What a unique place! First it's gigantic and not cluttered. Even if you stayed with 6 people, you could barely see them if you wanted. I loved that you can open the glass doors in the living room right out into the lobby pool. It's a really cute lobby that people can to take pictures at. It was nice having the cafe, bar and restaurant on site, but they are a bit pricey. But the apartment is right in the middle of the town, so it's only a block or two to many restaurants. The upstairs room is pretty quiet, but the other two are loud since they are right by a performance area. But just about everywhere in Colombia is loud, especially in these fun areas, so bring your earplugs. It's easy to sleep with earplugs in.

Having visited Cartagena over 15 times and experienced a variety of beautiful accommodations, I can confidently place Claude’s residence among my top three favorites. The design of the lobby, the allure of the pools, and the thoughtful layout of the rooms truly distinguish this property. The entire space is breathtaking and—a rarity in travel—is perfectly captured by its listing photos. The location is unparalleled; you are steps away from exceptional restaurants, cafés, boutique shopping, historic churches, and popular tourist sites. The iconic Clock Tower entrance is just two blocks away, and both the vibrant district of Getsemaní and the marina for boat excursions are within easy walking distance. While there were a few minor areas that could benefit from slight refinement, they were trivial in the context of the overall experience. I would, without hesitation, award this stay a perfect 10 out of 10. Most importantly, Claude’s communication was impeccable—any needs we had were add

Casa Pombo was an absolute dream for my family and me. The property is even more beautiful in person, with so much character, history, and charm - it made our time in Cartagena feel truly special. Claude went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly well cared for from the moment we arrived. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our time together as a family. We left with wonderful memories and only wish we could have stayed longer. Casa Pombo is a truly magical place, and we would return without hesitation. Thank you, Claude, for making our family trip feel like a dream come true!

The place was beautiful, spacious, and even better than expected. The hotel entrance was gorgeous, and the location was perfect—right in the city and close to plenty of shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. Claude’s communication and customer service were excellent. He even helped arrange transportation for the next part of our trip to Tayrona National Park, which was incredibly helpful. We had a great stay and would definitely book with Claude again!

We had a great stay! The apartment is located inside a beautiful luxury hotel with a very nice atmosphere and, above all, it is super safe, since it has guards 24 hours a day, every day. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable, and the pool area is very nice. We had a small problem with the hot water, but the host was very responsive and fixed it that same afternoon, which we really appreciated. As a recommendation for future guests, there is an important point to note: the accommodation is located next to a Plaza de la Proclamación. From Monday to Saturday, groups of dancers with drums usually perform, and the sound can be extremely loud in the afternoon until about 9:45 PM. For adults it wasn't a problem, but if you're traveling with babies or toddlers, especially those who are sensitive to noise or go to bed early, it may be something to consider. Overall, we highly recommend this place. It's beautiful and safe.

Claude! We had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as pictured—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was excellent and made it easy to get around. Our host was also very proactive with communication, keeping us informed throughout our stay and making everything smooth from check-in to check-out. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

I have been going to Cartagena for over 20 years and I’ve stayed in all kinds of places but this is the crown jewel of places as far as its history for being there since the 1600s and the absolutely amazing renovations that were done. The entrance is the best in Cartagena. Everyone wants to take photos there and when I show my friends my photos they all want to come now. Well worth the price. 👍

The place is amazing, spacious and very nice. Having the benefits of a hotel, pools, coffee, bar, towels, adds a lot to this stay. Unbeatable location. The hotel staff is very friendly and everything is very nice. Claude is always very responsive!
