My family and friends (a total of 12 people) stayed here for Christmas and New Years. Cartagena is a bustling little city at that time Quite often an overload to the senses. So to ring the doorbell and have Hernando (the house manager) greet us after every excursion was a breath of fresh air.
Physically, the house is magnificent. The luxury of having a bathroom for each of the six bedrooms was very appreciated. Lots of closet space, comfortable beds and a/c in each.
The common areas are huge and well laid out. It’s stunning to sit in the downstairs (yes there are two) living room to gaze at the grotto all the way through to the swimming pool. A gorgeous old palm tree is the focal point of the courtyard.
The house has been updated (many times in 300 years) but the “feel” is still of an authentic grand casa.
We cooked several dinners at home and the kitchen is well stocked and roomy.
But I have saved the best for last. It’s the staff who are the stars. Hernando (Nando), Veronica and Yoli are the warmth and charm and professionalism you can only wish for. They are here every day, but always in the background. Their breakfasts amazing! They make you feel like it’s your home. I must mention Guidobruno the owner. He was exceptionally good to communicate with.
We are sad to go, but since we have enjoyed every minute of being here, are grateful for what we had.
This place has our full recommendation to others that want to enjoy it. We are jealous!

1st- everything in the description and posting is accurate.
2nd- Hernando and the staff are absolute rockstars. The food they prepare is amazing with so much love. Hernando will go above and beyond to make sure the guests are getting taken care. It is a 24/7 service.
3rd-The house is in spectacular location, which is close to the markets, street vendors, clubs, shops, ocean etc.
When I return to Cartagena this will be the place we stay at everytime

This is an incredible property in the heart of the walled city. The space is incredibly beautiful and comfortable, and the staff are great. The only issue that we had was difficulty with the address in the listing which lacked the house number (9-104). This caused us some delay at customs. Our driver also had difficulty finding it. But, once we got here, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Cartagena is wonderful and vibrant. The ale usual precautions and be aware of your surroundings, but we always felt safe and evenings out shopping and dining I. The walled city were great! Also, be sure to have the concierge arrange a boat for you one day! It was worth it!

The property was gorgeous and located securely within the walled city. I would recommend having the caretaker show you how to work all lights, fans, a/c in each room so you don’t wake up in the middle of the night hot. Someone in your party needs to speak Spanish to communicate effectively with the staff. We found that to be a challenge even though I spoke a little Spanish. My husband got there earlier than the rest of us (me and our 4 adult daughters) so he could check out the place. Caretaker asked if he needed help getting a boat or if he wanted some girls. My husband found that funny, I however did not.
The house was always clean, just ask for more towels for the bath. We only had breakfast in the villa each day that was prepared by Veronica and we enjoyed it. We provide a list of groceries and the money up front and then they buy the food for you. We gave them all a nice tip because we were there over Christmas and we appreciated all of their service during our stay.

We could not have asked for a better stay at Guidobruno's house! Because we were a group of 12, including 6 children ages 6-11, we wanted space to spread out and also have a little privacy. The house was spectacular -- much bigger than in the photos, with an open first floor layout, two huge living rooms, very comfortable beds, pools for the kids to play in, outdoor showers, beautiful plantings, a front balcony from which to watch the world go by.... I could go on. Even more spectacular than the house was the staff -- Hernando, Veronica, Joli, and Olga. Hernando got us whatever we needed, arranged excursions, and made us all feel welcome, safe, and secure during our stay. Hernando also was wonderful to chat with, and as a native of Cartagena had a wealth of information for us. He was always available when we needed him. Veronica's meals will be greatly missed by us as we return home! Each day she put out lovely spreads of Colombian food, with fresh fruit and juices, arepas made by hand, delicious patacones con hogao, arroz con pollo, carne asada, pollo guisado -- anything we desired! She also did all of the food shopping for us, and with Joli and Olga kept the house clean and tidy, which was very much appreciated since we were such a large group with kids! Joli and Olga were super sweet and did a great job keeping the house in order -- clean sheets and towels, tidying up after all of the kids, laundering our endless laundry, etc. Overall, a beautiful house with incredible staff! We certainly will return.

Hernando was a great house manager, and well as the wonderful ladies who cooked for us. House is beautiful in a superb location. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cartagena in a large group.

This property was FIRE! It was the perfect set up for 5. Everyone had their own room, their own space. We gave the cooks money to get us food. Whatever you want to have for breakfast, let them know and they will go and get the groceries to make it for you. They will even ask you when you want it so it can be ready fresh for you. The pool was a great feature for entertaining. Most of all Hernando, He was the host with the most. Cool, chill and even great to talk to you. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about everything. Ideally located. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone whether it is a birthday party, bachelor trip, vacation with friends etc. You won't regret. Only thing that needs to improve is the Wi-Fi. It wasn't the greatest but that was only complaint. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY. No question.

The home is absolutely beautiful and the staff is very attentive! My family and I stayed at this home, there was a total of 9 of us, and it is definitely more than enough space, everyone enjoyed their time here. It’s located in the walled city and everything you need is within walking distance, I would definitely recommend in the future.

Guido, words are not enough to express the amazing time we all had in your beautiful property. The staff treated all of us like family and made the stay even better. For some it was their first time in Colombia and couldnt stop raving about their experience and the beauty of the city and its people. Thank you once again! A, T and A

We traveled from Miami to Cartagena for my bachelor party! There were 11 of us guys. The House was so easy to get to from the airport. The moment we arrived, Felix opened the door and greeted us. The house is much nicer and bigger than the pictures present. A perfect house for a group of guys to enjoy an awesome weekend together. Pool and extra hot tub was HUGE!! Everyone was close and had what they needed in the house. Felix made sure to get everything we requested within an hour no matter what it was. He was always available 24/7. The breakfasts was great and delicious each morning prepared for Kings by the chef. House is in a great location. Cartagena and this house is the place to celebrate a bachelor party unlike any other. Felix is the man and the house staff were amazing.

The owner, Guidobruno, is very responsive and answered all the questions I needed prior to arrival and made me feel comfortable booking the property. The property itself looks better than the pictures. It has a large outdoor living area and a second large air conditioned indoor living room on the second floor. The rooftop with jacuzzi had a cool view and the pool was clean and a great part of the house. Felix and the staff were very nice and accommodating and would clean after every night. We were very impressed with the space and the bedrooms were comfortable and much better than the pictures look. I would absolutely recommend this place. The location is perfect and a very convenient to get around old city. We felt safe the entire time we were at the property.

Overall experience was unreal, by far the best vacation of my life!! The house was amazing, exceeded all my expectations. It came with a maid which cleaned everyday, a chef that cooked for you everyday and porter who helped with all your needs. The location of the house was in a very safe area, we roamed the streets at all hours of the day and felt completely safe. Everyone was so nice, food was amazing, I definitely plan on returning and staying at the same location.

Overall this place is clean. the maids and butler were very friendly only issue we had was the language cause they didn't speak any English but thanks to google translate. This place was in a very good area. I would recommend this place.
