The Space

Ivy House was designed for groups who want to experience Cartagena from the center of it all, while still enjoying the privacy and comfort of a full private villa. The property sits on a prime corner in the heart of the Old City, giving guests immediate access to the restaurants, bars, cafés, plazas, nightlife, shopping, and historic landmarks that make Cartagena so special.

Inside, Ivy House combines private hotel-style bedrooms with large shared spaces for relaxing, dining, celebrating, and enjoying time together. It is ideal for groups who want to stay under one roof without sacrificing personal space, comfort, or service.

The rooftop is one of the main highlights of the villa, with a private pool, BBQ, bar area, lounge seating, and views toward Cartagena’s cathedral. It is perfect for daytime lounging, sunset drinks, private dinners, or gathering as a group before going out.

The villa also offers comfortable common areas, a full kitchen, and 12 private bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.

Bedrooms

Ivy House has 12 private bedrooms with queen or king beds. Each room includes:

Air conditioning
Ensuite bathroom
Soundproofing
Smart TV
Room safe
Digital room lock
Comfortable bedding
Hotel-style privacy

This setup works especially well for large groups because guests can enjoy the energy and convenience of the Old City, then return to their own private room and bathroom inside the villa.

Bathrooms

The villa has 14 bathrooms total, including 12 ensuite bathrooms connected to the bedrooms, plus additional common-area bathrooms.

This is a major advantage for groups because guests do not need to share limited bathrooms, making the stay more comfortable and practical for families, celebrations, wedding groups, bachelor and bachelorette trips, and friends traveling together.

Rooftop & Pool

The rooftop is one of Ivy House’s strongest selling points. Guests can enjoy a private rooftop pool, BBQ, bar area, lounge seating, and beautiful views over the Old City.

It is ideal for relaxing during the day, gathering before dinner, having drinks at sunset, or hosting a private chef or BBQ experience. After enjoying the city, the rooftop gives your group a private place to come back together and continue the experience at the villa.

Staff & Service

Your stay includes:

24-hour butler service
Daily cleaning
Continental breakfast

The butler can assist with property access, basic guest support, and coordination during the stay. Additional concierge services can also be arranged upon request, including airport transfers, private chef, restaurant reservations, boat days, beach clubs, nightlife, and local experiences.

Guest Access

Guests have private access to the entire villa, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, kitchen, rooftop pool, BBQ area, bar, lounge spaces, and common areas.

The property is rented as a private villa, so your group will not share the space with other guests.

Location

Ivy House is located on a prime corner in the very center of Cartagena’s Old City — the kind of location that is difficult to recreate. This is one of the property’s strongest advantages.

The neighborhood is lively, walkable, and surrounded by the best of Cartagena. Guests can step outside and walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, cafés, plazas, boutiques, nightlife, historic landmarks, rooftop lounges, and tour meeting points.

For groups, this location makes the entire stay easier. Everyone can enjoy the city independently, meet back at the villa easily, and avoid needing transportation for every plan. It gives guests the full Cartagena experience right outside the door, with the comfort of returning to a private 12-bedroom villa.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Durda

Host profile image
I’m originally from Canada and have spent many years building businesses in Cartagena, including hospitality, restaurants, and local experiences. What I enjoy most about hosting is helping guests experience the best of the city in a way that feels easy, comfortable, and memorable.

With Ivy House, my goal was to create a place where groups can stay together in the heart of Cartagena while still enjoying privacy, service, and hotel-style comfort. I know how important location, safety, cleanliness, communication, and convenience are when traveling with a large group, so we designed the property and service around making the stay as smooth as possible.

I love Cartagena for its energy, history, food, music, architecture, and Caribbean lifestyle. Hosting gives me the chance to share that experience with guests and help them enjoy the city from one of its best locations.

Why they chose this property

TI chose this neighborhood because Ivy House is right in the heart of Cartagena’s historic walled city, one of the most beautiful and walkable areas in Colombia. The streets are filled with colorful Spanish colonial architecture, balconies covered in flowers, lively plazas, churches, restaurants, cafés, bars, boutiques, and historic monuments.

I chose this neighborhood because Ivy House is located on a prime corner in the very center of Cartagena’s historic walled city — truly in the middle of everything. I often describe it as Cartagena’s version of Times Square: lively, central, walkable, and surrounded by the energy of the city.

The streets around Ivy House are filled with Spanish colonial architecture, colorful balconies, plazas, churches, restaurants, cafés, bars, boutiques, nightlife, and historic landmarks. Guests can step outside and immediately feel the charm and excitement of Cartagena.

What I enjoy most is how easy everything is from this location. You can walk to dinner, rooftop bars, plazas, shopping, nightlife, and tour meeting points within minutes. You also have the Caribbean islands just a short boat ride away, giving guests the best of both worlds: the history and culture of the Old City, plus easy access to the water and island experiences.

For groups, this neighborhood is ideal because everyone can enjoy the city independently and still meet back at the villa easily. It gives guests the full Cartagena experience right outside the door.

What makes this property unique

Ivy House is unique because it combines a rare 12-bedroom private villa with one of the most central locations in Cartagena’s Old City. The property sits on a prime corner in the middle of everything, giving guests immediate access to the restaurants, bars, plazas, nightlife, shops, cafés, and historic landmarks that make Cartagena special.

Inside the villa, guests have the comfort and privacy of a full private home with the feel of a boutique hotel. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, allowing large groups to stay together while still having personal space and comfort.

The rooftop is another highlight, with a private pool, BBQ, lounge areas, and views over the Old City and cathedral. It is perfect for relaxing during the day, enjoying sunset drinks, or gathering as a group before going out.

What makes Ivy House truly stand out is the full combination: 12 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, rooftop pool, 24-hour butler service, daily cleaning, continental breakfast, soundproofing, air conditioning, Smart TVs, digital room locks, room safes, and a location that cannot be recreated. Guests get the privacy of a villa, the service of a boutique hotel, and the energy of Cartagena right outside the door.
