My stay at Carlos home was remarkable. My friends and I were blown away by this gorgeous home. Every part of this house was carefully curated, restored or preserved. The location was perfect as we were able to walk around with ease and never needed a taxi. The staff were unbelievable and very patient with us. Everyone felt like family and friends. Every meal they prepared was delicious. We also felt extremely safe. We felt like royalty! They were so thoughtful and compassionate and went above and beyond --- even when we didn't ask for anything. I've been telling everyone about my trip and most importantly Casa el Carretero. I would definitely visit Colombia again and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Carlos. Thank you for making my birthday so very special with your beautiful home and staff. Muchos Gracias!

The location, property, staff, and host were all wonderful. I would highly recommend this rental for most people! However, if you have an trouble with stairs, the stairs are a bit hard to climb and there is no hand railing. The stairs are a little difficult to navigate for me (I have some mobility issues). I think this may be common in many Cartagena properties, but I just want to flag it for others!

I would travel back to Cartagena just to stay at this property again. It is amazing, close to everything, and situated in an authentic part of the city (no Western fast food restaurants and hotels), a true Cartagena neighborhood with authentic food, people, art, lounges, etc. The home is beautiful, large and the staff is amazing. Loved everything about it!

Beautiful place in a perfect location. You will get the full Cartagena experience. We loved the location as its close to shops, restaurants and just about everything. It is however in the middle of the city so you have to be ok with a bit of noise. The pool looks bigger in the pictures yet we very much enjoyed it. The caretakers are lovely, polite and helpful. It was a marvelous experience and we would highly recommend it.

Casa El Carretero met all our expectations! The house staff was professional and very attentive!! Location to the center plaza is phenomenal (but you’ll hear the nightlife until the wee hours of the morning)! We loved everything about our stay! 10/10 recommend!!!

This was a friend getaway vacation. Excellent staff, Issa, Rosoria, and Julio were amazing staff and took care off all of our requests and concerns. The hotel pool was amazing, not big but just the right size for about 5 or so people to enjoy themselves and we did for sure. Would stay again.

Clean house and friendly staff!

Clean house and friendly staff!

We came here with a group of 9 for a bachelor party. Overall a great house!! Here's my reviews: Pros: 1) 24/7 staff. Both the day crew & the single-man night crew were exceptional. We never felt crowded by them being there, in fact we loved that there was someone on the property at all times in case we needed anything day or night. 2) Secure & Safe location: Food, drinks, groceries were all less than 5 minute walking distance. We even walked to the clock tower area a few times during our stay. Not once did we worry about walking through the streets (even at 3 am), nor did we worry about our belongings back at the house. Shoutout to Kevin for keeping us entertained & making sure we got everything we needed! 3) Daily Breakfast: Since we were out pretty much every day, it did not make sense for us to buy the daily Lunch & Dinner plates at the house. However, the house comes included with daily breakfast. Every morning, the day staff (Maria & Isa) would cook us a fantastic breakfast complete with eggs/meat, toast, fruits, juice & coffee. They would wait until every last one of us ate. 4) Cleaning: Every day we all left the house around the same time (10-11am). This is when the staff would clean up after us. Every day we would come back to a perfectly spotless house. 5) Internet & TV: The entire house was covered under their network, did not lose service at all and it was high speed. Didn't need to watch too much TV but there were flat screens in every room! 6) A/C: All rooms had perfectly working ACs along with ceiling fans. This was a major thing to have ask it can get sometimes uncomfortably hot during the day. The only rooms that didn't have AC was the common room where we ate breakfast (but we managed and still ended up hanging out there anyways). Now onto the cons. There are not many and I would still recommend this house to anyone: 1) House charges: we did not realize or told that the water/beer in the fridge was for sale only. It would have be nice to have been told this in advance. Also the fridge did not work fully, we had to keep our beverages in the freezer. 2) Pool area: The pool seemed slightly larger in the pictures vs. reality. We still loved the pool area and used it heavily, however the space was tight & could only fit 3-4 people without overcrowding the area. We did have to constantly clean this weird mass of white bubbles that formed in the pool. Cannot thank Carlos, Maria & Isa, and Kevin enough for a wonderful time!
