We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cartagena! The property was very clean and well maintained, and the location couldn’t have been better. It’s centrally located—just a short distance to the historic town, great shopping, the beach, and the port where you can easily catch water transportation to explore other islands. There’s also a grocery store nearby, which made everything super convenient.Alan and Raymundo, who manage the property, were wonderful. They were attentive, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Alan made the best coffee every morning, which was such a great touch, and he had excellent recommendations for tours, shopping, and dining.Overall, a great experience from start to finish!

We had a great time in Cartagena, largely because of this beautiful property and our hosts Alan and Ramundo, who were attentive to our every need. Our accommodations were excellent and as advertised. We did not realize how much we would come to appreciate the local insights and assistance we'd receive along the way, and I am confident we were able to enjoy more of the experience as a result. Thank you, Alan and Ramundo!

A beautiful very well appointed house with center courtyard and small pool for cooling off in the heat and a rooftop area to watch the fire works of NYE. Proprietor was very helpful in walking us through the old city and making recommendations for activities. If you don't like a person living in the space, being present at all times to open the door etc-this is not for you. But if you are comfortable with that you get the bonus of having someone to make you breakfast in the morning and make sure all is secure at night. If a light bulb goes out, he is there to fix it. Very comfortable areas for family to gather and visit or get away on the roof. Our grandchildren ages 4 and 8 found this place to be very comfortable and staff very attentive.

Without a doubt this was one of the coolest properties I've ever stayed at. The location was quite nice, there were comfortable beds and my favorite, hammocks on the roof! But what really made this place special was how great Alan and Charlie were - they took care of us and were always on the spot. 5 Star service!

If you want to see what living in the the "Old Town" of Cartagena is like this is the place for you. The house itself was stunning, authentically modernized and so very comfortable. The staff was first rate, going out of their way to help us find our way around the city and, suggesting special activities. They took great care of us (including waiting for us at the front door every evening when we came home), recommending restaurants, etc. I'd recommend this home to everyone.

I had the pleasure of staying at this place with 10 of my friends during our time in Cartagena. It is a beautiful spot thats kept in prestine condition and is well located to some of the popular spots in the city without it being to busy. The in-house staff, Alan and Raymond were so kind and accommodating and truly went above and beyond, helping us with booking a private boat tour, giving us great food recommendations, making us breakfast and drinks, and making us feel secure during our stay. I've never experienced this level of hospitally in any of my travels, this place is truly a gold standard.

Authentic Colombian Stay

Loved everything about our stay at this authentic casa colombiana. This home was perfect for a family wedding weekend. We were a group of 8. Everyone had their bedroom and private bath. The home has a butler and a cook too!! We picked up some groceries at the Éxito around the corner and the cook made breakfast and a special secret recipe coffee. We also had maid service everyday. We felt safe and comfortable. Thank you to the staff of this lovely home!

Absolutely Perfect

Gorgeous Colonial house in the heart of old Cartagena. Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped from the peaceful courtyard and plunge pool to the rooftop terrace. The house staff, Alan, Raimundo, and Liliana were unobtrusive but always there to take care of us, making drinks, doing laundry, arranging outings--even guiding us to our destinations. We celebrated Thanksgiving and a birthday here, and could not have been happier.

We were two families traveling with teenagers and one toddler. The location is ideal to get the most out of Cartagena and its surroundings. We could walk to every restaurant and the most vibrant part of town, yet the rooms were quiet enough at night. Alan, the house manager, can arrange anything from dinner to boat trips. I just wish I knew this in advance, but we are also good travelers and have planned our trip pretty much on our own. That said, Alan had great advice during our stay and great tips to navigate a new country for us (like which ATM to use for the best exchange rate).One small downside of the house is that I would not recommend if you have very small kids (under 3). There are a lot of stairs. We managed with our 3 (almost 4) year old, but just be mindful of that.The pool was a perfect feature to cool down after exploring the town or even after a full day at the beach.Again, perfect stay, and would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay in Cartagena

Our group of 5 couples stayed at the house from Feb 8-15, 2025. The house has 5 bedrooms each with attached bathrooms. The location of the house was very good and very convenient on a quiet street but walkable to everything, including a large supermarket and a shopping mall with many restaurants.We had a wonderful experience. The staff of three people headed by Alan Moore, were extremely responsive to our needs. Alan in particular was great, spoke very good English and walked with us on touring the city, to buy groceries, and shopping etc. We were served hot breakfast of our choice every morning. We certainly recommend this house to anyone planning to visit Cartagena and looking for a house to stay. Highly recommended!!!

Loved our stay here!

My son was getting married in Cartagena and we wanted a place for the family. This was the perfect place. There were 5 bedrooms each with their own bath. The courtyard has a small pool that kept my 6 yr old granddaughter happy, and plenty of room for the adults to visit. But the highlight of this vrbo was Alan, who was always ready for our every need. He helped us negotiate with the taxi drivers since we didn’t speak Spanish, order our food, pick up our food, and even walked us to an emerald jewelry store!! He made the place! As did Reymond, and the housekeeper!! Always smiling ready to help out! And the location was excellent and within walking distance to everything !
