Our trip to Cartagena would not have been possible without Andrea, her staff, and this beautiful historic home. From giving us restaurant recommendations to booking our reservations, Andrea was so helpful! She even helped us book a private boat day and workout class. The home itself feels so intentional with art in every corner, relaxing hammocks, and scenic views. Carmelo, Muriel, Annita and all the staff were incredible, even walking us to a grocery store to make sure we had everything we needed. The food they cooked was delicious, I’m still thinking about the mini beef empanadas! I cannot recommend this place enough, we would LOVE to come back!

Incredible Stay in Cartagena

We had an amazing stay at Andrea's place in Cartagena. She was extremely helpful from the moment I booked our trip. We had a group of 11 girls in our early thirties and Andrea made the planning and the actual travel itself ver easy. With Andrea's recommendation, we decided to have several meals during our stay at the house and the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Her place is magical - you'll be lucky if you get to stay here!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home in the heart of the historic Old City. The layout across three levels offered stunning views from every landing and gave our group plenty of space to spread out comfortably.Andrea was an exceptional host—she made everything seamless by helping coordinate tours, transportation, and even grocery orders ahead of our arrival. Her attention to detail truly elevated the entire experience.The staff—Anita, Naira, Muriel, and Carmelo—were absolutely amazing. They felt like a second family to us and made our stay warm, welcoming, and effortless.The home was perfect for our group of 10, including 3 young children. We especially loved the indoor-outdoor living, and the kids were thrilled with the cats, lizards, and birds around the property. And the rooftop sunset views? Simply unforgettable.Highly recommend this home for anyone visiting Cartagena—especially for larger groups looking for a memorable and well-supported stay.

If you are coming to Cartagena—-do NOT look any further. There isn’t a better location, home, staff or owner. We felt so fortunate to have found Andrea and her team. You didn’t just find a great place to stay—-you found the best place and truly a person who wants you to learn about the city, relax and experience the best Cartagena has to offer. Andrea is an amazing person—-always available, always flexible and always wanting to help! She literally set up private boat, beach club excursions, rum and chocolate tasting, cooking and salsa classes and reservations for all dinner and lunches. They weren’t just good but great! And as things changed she always was willing to work with us before and throughout our stay! I want to shout it from the rooftop that she is the best! Her team of four—Carmelo, Muriel, Anita and Naira. They were always helpful (always with a smile!) Truly the food—breakfast and dinners—were great—-but no better Mojito and Guac!! The house was truly unique and lovely in all ways! The pool on the first floor was the perfect place to relax and get out of the heat. The rooftop is perfect for sunsets, quiet reading and family pictures. Really the house could be an art museum and yet made you feel at home! The balcony of the Master Bedroom was delightful each morning for coffee and reading! I could go on and on….there are not enough words of gratitude for Andrea, her amazing home and team! It was a perfect vacation! We would not stay any place else!

Perfect Historical House with so much charm

We had an absolutely incredible time. The historic home has beautiful outdoor spaces and courtyard style main areas with comfortable air conditioned bedrooms. The outdoor showers, multiple balcony sitting areas and pools allow a group to spread out and enjoy this historic and very conveniently located home in the heart of the old city. The in home cooked breakfasts and lunch were delicious. Would highly recommend adding that service. Andrea (homeowner) was immensely helpful with recommendations and coordinating the plans, too!

Most memorable family trip with adult children and 2 year old

We had our four adult children, their partners, and our grandson and it will probably be our most memorable family trips. We may have had a bit of a language barrier with our chef and staff but by day 3 we all got in a great rhythm for making our stay even that much better. They made our breakfasts daily, did any laundry and we so helpful even with a language barrier. Andrea our hostess made herself available weeks prior to our stay.

The property is striking, the city captivating, the staff warm and generous, and Andrea a wealth of assistance on things to do, restaurants, etc. Add on daily breakfast and some snacks/meals. Muriel makes the best ceviche and patacones in town! We had a birthday dinner one night that a 30-year old claims was " best ever!" complete with tres leches birthday cake.

Amazing Birthday Trip

This trip and home exceeded my expectations in every way. Planned a trip for 10 friends to celebrate a birthday. This home was perfect. Spectacular home - so unique and beautiful. Well located in Cartagena with a magnification view of the wall and sea. The home itself is spectacular. So artfully decorated, spacious and comfortable with so many areas for groups to gather. Staff was so attentive. Andrea was amazing and helped not only with all arrangements for the home but also planning other events in Cartagena including a beach day, catamaran boating day, cooking class, salsa class and even a live band and dinner at the house. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Cartagena itself is a magical town and staying at this wonderful home will make your stay even more memorable.

Wonderful Family Holiday in Cartagena

Wonderful home for a Holiday getaway to Cartagena. we have a family of 5 including 3 adult children so needed a place large enough for space for each but also central gathering space. The Home is beautiful, with space and charm on all the levels. we ended up spending most of our time on the ground floor open space and top floor overlooking the water. Andrea was a wonderful host, made sure we had transportation to the house, suggesting wonderful restaurant agenda / shopping for the experience. the staff (4 of them !) Carmelo, Muriel, Ciara and Anita were wonderful and took in stride my bad attempts at spanish. Would 100% return to this Casa if / when we return to Cartagena. BTW Colombians are wonderfully warm people and our visit made us want to visit more of the beautiful country. Steve C and family, Charlotte NC / NYC / Chicago USA

A lovely stay in Cartagena — stunning views and warm hospitality

Staying at this multi-story Colombian home in Cartagena for 10 days was a dream. Set along the sea wall, it offers breathtaking views—especially from the master bedroom, where sliding glass doors frame the ocean view.The first floor is striking, with soaring ceilings and artwork that gives the home both warmth and history—think Gabriel García Márquez meets Gauguin. A model boat in one of the main floor bedrooms adds a perfect maritime touch of Cartagena.The rooftop deck, with its small pool and open view of the sea, was our favorite place to unwind. There’s also a larger pool on the main level, complete with a Buddha statue, waterfall, and plenty of sunbeds—ideal for relaxing after exploring the walled city.Andrea and the house staff were exceptional. Mornings began with huevos pericos, arepas, toast, passion fruit and orange juice. The evening empanada gathering (which Andrea arranged), complete with a group salsa session, was a joyful highlight.This is more than a home—it’s an experience. Peaceful, vibrant, and full of heart. Don’t hesitate. Just book.

Amazing - Don’t overthink it

If it’s within your budget and available, book it. The home is beautiful - elegant, yet very comfortable and cozy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces for both congregating and also for spending time alone. It feels like someone’s lovingly cared for home, and not a vacation rental. The location is amazing- you are literally abutting the city walls and are facing the ocean. You can dip in the rooftop plunge pool or sit in the master bedroom hammock and look out over the ocean. The space is amazing, but what makes the property special is the ownership and staff. Andrea was a terrific host - perfect mix of welcoming and helpful but not pushy at all. She communicated quickly, arranged transportation, made us dinner reservations (at a popular place with limited availability) and generally looked out for us. The staff at the house was so warm and friendly while being very unobtrusive. Muriel made us fantastic breakfasts. Graciela , Anna, and Naira kept the space spotless and transformed the rooms from day (open, fans, lots of views) to night (turning the beds down and turning on the ACs) Carmelo kept the pools and public spaces impeccably clean. Tip. Consider tipping the staff at the end of your stay. Bottom Line: This place is amazing!

La Casa Que Besa El Mar

If you are staying in Cartagena, Colombia, and you wish to have an amazing experience (excellent amenities yet an authentic atmosphere), you can do no better than this property. In addition to the wonderful home, your host (Andrea) is extremely attentive and she is willing to assist with reservations (restaurant), activities or just about anything reasonable (she is complexity fluent in at least English and Spanish). Finally, the staff was incredible, friendly, efficient and nearly stealth while addressing all your needs. It was a great experience for my family and our friends.

From the first contact the host was warm and welcoming. So humble and kind I had no idea what an over-the-top amazing home I had rented. Even though I had seen the pictures I was still blown away upon arrival. The host was even kind enough to arrange for a van to pick us up at the airport. The staff was so thoughtful and attentive. Even though we arrived earlier than check-in time they had delicious home made ipanadas and fresh salsa and juice ready for our group. This level of service remained through the duration of our stay. One night we ordered food from the restaurant next door “palo santo” and the waiters delivered the food and served us at our dining table, completely unexpected! I would give the host, the staff, and the overall experience 10 stars if I could. I would only want to stay at this house when visiting Cartagena.

Magical stay in the Old City of Cartegena

My family (three grown children and wife) just returned from an amazing stay at Andrea's house. The location is perfect-literally across the street from the walls of the old city and with unparalleled views of the ocean from the roof and second floor deck. But the location is only a small part of what makes this place so unique. The entire house is laid out in such a way to create multiple open-air spaces with plenty of plants to bring the beauty of the city to the inside of the house. The artwork throughout the house is fantastic and one could spend hours just looking at the marvelous paintings, sketches and sculptures. The staff of the house could not have been nicer-they prepared amazing breakfasts for us as well as a couple of dinners. They never got in our way; we loved having them with us. Andrea is an amazing hostess. She made sure our trip was unforgettable in every way possible- we created a detailed itinerary for our stay, and she made all the necessary transportation and dinner reservations, including changing them to suit our needs. One of my sons had a passport issue that required him to return to the states and then come back with the correct documentation. Andrea kept an eye on him through her contacts at the airport, an act of kindness we will never forget. This was one of our best trips ever and we can't wait to return.

Meet Your Host – Andrea Villegas

Hello! I’m Andrea, your host at La Casa que Besa el Mar. I’m an interior designer with a deep love for travel, nature, and beautiful objects. Everywhere I go, I bring back treasures—pieces full of color, texture, and stories—which have helped shape the soul of this home. I also adore plants, and here you’ll find a small botanical garden lovingly cared for.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Why I Chose Cartagena

I chose this small corner of Cartagena , the old city, because it offers something rare: a perfect balance of safety, charm, History and vibrant life. This is a town where you don’t need a car—you can walk everywhere. The streets are full of energy, color, and history. You’ll find delicious restaurants, boutiques, and hidden gems, but the real beauty is simply in walking: strolling along the old city walls, watching the sunset, or sipping a cocktail or coffee in a lovely little café or plaza.
What I love most is living by the sea. It has always been a dream of mine to wake up with an ocean view, and now I do. Every morning, I’m greeted by the sound of the waves and the light off the water. And when I want to escape for a day, I can hop on a boat and, in less than an hour, I’m in the islands, surrounded by turquoise waters and white sand.
Is a beautiful life here in the old city of Cartagena



This is why I chose Cartagena—and why I feel so lucky to call it home.
