3BR Villa in Cartagena

Miguel

Excellent, 10 months ago

Very interesting home. Excellent attention from the staff, especially the cook/butler…

The staff is very friendly and attentive. The house is kept clean at all times. The only bad thing was that there were electricity problems almost every day, and the house was not prepared to withstand tourist visits, which affected our plans. We had to be careful since there was no air conditioning, we couldn't charge phones and there was no internet at home, so we couldn't work. It's a very nice and comfortable house, but it doesn't meet the expectations we had. I hope you can improve the service soon! It's a beautiful house

Host Response

Lamentamos sinceramente los inconvenientes ocasionados durante su estancia, Diana. En esos días, Cartagena enfrentó una tormenta eléctrica inusual —remanente del sistema que afectó el Caribe y llegó hasta la costa colombiana—, lo que provocó cortes de energía generales en el centro histórico. A pesar de que fue una situación totalmente ajena a nuestro control, hicimos todo lo posible por garantizar su comodidad, incluyendo su traslado a otra de nuestras propiedades donde sí había servicio eléctrico disponible. Agradecemos profundamente su comprensión y sus amables palabras hacia nuestro equipo y la limpieza de la casa. Nos alegra que haya podido disfrutar del encanto de la propiedad, y esperamos recibirla nuevamente en mejores condiciones climáticas para que viva la experiencia completa que siempre nos esforzamos por ofrecer. 🌿✨

Our stay at Stefeny’s property in Cartagena was exceptional. The location is ideal — conveniently close to major attractions and within walking distance of many points of interest. The residence itself was beautifully maintained, spotless, and very comfortable. The staff provided outstanding hospitality, making us feel truly at home throughout our stay. In addition, the meals prepared by Chef Keyner were exquisite and always served promptly. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Cartagena.

This home is magical. I stayed here with husband, mother, and three children for fall break. The home is absolutely stunning and somehow even better than the pictures. It is also very comfortable, and we felt right at home. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. Al Alma cafe is right next door, and it was our favorite breakfast spot. We loved the nearby boutiques and shops too. The concierge gave us wonderful suggestions and booked some activities for us which was very helpful. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful property.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The property itself was beautiful, very clean, and felt extremely safe — security was clearly a top priority, and we appreciated how much care was taken to ensure guests could relax with peace of mind. What truly made our trip unforgettable was the hospitality and service. The communication was excellent — every question was answered quickly, and the hosts were always thoughtful and attentive to our needs. A very special mention goes to the chef. We were fortunate enough to enjoy freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, and each meal was incredible. The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail were top-notch. The chef went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and well-fed, and the food was one of the highlights of our entire trip. This was truly a 5-star experience in every way — beautiful accommodations, excellent safety and security, seamless communication,

Stefany’s property is absolutely beautiful. The house is very well maintained, spotless, and everything was in excellent condition. The location couldn’t be better—close to great restaurants and within walking distance to shops and local attractions. The support staff truly elevated our stay. Heidy prepared delicious breakfasts each morning, Cecilio (butler) was incredibly helpful with taxis and local tips, and Luisa (concierge) assisted with reservations and directions. Having such a thoughtful team made everything so easy and enjoyable. Some of us also loved relaxing in the pool and hot tub. Unfortunately, the rain kept us from enjoying the rooftop patio or a BBQ with the barman/chef, but it just gives us a reason to come back! Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Casa Mandala and would happily recommend it to friends and family.

Me and five of my friends stayed here. It was amazing. The location is perfect, close to all the clubs, restaurants, and a beach . The home comes with a 24-hour concierge, he’s a guy but super friendly and accommodating. HE DO NOT GIVE CREEPY! We stayed two days the first day we got there we got in late and despite that he made us a delicious dinner. He also made us breakfast both days also delicious. He made sure we got in safe after enjoying the night. Always attentive, and welcoming. If I was to visit Colombia again I would definitely stay here.

🌟 Perfect Stay for a Special Celebration! 🌟 I stayed here with my sister and mother to celebrate her birthday, and it was the perfect home base for our time in Cartagena. The apartment was clean, stylish, and comfortable—exactly as pictured. The location made it easy to explore the city while still feeling peaceful and safe. We loved being close to great food, local markets, and the historic center. Our host was warm, responsive, and shared some excellent recommendations that helped make our trip even more memorable. Highly recommend this place for families or small groups looking for a convenient, welcoming stay in Cartagena—especially for special occasions!

I cannot comment enough about this place so I will refrain from doing so. I believe I have nearly 20 luxury ABNB stays and this was the best home I've ever stayed in. The place is as described in the pictures. No special angles, filters needed. It's beautiful. I want to be selfish and say please don't stay here so it will be open for me always. But I just can't. It needs to be shared with the world. Since what you see is what you get I'll comment on what you cannot see in the pictures, the staff! This house comes with a 3 person full time staff that work at this property and know it and everything around it intimately well. Heidi, Cecilio, and Edison are incredible and took care of our every need from meals to safely escorting us around in the evenings. Aside from the beauty of the stay they really made our trip special and the house feel like our home. Heidi is an excellent cook, going to the market to get us freshly caught fish she prepared for dinner was great. Cheers to them!

A wonderful experience, the house was prettier than in the photos, Keiner, who was the cook and the person who was there 24 hours a day in case you needed anything... as a cook I give him a +100, he made us the dishes we asked for, typical of the area, and some breakfasts, ufff, they were delicious, his professionalism surpasses everything. His professionalism at work is indescribable, I am sure that I will return and return to that house for the affection with which they treated us and the professionalism of Keiner. The girl who was in charge of cleaning and keeping the house perfect. Also a beautiful person and super discreet This place is a dream We will be back!

This was our first trip together to Cartagena with family and friends, nine of us in total, and staying at Casa Mandala made it truly unforgettable. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew this wasn’t just a house, it was a home. There’s a sense of harmony and peace throughout the space that immediately puts you at ease. The heated pool, jacuzzi and rooftop terrace were perfect places to unwind after exploring Cartagena and surrounding areas. Edison and Cecilio were absolutely the best hosts we could have asked for. They were kind, attentive, funny, friendly and incredibly resourceful, always making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Their warmth set the tone for the entire stay. On our last night, Edison went the extra mile and prepared a delicious, Columbian dinner. The house is right in the heart of Cartagena’s old town, where you’re surrounded by colonial beauty, vibrant street life, and restaurants.

The pictures definitely sold me, but the actual home was underwhelming. CONS: Downstairs pool was smaller than expected but can fit 4-6 people comfortably. "Second pool" on the rooftop is 1 inch deep, enough for a foot soak. We found a lot of mold in the bathroom basket which really freaked us out. The AC stopped working one night. Kitchen looked nice but upon closer look feels extremely cheap with broken pots/pans. Showers were difficult to turn on in all the bathrooms. PROS: In-house butler was super helpful, even though English was very limited. Location is great, not too touristy but very close to everything. Beds & sheets were extremely comfy. Aesthetics/decor make for great photo opps. Overall, I would've rather stayed somewhere else & expected better for the price point. Tip: If using a taxi/uber to arrive at home, instruct to drive to La Mulata restaurant (3 doors down), the address given is not clear to drivers apparently.

The chef cooking was the best. Made some of the most delicious and amazing food

Way better than the photos. This Airbnb is so luxurious—it feels like a 5 star hotel! We stayed here as a family and found the accommodations comfortable and relaxing. One of the best parts of our stay was the wonderful staff — Yessica, Cecilio, and Edison. They were all friendly and hospitable. We loved escaping from the Cartagena heat in the afternoons to swim in the pool, and after dinner we loved hanging out in the hot tub on the roof. The location is perfect - walk right out the door and you’re surrounded by restaurants, cafes, shopping, and all the sights. The hosts were accommodating to our children and provided high chairs and cribs for them. The home is absolutely beautiful - it looks to be out of the pages of Architectural Digest! We are leaving Cartagena with amazing memories and we cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!

This villa exceeded all expectations. The hosts were incredibly responsive, thoroughly answering every question I had before arrival. The villa itself is simply stunning - a three-story haven with exceptional airflow that keeps the space cool in Cartagena's heat. The private pool and rooftop terrace are absolute highlights, perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. Location couldn't be better - right in the heart of the old city, walking distance to shopping, cafés, restaurants, and street vendors, yet situated on a private street ensuring peaceful nights. Being just a block from the wall where you can watch the sunset is a special bonus. The staff provided impeccable service with warmth and kindness. The amenities are first-class in every way. For anyone visiting Cartagena, this villa is completely worth it. It offers the perfect luxury experience, putting you in a relaxed state of mind to truly enjoy all the city has to offer. I'm incredibly grateful to have found this gem.

We had a really enjoyable stay at this property – the place was clean, stylish, and very comfortable. The location was excellent, and everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. It’s clear the host has put effort into creating a great guest experience. The only downside was communication: responses were quite slow throughout the stay, which made it difficult to get quick support when needed. Also, on the last day, we were informed about a broken vase that we hadn’t noticed during our stay. We were asked to cover the cost in cash, which felt a bit uncomfortable, especially since there was no prior discussion or inspection. Overall, it was a great place to stay, but there’s room for improvement in communication and how issues are handled at checkout. Special shoutout to Kienner who took care of everything for us!

We had a wonderful stay in Cartagena! The place was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with great air conditioning (a must in Cartagena!). The location was perfect Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cartagena—it made our trip even more special!

We had a FABULOUS stay! Walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do, which was great, as it was pretty hot. We’d come back home during the hottest heat of the day and cool off in the pools 🙌 Keiner was an incredible chef and Cindy kept things super tidy! We found the Airbnb featured in an architectural design book that was at the house and we weren’t surprised it had received such accolades! The concierge was very attentive and made airport transit and restaurant reservations for us. The perfect balance of a cultural experience and relaxing spring break for our family of 4. Big thanks to the whole team!!

I had an amazing stay at Stefany’s Airbnb! The property was beautiful, and the highlights were definitely the stunning pool and the rooftop lounge. The pool was incredibly refreshing, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The rooftop lounge provided an incredible view and was a perfect spot to unwind in the evenings. Stefany was a wonderful host, very welcoming and responsive. The entire experience was comfortable, peaceful, and memorable. I highly recommend staying here!

Stefany’s place was absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, we felt cared for by Keinner and Cindy, which was the best part. They helped with laundry, food, safety, and everything in between. The breakfast spread was absolutely delicious. The house itself is stunning and feels like an oasis among the city. The location is perfect, as it’s off the main drag and feels a bit more beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. Everything is very walkable and there’s even a famous restaurant right next door. The bedrooms were perfect for 3 of us couples and were kept clean throughout our time. There were plenty of towels for both showering and the two pools, along with yoga mats, and an outdoor shower. Could not recommend this place enough, I’ll definitely be returning.

The house was spacious and met all expectations. Kienner the live- in chef was both helpful and a great cook. He really made our stay magical and was always on hand to help. The only hiccup was the concierge ( different person from Kienner) was unresponsive to requests around activities ( we didn’t find out we would have no water for a boat trip we had booked through her till the day of for example). Overall it was a good stay and Kienner was very helpful around anything we needed in the villa directly

Stefany’s place was awesome! my four friends and I came to celebrate my birthday and we loved this air bnb. It looks even better than the pictures and the beds are comfy. the staff is friendly and chill and super helpful with making sure rooms are clean, recommending activities/food, and offering a sense of safety. My friends and I were worried about not having a physical key or passcode to the place but there was always staff there and they were up even if we came back late. Couldn’t recommend this place more we will be back! And thank you Luisa and Keinner

Amazing stay! The place was just as stunning as the pictures. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, and the rooms were clean and well-equipped. The views from the terrace were beautiful, and the location was perfect—within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The concierge and butlers were fantastic, and arranging transportation to and from the Airbnb was seamless. I highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely incredible place and exceeded our expectations! The location is perfectly placed inside the wall city, walkable to many restaurants bars and grocery stores. The rooms are super spacious and exactly like the photos. Having Keinner the Chef onsite was the best part - he’s super friendly, cooks fantastic meals and I would highly recommend using his services. Also the maid onsite made it truly feel luxury and well taken care of. The concierge service is also very professional and helps add a nice touch for those visiting. Overall we felt extremely safe, well taken care of, and enjoyed our experience so much. Highly recommend staying here!

The good: Housekeeper offered to do our laundry a couple of time which was nice and rooms were cleaned up to standards. Butler Keiner, ran a couple of errands to the grocery store for us and made a delicious pasta bolognese. House is very nicely decorated, clean and well maintained We were able to check-in earlier than 3pm The bad: No wifi on the terrace. Both rooms on third floor had tv’s, however we were not able to watch movies as there was no wifi. Staff noise in the kitchen/heavy foot steps going up and down stairs everyday early in the morning. Didn’t feel very private. Fridge didn’t work for 2 days. No access to ice, our food got spoiled. Luisa the manager, welcomed us and read the rules. Didn’t have a good friendly attitude. Tips left on the bed for the housekeeper were collected by the butler without asking. At check out the staff tried to collect from us $150.000 COP ($50) for a towel they found damaged with chlorine pucks. We did not do this!. Staff don’t speak English.

I really enjoyed my stay at Stefany's place for my 30th birthday. The pictures do not do this place any justice. It is literally breathtaking as soon as you walk in. I walked in with surprise birthday decorations with my favorite dishes made for me. That warmed my heart immediately. Being greeted by the chef/butler immediately & having him at our service for literally any and everything we needed was the best thing ever. The views from the rooftop & rooms were so beautiful. Having breakfast prepared & being able to have lunch and/or dinner as options as well was so convenient. I truly enjoyed the meals especially the fish, seafood casserole, and the fritters. Keinner did amazing with those dishes. He also didn't hesitate to walk us to different places & was always awake when we came back late at night/early mornings. The beds & pillows were soooo soft and comfortable. And I can't forget the pools. I enjoyed the rooftop pool/jacuzzi the most because of the jets & it was more relaxing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Stefany’s lovely Airbnb, and I cannot recommend it enough. The space itself is beautifully decorated with three large floors to lounge. I spent most of the time on the roof deck where you can enjoy morning coffee, breakfast, drinks, hot tub, while soaking in the sun. Location-wise, this Airbnb is perfect -just a short walk to all the restaurants and bars yet not on a highly trafficked road with constant noise. It was the perfect place for my adventure.

This is a gorgeous home in the middle of bustling and historic old town of Cartagena. Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, parks, shopping. My family of 8 were there over the holidays and we so loved to have the groceries waiting for us as well as breakfast made for us a couple of days and even a NYE grilled dinner on the rooftop. The bedrooms are spacious and the roof top is a dream. The living room is huge and we loved the wide screen TV in the evenings to unwind on the large sofas. The staff is there 24/7-they do not speak English, but communicate with google translate. Highly recommend this home.

This Airbnb was even better than the photos. It was on one of the more picturesque streets close to all the action, but more quiet. The butler was one of my favorite parts of the trip. He was always at the door to great us. You must to a home cooked meal! It was amazing Colombian food. Cindy the maid was also so sweet. Not all Airbnb’s have fresh linens and towels every day. If we ever had an issue it was great to have one of them there to reach out to right away!

This Airbnb is luxurious and amazing. Our family kept saying it felt like our own private resort. The staff on site, Keinner and Cindy worked so hard and made the experience a 10/10 for us. If you are going, we highly recommend having Keinner cook you a meal or two while you’re there. His cooking is excellent and even better than some of the restaurants we tried. Cindy cleans the rooms each day, so it feels like a hotel experience. Luisa was able to book a couple of things for us, which made a big difference as well. The AC worked perfect which we were happy about. The pools and common areas were perfect for hanging out. Overall we really loved this place and would highly recommend it.

I have to emphasize on how amazing the staff at this House was and is. Very helpful, very active at all times. 24/7. At first I wasn’t to sure about people other than us being there. But OMG was it worth it. And they are so humble and simply amazing. The house is great. The pool is amazing. The jacuzzi was my treat every night after partying and in the day having Breakfast in the Roof top was priceless. Just make sure you communicate with Jessica. She is a Dream. I definitely recommend this house 10/10. We had some hiccups but nothing worth mentioning publicly because they were on top of it all. Great house. Great staff. Overall Great stay.

Great Location Beautiful House Keinner made us feel like family, safe and an excellent chef.

This was the perfect Colombian birthday palace. We had an amazing time here! The home is more beautiful in person. It was safe and close to restaurants, nightlife, shopping etc. The best part of this home is the team it comes with. Biggest thank you to Keiner,Tanya and Luisa!! Keiner is one of the best chefs! His food was better than any restaurant and the perfect touch of luxury to have for your trip! Thank you for the amazing experience. We will be back.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. I’ll start with the positives. The house staff (yessica, cecilio, Edinson) were very helpful during our stay, even with communicating through a translator. The house is more beautiful in person. The house is in a walkable area and we felt safe during the day and night. The house staff made us feel comfortable even though they stayed there the full time. The heated pool was very nice! Cons: Luisa (house manager) was unresponsive for most of our trip. We couldn’t book taxis, or go to an excursion we planned because she never responded to our messages. She overcharged us for airport pickup ($35 USD) when we got our own for ($12USD) going back. Also, we paid almost $300USD for food for the house, but the food provided was not even $100 worth. You’re better off going to restaurants in the area and booking your own transportation. Thank you Yessica, Cecilio and Edinson for your assistance during our trip!

Host Response

Estimada Shantel, Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la casa, su ubicación, y que nuestro equipo, especialmente Yessica, Cecilio y Edison, les hizo sentir cómodos y seguros durante su estadía. También nos complace saber que la piscina climatizada y otros aspectos del alojamiento estuvieron a la altura de sus expectativas. Respecto a los puntos que mencionas sobre los servicios adicionales, nos gustaría ofrecer algunas aclaraciones: 1. Servicio de transporte desde el aeropuerto: El transporte que organizamos para ustedes no fue un taxi convencional, sino un servicio privado en una van diseñada para acomodar cómodamente a ocho personas y sus respectivas maletas. Este servicio premium incluye asistencia con las maletas y la puntualidad de estar esperándolos a su llegada, lo que naturalmente tiene un costo mayor que un taxi estándar. Sin embargo, lamentamos cualquier confusión que haya surgido al respecto. 2. Solicitudes de transporte y comunicación: Nuestro objetivo siempre es brindarles la mejor experiencia posible, pero comprendemos que en ocasiones las expectativas pueden diferir. Nuestro equipo de concierge está disponible para asistir con reservas y coordinación previa, aunque las solicitudes urgentes en el momento pueden ser más difíciles de gestionar, especialmente en ciertas zonas donde los taxis no están fácilmente disponibles de forma inmediata. Tomaremos tus comentarios como una oportunidad para mejorar la claridad en la comunicación de nuestros servicios y procesos, asegurándonos de que nuestros futuros huéspedes tengan una experiencia aún más fluida. Agradecemos nuevamente tus amables palabras sobre nuestro equipo y esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente en el futuro para brindarte una experiencia mejorada. Saludos cordiales, Tephy D.

Great location and a breathtakingly beautiful home. We had a wonderful time in Cartagena.

We had an amazing stay at Stefany's house in Cartagena! The location couldn’t have been more perfect—right in the heart of the beautiful walled city. Everything we wanted to explore, from top restaurants to historical landmarks, was just a short walk away. The house itself is stunning, beautifully designed with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our stay so comfortable. We loved being able to experience the vibrant energy of the city while having such a peaceful and charming place to come back to. Highly recommend Stefany’s house for anyone visiting Cartagena!
