The administrator and three service people will take care of all your need'. Our concierge can provide you with everything: a babysitter, a chef, a boat to go to the Rosario islands (40 min.). You will only have to ask. The cook will be able to cook typical dishes of the local gastronomy and the maid will keep the house clean.

Oasis to come home to
My family and friends (a total of 12 people) stayed here for Christmas and New Years. Cartagena is a bustling little city at that time Quite often an overload to the senses. So to ring the doorbell and have Hernando (the house manager) greet us after every excursion was a breath of fresh air. Physically, the house is magnificent. The luxury of having a bathroom for each of the six bedrooms was very appreciated. Lots of closet space, comfortable beds and a/c in each. The common areas are huge and well laid out. It’s stunning to sit in the downstairs (yes there are two) living room to gaze at the grotto all the way through to the swimming pool. A gorgeous old palm tree is the focal point of the courtyard. The house has been updated (many times in 300 years) but the “feel” is still of an authentic grand casa. We cooked several dinners at home and the kitchen is well stocked and roomy. But I have saved the best for last. It’s the staff who are the stars. Hernando (Nando), Veronica and Yoli are the warmth and charm and professionalism you can only wish for. They are here every day, but always in the background. Their breakfasts amazing! They make you feel like it’s your home. I must mention Guidobruno the owner. He was exceptionally good to communicate with. We are sad to go, but since we have enjoyed every minute of being here, are grateful for what we had. This place has our full recommendation to others that want to enjoy it. We are jealous!

Host profile image
My wife and I like to consider ourselfs as citizens of the world. We love travelling, knowing people, taste new foods and we really appreciate new cultures.
I love taking pictures to stop those precious moments within our experiences.
My wife likes to know people and make new and different friendships.

Why they chose this property

We discovered Cartagena by chance and we fell in love with the people and the city. We live here with great pleasure various months per year and we are really happy when we can share this experience with friends or guests. Colombia unfortunately has a very bad fame, but this regards only a very small part of it. The great majority of the country and its people is beautiful and very welcoming.
If you read "100 years of solitude" when young you will be surprised to find out that Gabriel Garcia Marquez didn't put any fantasy in his book he merely described what happened and happens even today in Cartagena. You will find the improbable names, absurd situations, unbelievable places he described.
You will find yourselfs in the magic of the Pearl of the Caribbean, you will be caught by the slow motion of life and the heat will surround you.
By a white Panama hat and you'll be in another era.

What makes this property unique

Buying our house was a" coup de foudre". We saw it in 2007 and immediately decided to buy it. It has been restored with all our love and with a total respect of the characteristics and materials of 3 centuries ago. Starting 2008 we came to Cartagena more and more. Now we are travelling and spend more ore less 6 months in our beautiful house.
Our porter can find you almost everything: a baby sitter, a chef, a boat for a trip to the Rosario Islands (40 min). Just ask him. Don't trust anybody offering you services in the streets.
