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!

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

Great time we enjoyed our stay

We had great time at Cartagena. Alan (Property care taker) is very good and present all times of your need. He is always available to provide support during stay. We explored many areas and restaurants and island. House is located into City and very convenient location and walking distance to most of the places.

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!

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!

Incredible trip. The house is exactly as it is described and shown in the photos. Alan and the staff were an amazing addition to our trip. They took care of all our needs during the time there. 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. Great location to the mall, bars, and restaurants. Will definitely be visiting again and staying at this property.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing Stay in Cartagena Colombia

We booked this property for a group trip (7 adults, ages 25-30) celebrating a birthday. Not only is the property in a prime location of the old city close to the supermarket, street food vendors, shops and the mall. It’s a beautiful home with tons of space, a nice pool, rooftop with great view that felt super secure and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was definitely the amazing property manager Alan and Raymundo his assistant. They were friendly, cool and helped us book activities (boat ride and photographer), dinner reservations, gave directions and walked us there when it was close. They helped the cleaning staff with property upkeep and upon request got us breakfast, lunch and dinner from local places. Their presence was a huge difference in making the trip a success and made us feel like we were truly at home. We will definitely look to stay here again next time we’re in town. Thanks again! 10/10 would recommend.

Immersive Cartagena experience in beautiful house with beyond 5--star service

A true old walled-city Cartagena experience with the BEST on-site people to help with anything you need. Our family of 8, with ages ranging from 14 to 77, loved our stay in this beautiful house in an ideal location for exploring and experiencing the magic of the walled city. Alan's warmth, helpfulness, and assistance were beyond 5-star. From recommending and reserving the best dinner places, to arranging a spectacular boat ride with an excellent captain to the can't-miss Playa Blanca, to getting us fair taxi rides anywhere we need to go, and even acting as translator and helper when my daughter had to go to the hospital, Alan is just the best! Raimundo was also wonderful, cooking us breakfast every morning, helping with luggage and helping out in general and Liliana's daily maid service was excellent. Each bedroom was truly air conditioned which is a must in hot and humid Cartagena and the plunge pool, which we used at least once a day, was essential! My only suggestion is that the beds have soft toppers as the mattresses were a bit hard. Thank you for a wonderful stay and a great way to experience old Cartagena- highly recommend!

Great visit to Cartegena

We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful house and were so well taken care of by the Alan, Raymundo and Iliana. They made everything so easy for us. Alan took us shopping to lay in the basics when we first arrived and then made us breakfast and coffee every morning; not easy with 6 adults over 50 with our own particular tastes and preferences (two vegans in the group). Alan aslo supported us in providing guidance on how to get around the town and even walked us to the harbor early one morning to take a boat to the islands. He helped arrange for the group to get in house massages, and made us dinner reservations at wonderful restaurants. Raymundo was there every night to greet us and make sure we got settled back in at the end of the long day. We felt safe and secure and in very good hands the whole time. Iliana kept our rooms and the space very clean every day, doing so in such a stealthy and unobtrusive way that it was all done before you even knew it! The location was fantastic; easily walkable to all points of interest and on a quieter street with just enough activity to be interesting, but not noisy. We had a terrific time and would would definitely come back to stay again.
