rooms are large enough, the... More
