We had a great time at this beautiful house. The property is pristine and located conveniently within walking distance of stores, restaurants and sights. Alan was incredibly helpful with recommendations; fixing delicious breakfasts; and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend this place! Thank you.

We booked this property for a group trip (7 adults, ages 25-30) celebrating a birthday. Not only is the property in a prime location of the old city close to the supermarket, street food vendors, shops and the mall. It’s a beautiful home with tons of space, a nice pool, rooftop with great view that felt super secure and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was definitely the amazing property manager Alan and Raymundo his assistant. They were friendly, cool and helped us book activities (boat ride and photographer), dinner reservations, gave directions and walked us there when it was close. They helped the cleaning staff with property upkeep and upon request got us breakfast, lunch and dinner from local places. Their presence was a huge difference in making the trip a success and made us feel like we were truly at home. We will definitely look to stay here again next time we’re in town. Thanks again! 10/10 would recommend.

We had great time at Cartagena. Alan (Property care taker) is very good and present all times of your need. He is always available to provide support during stay. We explored many areas and restaurants and island. House is located into City and very convenient location and walking distance to most of the places.

/We had planned this trip to Cartagena for two years despite the pandemic. I selected this property because it met my criteria of being within the old historic city, modern conveniences, and a feel of Colombia. What closed the deal were the rave reviews about the “concierge” Alan Moore aka James Bond! Simply put he helped take a great trip to magical.I am not going to repeat other’s comments. In our case Alan became part of our family and he shared many restaurant meals with us. Alan has travelled the world and is able to converse on myriad subjects. A true Renaissance man. It helps if you can speak and understand a bit of Spanish.

Everything about this property rental was perfect!! 15 minutes from the airport, within the walls of the old city, 10 minute walk to Getsanami, restaurants, shops and two grocery stores within 5 minutes walk. The home was perfect. The entire home was clean and well kept. But, the real joy of this property was Alan, Raymundo and Liliana. The home is staff by them. Liliana arrived everyday to keep the home tidy, made beds, refreshed towels/linens as needed. Alan and Raymundi were basically our Cartagena concierges. We bought breakfast fixing and they made us breakfast with fresh colombian coffee every morning. They hailed our taxis, booked our private boat, booked our private Aviary tour, made dinner reservations, walked us to the market and helped us shop, took us through a tour of Getsanami poured our wine or cold beer while we lounged in the cooling pool, or living room..and helped with any questions. 5 stars...if you have any thoughts of visiting Cartagena, this home is your answer. We loved every minute of our stay!!! Thank you all ...mucho gracias :)

We had a wonderful visit to Cartagena and it was made even more special through the attention of Alan and Raymundo, the hosts of the property. We were an extended family of diverse ages, and It seemed that our every whim was accommodated with grace and charm. The house is as beautiful as pictured and the location is great. Many thanks for helping make it a truly relaxing vacation for all of us!

Beautiful property with spacious rooms within walking distance to everyone. Alan the host is on sight and made our trip an amazing experience. We had breakfast and coffee every morning and our rooms cleaned. Alan was our tour guide and arranged our transportation, boat reservations and night time activities. He ordered us food and got us groceries and anything at all we needed he was able to accommodate. Alan is your personal concierge and the best part of the trip!! If you are considering the property please book because it is the perfect package!

Just Excellent. Great location, beautiful house, and excellent service

The house was awesome, clean and very well located. The staff are very friendly and helpful, will definitely stay here again when I come back.

The location of this property is outstanding. The house is within walking distance to everything in the walled city and have a supermarket with ATM extremely close to the home. It also sits on a road that receives a lot of the horse & buggy traffic....you can sit outside the front door and watch them drive bye. Stay in the walled city...it is worth it and is so unique and beautiful. Don't stay anywhere else if this house is the size and price you are looking for...just book it with confidence. The best part about this property is the host Alan. He goes out of his way for you and will make sure you are having a fantastic trip. Alan knows the city extremely well and he will give you nothing but the best advice and service. He walked with us and showed us around the city and helped get into the clubs and restaurants. The property itself is great with a lot of space....you won't even know Alan is there except when you wake up and he is ready to cook your breakfast. He also has help from Edmundo who also stays in the house and provides some extra help. Do not be concerned about them being in the house...you will still have full privacy and they allow you to have a lot of fun in the evenings as well for groups travelling and looking for more nightlife. I really can't say enough about Alan...he will help arrange just about anything you are looking to do. I also suggest you go thru Alan if you are looking to charter a boat. We did not and wished we had because the charter sold us one boat and delivered a different one. You want Alan to help with these type of arrangements because he is local and will be sure you get exactly what you want. He is also a very interesting guy...has travelled to 80 countries and is a very engaging and fun person to have around. Thank you Alan for your help making this one of our best guys trips ever!

Incredible trip. The house is exactly as it is described and shown in the photos. Alan and the staff were an amazing addition to our trip. They took care of all our needs during the time there. Great wealth of knowledge, able to assist with booking reservations, and took care of us while at the house. Incredible people, and a would highly recommend staying here. Great location to the mall, bars, and restaurants. Will definitely be visiting again and staying at this property.

This property is an absolute gem! Everything about the property, it’s management and the personal are Fantastic! Allen and his staff made our stay incredible! He guided us to the top bars and restaurants. He even secured us tables and the front of lines when the restaurants and clubs had huge queue. Our group of 5 couples have travelled together for many many years and all over central and parts of South America. I can honestly say that Cartigena, this property and Allen are the best experience we as a group have ever had. This is a must do! As a matter of fact we never do the same trip twice but we may try to make this a yearly experience. Great value for your money and incredibly simple and safe area to explore and spend time.

We spent 11 great days in Cartagena at Paseo Real. Everything was perfect, from the ease of communication, comfortable beds, and amazing staff. Most people reference the staff in their reviews but I have to say it too. Alan, Raymundo, and Lilliana made it so we didn’t lift a finger. They prepared breakfast for us every morning, rounded up stuff our kids left around, made dinner reservations for us, did our laundry when we asked, and more. We traveled with our 3 young kids and while the house is a little tricky with toddlers (stairs and a pool), they really helped make sure the kids were always safe. In fact, Alan and Raymundo has a special bond with our toddler and even got him up in the morning when he cried and gave him milk. Above and beyond! The house is in a perfect location because it’s right by an easy access point to the wall so we spent many nights going for a walk at sundown, and it’s a block from a big grocery store. It’s also a 5 minute walk into Getsemani, and close to everything else in the walled city. The house is a beautiful old colonial home - one bedroom on first floor, a divided 2nd floor with master on one side and 2 bedrooms on the other, a third floor has another bedroom and finally the 4th floor has a beautiful roof deck for cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend staying here! I was sad to leave because we got to know the staff and felt pretty bonded after 11 days. They took such good care of us and made our trip so memorable!

This was the best VRBO experience we have had. The villa is perfectly located within the walled city. Easy walking to everywhere. Beautifully appointed. But the best part is the staff. We cannot say enough about Allen and Raymondo who took care of us in every way. They prepared breakfast, snacks, and drinks whenever we asked. Allen guided us to every restaurant, the best cigar shop, the best Salsa bar and basically looked after us like a mother hen. He and Raymondo made sure we were always well cared for from in house massages to restaurant recommendations and beyond. The villa was spotless, they did our laundry and made up our rooms every day. They alone were worth the price of the villa. We loved everything about Cartagena thanks largely to Allen and Raymondo.

The house was great for our group of 8. The pool was definitely needed as we came during the hot season - it was perfect for adults to stand in and sit. Alan and Ramon great hosts, helping us get wherever we needed and getting reservations. Highly recommend!

A true old walled-city Cartagena experience with the BEST on-site people to help with anything you need. Our family of 8, with ages ranging from 14 to 77, loved our stay in this beautiful house in an ideal location for exploring and experiencing the magic of the walled city. Alan's warmth, helpfulness, and assistance were beyond 5-star. From recommending and reserving the best dinner places, to arranging a spectacular boat ride with an excellent captain to the can't-miss Playa Blanca, to getting us fair taxi rides anywhere we need to go, and even acting as translator and helper when my daughter had to go to the hospital, Alan is just the best! Raimundo was also wonderful, cooking us breakfast every morning, helping with luggage and helping out in general and Liliana's daily maid service was excellent. Each bedroom was truly air conditioned which is a must in hot and humid Cartagena and the plunge pool, which we used at least once a day, was essential! My only suggestion is that the beds have soft toppers as the mattresses were a bit hard. Thank you for a wonderful stay and a great way to experience old Cartagena- highly recommend!

Felt like home. Alan and Raymond treated us like family. Great location. Great food. Great boat trip. Felt very safe and taken care of. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I was in a group of three couples that stayed at this clean, pretty and well appointed house in a quiet part of the walled city. The house has a refreshing plunge pool and attractive furnishings but the reason it was so special was the knowledge and attentiveness of Alan and Raymundo. It was our first visit to Cartagena and Alan’s knowledge of and love for the city made our visit very special. Alan helped us get settled in and he went with us to buy groceries. Then Alan recommended sites and restaurants and made reservations for us. Between the convenient location and quality of the house and friendliness and knowledge of the staff we had a spectacular visit to Cartagena. I can enthusiastically recommend this house to anyone visiting the lovely city of Cartagena.

We came as a group of ten friends celebrating our buddy's upcoming wedding. The house and neighborhood were incredible. The pool/courtyard and rooftop areas were perfect for hanging out day and night, obviously with respect being paid to the neighbors after dark. The bedrooms were large, clean, had their own bathrooms, and the daily housekeeping was immaculate. None of us had ever been to Cartagena before but the house manager and attendant Alan and Raymundo were always available to give us guidance on where to go (or not go), what to expect in terms of cost and just generally help us have the best time possible. Alan even came with us to the grocery store a few times to help us stock up on food and drinks for the house which was amazing. Between the incredible location and quality of the house and the unparalleled service provided by Alan and Raymundo, you couldn't find a better place to stay for a visit to Cartagena. Thanks Alan and Raymundo, I will certainly be back

We are a three generation family of 10 who spent the holiday week in this lovely, well appointed home. Alan and Raymondo took care of everything for us, including doing the grocery shopping and getting us restaurant reservations, tours to the beach and snorkeling. They were up when we came down for breakfast and welcomed us home when we returned from dinner at night. I recommend this property highly with its terrific combination of city and beach life and the most attentive staff.

Gorgeous Colonial house in the heart of old Cartagena. Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped from the peaceful courtyard and plunge pool to the rooftop terrace. The house staff, Alan, Raimundo, and Liliana were unobtrusive but always there to take care of us, making drinks, doing laundry, arranging outings--even guiding us to our destinations. We celebrated Thanksgiving and a birthday here, and could not have been happier.

What a fantastic home. Our house manage Alan was super and was very prompt in his replies and helped to answer all questions, reservations, money exchange, grocery & more. EXCEPT 1 OR 2 NARROW STEPS BY THE 3RD FLOOR BEDROOM, the home is VERY comfortable and equipped with all necessary. Every detail was perfect from the comfortable beds and linens to a well-equipped kitchen. It is immaculate, open air except the bedrooms which are tightly sealed with plenty of AC! The location is absolutely perfect, just couple blocks from grocery & restaurants, etc. - we were able to walk almost everywhere. I would recommend this place to everyone. We were very comfortable and had a fantastic time. We can't wait to go back! The roof has an amazing view and is a great place to all come together. The staff was very thoughtful and helped us a great deal. Tip them well!!

From the time of booking, the host Carmenza was easy to communicate with and set us up for an excellent vacation. Our time in Cartagena was amazing thanks largely in part to the wonderful service Alan and Ry provided us. The house itself is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the location is perfect. You are close to everything, but the street itself is quiet. If I ever return to this city, I will be staying here again. If you have the chance, this is the perfect place to stay in Cartagena.

Everything as advertised. House is maintained in prestige conditions and located within the old city walls. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION... everything within a short walking distance to great restaurants, bars, live music and much more! The real jewel about this property, has to be your house managers Alan & Rey!!! These two gentlemen will make your stay in Cartagena 100% better. They will go beyond the call of duty to ensure you are taken care of. They will take you to the best spots, arrange any transportation means, site seeing, get you food and even pour you drinks. If I can give 10 stars just for them alone, I would. Highly recommend this to anyone trying to book this beautiful home during their time in Cartagena. Will be back!

My family (nine of us) stayed with Alan and Ray for a few days in August. The charming house is constructed around a central courtyard in the Spanish style. All the bedroom windows face inward overlooking the courtyard thereby blocking out any sounds of the street. During our stay either Alan or Ray (and usually both of them) were always available to help with any request such as cooking meals, mixing a drink, shopping, locating a restaurant or finding a specific location. Alan doesn’t just tell you how to get there, he actually takes you there. After we left, we discovered one of our party had left their passport at the house. When we called Alan, he told us that Ray was already on his way to the airport with the missing passport. In many years of travelling we have never experienced such extraordinary service.

Amazing house and amazing service. Great location. The guys in the house helped us with anything we needed, from getting us food, beers and getting a cab for us. I definitely recommend this house for anyone going to visit Cartagena .

The staff and the home were stellar. Engaging and accommodating well beyond what anyone could ever anticipate. Patronize them!

We all had a good time, the staff was amazing and the hospitality was world class!!! Easily one of my best trips ever. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

We came to Cartagena for a bachelor party and the accommodation was perfect for our group of 9. Alan was super helpful both at the house and for recommendations for things to do around town. Thank you!

The property is awesome, excellent location. The property manager Alan and Raymond brought a whole another meaning to the word "customer service". From the moment we came out of the airport until the moment we got back to the airport they were there for every need we had. They showed us the city, came shopping with us, entertained us, and were always there for us. This experience couldn't be any better. I am still fascinated of how Alan and Raymond treat their guests. This is a must go property in the heart of Cartagena just steps from the water, restaurants, and shopping. Alan and Raymond thank you for everything. You made our trip a lifetime experience that we would never forget.

I am one of the women who celebrated her 75th birthday at Posada Real the last week in March and want to ditto everything already mentioned by another woman in our group. It was the perfect place for us to land. The house is spotlessly clean and filled with beautiful art & objects that the owner has collected over many years. Her eye is infallible and added to the pleasure of our stay. I also want to compliment the staff, and especially Alan, who was available to be our guide whenever we wished but also understood when we wanted to venture out on our own to discover the city. At the very least, he sometimes would walk us to our first destination and then let us go on our way. The city is deceiving...small and compact but with zig-zaggy streets and names that changed at every block. Besides accommodations prepare to eat some of the best food you will ever dine on. Some of us were from NYC, Boston and Washington DC & all were bowled over by the creative, fresh cooking we encountered at every meal. Enough. You don't have to look further for your accommodations. You have found them at Posada Real.

Everything was wonderful. The house was amazing! The caretakers were very accommodating. We had a wonderful vacation. Thank you.
