Cartagena Birthday trip

It began before check in, it was easy checking it once we arrived. The host of the property was very helpful in providing details on how to get around in the Old City as well as outside of the city. The host also provided a delicious breakfast daily this was an amazing place to stay!

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.

Fantastic Property

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.

Exceeded our expectations - Gold Standard Hospitality

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. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Catagena and will definitely be staying here again next time I visit!

Perfect Cartagena Vacation!

What a beautifully appointed, well situated spot for a Cartagena vacation! We can honestly say that our group of 8 (family and friends) were completely satisfied: the property and staff truly exceeded our expectations. Beyond the close proximity to all areas of the walled city, Alan and Reymundo were great hosts, attentive and courteous in every respect. Cannot recommend enough.

Very unique and amazing place!

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!

Wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful visit to Cartagena and it was made even more special through the attention of Alan and Raymundo, the hosts of the property. We were an extended family of diverse ages, and It seemed that our every whim was accommodated with grace and charm. The house is as beautiful as pictured and the location is great. Many thanks for helping make it a truly relaxing vacation for all of us!

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!

Great wealth of knowledge, able to assist with booking reservations, and took care of us while at the house. Incredible people, and a would highly recommend staying here.

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!!!

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.

3 generations, perfect vacation spot!

We are a family of 5 and met grandparents and great aunts at this lovely property, 9 of us for nine days. It was the perfect place for our group, which ranged from 7-95 years old. Our hosts were fantastic every day and so helpful. Our flight arrived early morning and Alan helped us get to the property, store our bags, and find a great place to have breakfast and wander the city until the house was ready. Breakfasts by Alan was a perfect daily ritual and we enjoyed the slow mornings together. Raymundo and Alan were attentive to every need. Lilian was there to clean each morning and the house remained spotless. Everyone was so kind and made us feel welcome and secure. Alan gave us recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and more. Raymundo was very attentive to our older travelers. We had a few special requests and they made them happen seamlessly! The pool, though small, was the perfect place for my 3 kids to cool off and play. This was an incredibly special family trip for us and the home, and especially our hosts, made it perfect! We made many lifelong memories in beautiful Cartagena. Also a perfect location. After visiting other areas inside the walled city, we were glad we stayed here!

Lovely villa — just not ideal for us.

The property and staff were wonderful, but we were a family planning to stay over Christmas. We ended up leaving two days early because (1) there was no place with air conditioning that we could gather as a group— only the bedrooms had AC and the public areas were hot, humid and a bit buggy — and (2) we were never alone in the house. The three staff were fantastic, but we wanted some family time and that wasn’t really possible. We weren’t permitted to have a key and so had to knock to be let in regardless of the hour. So, again, a lovely property with a very pleasant team, but not the right fit for our family Christmas.

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 !

A trip to remember

/We had planned this trip to Cartagena for two years despite the pandemic. I selected this property because it met my criteria of being within the old historic city, modern conveniences, and a feel of Colombia. What closed the deal were the rave reviews about the “concierge” Alan Moore aka James Bond! Simply put he helped take a great trip to magical.I am not going to repeat other’s comments. In our case Alan became part of our family and he shared many restaurant meals with us. Alan has travelled the world and is able to converse on myriad subjects. A true Renaissance man. It helps if you can speak and understand a bit of Spanish.
