You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Old City Elegance with Magnificent Ocean Views and Sunsets from top roof.

From the moment that you enter our historic building you will feel the charm and elegance of the old city. Enjoy a newly built apartment and your own private rooftop terrace with beautiful ocean views fanned by the Caribbean breeze. Ideally located in the heart of the historic old city and within the walls that once surrounded a Viceroy's compound you will be served with 24 hour security and power (even a back up generator). You will be enchanted by the splendor of the sea and the charm of the colonial streets full of magic and color. Administration will charge a fee of $30,000 colombian pesos to identify you as a guest per person please pay it at arrival time.
The owners have 20 years experience in the hospitality industry and know how to provide the comfort you deserve.

Within walking distance of historic sites, fine dining, lively nightlife, the convention center, Pegasus pier, the Heredia theater, shopping malls, five star hotels and just 10 minutes from the airport, Bocagrande and the beaches.

Perfect for honeymooners, couples and families seeking to spend a memorable vacation or executives attending an international convention.

Very important you will never suffer black out from electricity power, we have
back up generator so we guarantee 24/7 electricity.

The complex has two swimming pools, one just for adults and another for the children, a fitness room, two indoor Saunas and three Jacuzzis with one located on a shared terrace with sea and sunset views. The tropical gardens are cool and relaxing with the peaceful sound of falling water.

The apartment is located in the most exclusive area of Cartagena, providing peace, tranquility and relaxation. The complex has a full security system with closed circuit cameras and a receptionist 24 hours a day.

La Casa del Virrey Eslava is one of Cartagena's most significant historical sites and has retained it?s 17th century colonial facade. Renovated in 2009, the complex is completely modernized inside without breaking the harmony of its historical value. This was the residence of Viceroy Sebastian de Eslava who commanded Spanish colonies from here as the king?s appointed Viceroy of New Granada from April 24, 1740 until November 6, 1749 .

There are many place where you can stay in the Old City but very fews will offer you the elegant, charm and security!

It's important to note that only registered guests with the web site VRBO are allow in the complex prior the arrival at the time of reservation and of course in the apartment due to security with them and others. Please respect the
rules.

Thanks.

The host was incredibly responsive and kept in constant communication, making the whole stay seamless. She even made sure the driver, Robert, was ready when my flight was delayed, and Maria, the housekeeper, was so kind—she had a cake waiting for my birthday! The home itself is comfortable, cozy, and spotless. The location is perfect—within walking distance to everything—and it feels very safe with 24/7 security. It’s such a tranquil place to return to after a day of activities. I would absolutely stay here again!

Incredible Old City Family Adventure

It was everything we read about and then some! My entire family had a great vacation. After a delicious local cuisine breakfast prepared by Maria, we explored the walled city just a block from everything. The property is the perfect location!

Perfect location!

My son and I stayed here for a wedding and it was a perfect time. The unit is well located right near the historic wall and easy to get around the city. Unit very nicely appointed. Beds super comfortable. Maria is a lovely lady and we muddled through my lack of Spanish and her lack of English. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay!

We had such a wonderful time staying here. It is a very comfortable and beautiful apartment. It is very centrally-located while also not being in an extremely crowded and loud area. The rooftop terrace is beautiful. Very good air conditioning. Maria was also a wonderful cook and very attentive. Osi, the owner was also very attentive and helped us with recommendations before arriving. We will definitely stay there in the future.

Fantastic stay

We loved our stay at Osi’s! The unit is huge and the pictures do not do it justice. The roof top deck is lovely with its hammock and ocean views and the A/C works well. We had Marie cook a few meals for us and I can highly recommend her ceviche and fish dish with coconut rice. The complex retains some of its old world charm with modern updates such as adult and children pool areas. We felt safe and enjoyed easy access around old town. You will undoubtedly love your stay and bring back fond memories of this lovely home and Cartagena.

Lovely! Will stay here again!

This was a perfect location in the walled city. Right outside of all the hustling of the city to enjoy the peace of the neighborhood and close enough to get to all the activities within five minutes. Maria is a master cook and super sweet. Osiris was easy to talk to and address any issues. Only concern would be the stairs for those who can’t do stairs. But the stairs also provide a level of privacy with each bedroom being on an opposite floor. We loved it! The internet was spotty.

Shenanigans in Cartagena

We had a fabulous time in Cartagena. We had a couple join us who have never been to Colombia and they fell in love with the city (and the country). We played golf, we did a day excursion to Isla Del Sol and walked and shopped and ate at some amazing restaurants. The location of your place is perfect and you can catch an Uber within minutes to anywhere you want to go. We were there for 5 days and time flew by and we didn’t even scratch the surface of things to do and places to go. We went outside of the walled city to the streets that have the umbrellas and highly recommend it. This is very safe with 24 hour security to let you in and out and Maria will take care of anything you need, cleaning/laundry etc…can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful, clean and quiet home

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at this home. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located in the Old City. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go and the two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom connected to the bedroom were so comfortable and convenient. We made use of the pool in the development, as well, and Maria the housekeeper was available every weekday. The rooftop patio was lovely to sit outside in the early morning. It should be noted that you do need to be comfortable going up and down the stairs since the bedrooms are on the second and third floors. Air conditioning worked well in our bedrooms and the living room, and there was hot water, as well. I would definitely recommend staying at this home and I would be happy to return if I have the opportunity to visit Cartagena again!

Perfect location!

Our 7 night stay was incredible! The location was perfect. We were 3-4 blocks away from several of the bustling plazas with street performers, restaurants and food vendors yet the block and complex were quiet and serene. We spent most mornings wandering around and would usually come back mid afternoon to enjoy the air conditioning and a dip in one of the pools before going out for the evening (The kids pool was 10 steps outside of the apartment and rarely had people in it, the adult pool was steps away). Super convenient to have a main floor entrance. The space was large, the photos do not do it justice. The main floor was ample living space, well stocked kitchen and a powder bath. Second and third floors were large en suite bedrooms with patios it was just my husband and I so we did not even use the third floor, but we did enjoy the rooftop patio on the 4th level earning morning or evenings. We did not experience Maria’s cooking, but she was incredible and communicative. We flew overnight and arrived at 10 AM, they were very accommodating to take in our bags while we explored the city until check-in. We felt very safe in the city overall, but it was wonderful to have a secure building that was guarded 24/7 with lovely staff. The host sent us recommendations a week or so ahead of time, which were helpful in planning our trip. We also indulged in three of their recommended restaurants, which were incredible. We highly recommend this amazing accommodation and host team!

Lovely apartment tucked away in the quiet side of town

Apartment was in a beautiful building and most importantly it was clean and with powerful A/C units in each room. Best of all, you were within walking distance of the busy centro but still far enough to be quiet. One call out is there are a lot of stairs (4 floors) so may not be the ultimate option for anyone with mobility challenges. Overall would recommend!
