The Space
Stay in a stunning four-bedroom colonial villa within Cartagena’s iconic Walled City, just steps from renowned restaurants, rooftop bars, and historic landmarks. Enjoy a private pool, a rooftop jacuzzi, and a complimentary homemade breakfast each morning.

Colonial architecture and living art come together throughout the villa. Each of the four spacious bedrooms includes a private full bathroom and individual air conditioning, providing comfort and privacy for every guest.
The grand living room features two air-conditioning units and opens onto two elegant open-air dining areas, ideal for relaxed Cartagena evenings. The private open-air pool and rooftop jacuzzi offer sunny daytime retreats and a magical atmosphere after dark.

The House and Its Art
This private colonial residence has been shaped by art, family, and time. It is not a hotel, but a lived-in artistic sanctuary in which every detail has been thoughtfully designed. Guests are invited to slow down, relax, and experience Cartagena from within.
The residence features original works created exclusively by the Gil family, including:
- Sculptures and paintings by Spanish artist Eladio Gil Zambrana and his wife, Fini Piñero de Gil.
- Ceramics and wood paintings by their daughter, María José Gil.
Together, these works form a living artistic legacy.
Selected artworks are available for purchase. Please let us know if a particular piece interests you.

This house is just amazing, is like a museum, love all the art around. We really enjoyed our stay here. I was able to work from there for a few days in the gallery room. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed the rooftop. But the best of this house is the staff, they really make you feel at home! Thank you!!!

Amazing experience staying at this home. Beautiful art pieces everywhere, which was a great backdrop for all pictures my group and I took (a group of 8 girls stayed here for a bachelorette trip). Very central location to lots of food, cafes, and shopping. Sebastian was extremely responsive and the chefs were excellent cooks. The security made us feel safe at all points of the day and the staff in general were extremely friendly. No issues with AC, water, or WiFi. Would definitely recommend others to stay here!
