It was a great experience staying at Roberto's place. I would recommend it to anyone. Roberto was super helpful. He booked transportation for us to and from the airport, got us a reservation at a nice restaurant on a Saturday night, and booked a boat trip for us to the islands.

Fantastic place. The staff makes it feel like a hotel. Roberto is as good of a host as you'll ever find. He got us a day-of dinner reservation at a local place. He consistently checked in with us and offered to help however he could. Don't hesitate on this place. If you're in Cartagena with a big group, this is the place to stay

Beautiful villa in the heart of Cartagena! We booked a stay for a wedding and Roberto and Berta went above and beyond to make it an amazing and memorable weekend. The house was perfect, we loved soaking in the pool after busy wedding events that kept us up late and exhausted, and the staff put together the most delicious breakfast spreads for our group. Jose at the door also always made sure we were safe and able to get in and out of the house whenever needed, and Roberto and Berta also helped us coordinate rides to and from the airport, making sure we had some food when we got to the house since we had a quick event to get to, as well as hair and makeup for the day of the wedding which saved us from so much stress and made everything go so smoothly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Roberto is amazing host who is very attentive and helpful if you need assistance with transportation, excursions, restaurant recommendations, etc. The property is stunning, and perfectly located near all the amazing restaurants, bars and clubs, yet somehow still peaceful and quiet inside. You’re only a 15 minute cab from the port if you want to do excursions. The staff is diligent, kind and friendly. We were a group of 10 renting the whole space, but even if you’re renting just a room, every suite is its own private oasis and the common area with pool is stunning and spacious. It feels like being transported to an oasis. For anyone trying to visit Cartagena, look no further, this is where to stay. It’s a magical property and renting through Roberto feels like you’re dealing with a friend or family member!
