Absolutely incredible stay from start to finish. The pictures honestly don’t even do this place justice—it is even more beautiful and impressive in person. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully taken care of. Hannia was an amazing host and incredibly responsive. She made the entire experience so easy and was always available whenever we needed anything. The staff was also phenomenal, especially Alfredo, who went above and beyond every day and made us feel incredibly well taken care of. The hospitality, the property, the service, and the overall experience were all exceptional. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly and would absolutely stay here again. If you’re considering booking it, don’t hesitate—you will not be disappointed.

House was lovely and the staff is wonderful. Alfredo, the house manager has been working there for many years and knows everything about the house and area. I would highly recommend this property when looking for a place in the Cartagena old city. House is almost adjacent to San Diego plaza which is the best part of the area.

I stayed here from Thursday- Monday for a relaxing girls trip. The house has 24/7 housekeeping. Mr. Alfredo was the absolute BEST! He was extremely helpful whenever we needed something. The staff overall were very kind and helpful. The space was always clean, our rooms were cleaned daily, prepared breakfast each morning with fresh coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit was provided. The area was perfect and all the restaurants, shops, and bars were within walking distance. The host was great and very responsive to any concern we had. I would absolutely recommend booking here!

Incredible Airbnb! Perfect for a large group of friends. Each bedroom was gorgeous with separate ensuite bathrooms and the shared spaces like the pool and roof were beautiful. Alfredo and the other staff members were very helpful and cooked us excellent breakfast and even helped to organize a birthday celebration and dinner for our friend. Amazing experience, would definitely recommend!

Casa Maria is located on a beautiful quiet street that was walkable to everything we wanted to do- shop, restaurants, nightlife. The house had spacious rooms and kept clean. What made this house stand out is the house staff. We had a delicious breakfast every morning and rooms made daily. Alfredo the butler was amazing! So kind, patient (we spoke little spanish), helpful and so attentive. He was there to open the door each morning as we left for the day and there to open the door at night when we came home. We were a group of 8 females and felt very safe staying there. 100% would recommend!

We have nothing but great things to say about Hannia, Alfredo, and th rest of the staff. The house is stunning and comfortable with great amenities. Having Alfredo as a concierge is so great. He will go get you supplies (from market and places with freshest / reasonable prices, make sure everyone is in for the night, and keeps the house tidy - along with the ladies that help with breakfast (other meals if requested - HIGHLY recommend a dinner in - may be best meal we had!!!) , and act as a bartender too!! Location was ideal. Many restaurants and shop a quick walk and others no more than 10-12 minutes. Walk to dock in 12-15 minutes. Some noise at night from local bar - if you sleep on first floor. Having the pool and rooftop is super. They provide towels. I am vegan (rest is not) and Hannia was great to accommodate my needs and requests. What you ask for, you will receive!! They arranged transportation back to airport. Very smooth process and reasonable price. Stay there!!!!

Casa Maria is a genuine gem! Restaurants and shops immediately out the door, walkable to almost every where you would want to go! As a side note, the manager, Alfredo, stays onsite. He arranges transportation, lets you in and out of the house and even accompanied us to the grocery store! The wonderful staff made us breakfast each morning and also Christmas Eve dinner! So appreciated them! Each room has their own en suite bathroom, in addition to the pool, patio upstairs and gorgeous rooftop views!
