About this apartment rental
A one of a kind property! This daily maid-serviced apartment is located in the ancient city center of World's Heritage colonial Cartagena de Indias. This Pent House boasts 360 degrees magnificent views over the Caribbean and the most important City monuments, Castillo de San Felipe, Cathedral, the University old Tower, etc, etc. The ocean is so near that you can hear the waves leaping the beach.
While still an apartment, the only one located on the top floor of the building, the property really feels like a single family house, as it is surrounded by your own terraces of 900 sq. m ( 10,000 sq. feet ) and an additional private roof-deck of 260 sq. m. ( 2800 sq. feet ) accesible from your own living-room. On this roof deck there is a built-in private small infinity shallow pool from where you can enjoy the most fabulous Caribbean sunsets.
The apartment has massive built-in gardens throughout where flowers blossom literally every day.
The PH is fully furnished, with internet connection, 84´ smart TV, Wash and Dryer, fully equipped kitchen, linen, etc, etc.
Other amenities include a castle-view outdoor Jacuzzi, imbedded on teak deck, and three gazebos plus outdoor cushioned platforms and beds.
Last but not least the PH includes two maids, one a live-in who cleans and can prepare your breakfast if you do the shopping.

This place was simply breathtaking. Normally pictures in VRBO look more grand than the actual places. This place far exceeded our expectations. Our private verandas were huge and beautiful. A true tropical paradise! Beautiful décor throughout! The friendly staff kept the apartment and verandas spotless daily.

We enjoyed the place alot, the location is centered for walking to restaurants, mall, shopping, ice cream drinks etc in 10 minutes you can reach anything needed , and you feel safe.
The view of Ocean is incredible, sunset is just amazing. Bedrooms are very well airconditioned and at 97 degrees ouside and humidity nearly matching for us was a much needed oasis. Sleeping was easy even in hottest outdoor temps. The apartment has many outdoor sitting options all useful depending on time of day and sun.
Bathrooms clean, Shower nice and bed comfortable.. TV is a nice touch for cooling off also.
The pool is a perfect size and great spot, downside is the birds know about it also.. several times it was unusable due to bird waste.
In house help was good, Rocio who was with us over the weekend was VERY GOOD , better than Eliana. While both were good, she was more attentive & pleasant and kept things cleaner, especially the bathroom cans. The meals made were good all around, Eliana made a garden salad with chicken that was amazing.
Nicholas was a fantastic help, he knew we were early rises and always had the coffee ready at 6 am. The downside is the coffee pot needs an upgrade.
Minor issues really, it was a great stay, great apartment well worth visiting and we would also return. One nice touch is the bodega in entrance way, the small shop had anything you made need and just a quick walk downstairs, which was great for beer, soft drinks, snacks when desired.
Thank you Alberto

Alberto’s penthouse suite is a dream, from rooftop views, to the bedrooms, and his team. He really has put together the perfect ensemble to present a fantastic Cartagena vacation. I not only would recommend this but I will absolutely stay here again. Thank you Alberto!

My husband and I stayed in this lovely Penthouse condo for 1 week - and we're glad we did!! We were stunned by the views!! The terrace is extremely large with lovely plants and a hammock! From there we were able to see shops, the mall, people doing yoga, others walking along the old wall, and many others just enjoying the view of the Caribbean Sea! We have two warnings for visitors to this condo - be prepared for lots of dust and the "pool" is only "toddler depth"!! Leslie, Irina and Jorge were the best! Thank you!
4.8
This is a wonderful place to stay to see Cartagena - centrally located and we moved from area to area on the massive terraces, depending on the time of day. Irina and Jorge took care of all of our needs and were always accommodating. I can't recommend this apartment enough for a wonderful visit to the beautiful city of Cartagena!

I was in contact with Alberto many times, and he was very accommodating!
The condo was fantastic, I can’t say enough about how lovely it was and we felt very at home. Very spacious, with unbelievable outdoor space! Irina, the housekeeper was the nicest person. She prepared breakfast daily and made us fresh juice with all the different fruits we had! Our laundry was done and folded neatly. Great location and you can walk everywhere, it was wonderful!
Would definitely recommend this beautiful condo!!

I could write an entire book about this stunning property but will try to keep it short.
- Location: Right on one of the prettiest and safest areas in Cartagena. We were able to walk to restaurants, stores, and safely move around at night. If you adventure far, it will be easy to come back, everyone knows where the Bóvedas are!
- Pent House: Amazing! So much outdoor space, seating, the fun pool on the roof top was so much fun, fully equipped, plenty of beds, air conditioners inside rooms, fans all over, spacious bedrooms with plenty of closet space, and a cool little store downstairs for your necessities.
- Staff on site: They were amazing and cordial. They will make you feel welcomed!!
This is one of the most beautiful views in town and an amazing place to stay. I can’t wait to go back!!!

Nice clean house, great service by Irina and Jorge

The property is conveniently located just blocks
away from the Serrezuela mall, excellent restaurants and shops. The apartment is very spacious and has beautiful outdoor spaces with amazing views. We wished the pool was a bit deeper but was great to cool off after waking the colonial streets in the heat.
Checkin and checkout processes were seamless, Angelica made sure to touch bases to welcome us and exchange contact information in case we needed anything at all during our stay.
Irina provided outstanding service, always ready to assist with anything we would want, offering to run errands, buy groceries, cook our meals or prepare cocktails.
I would definitely recommend this property and would love to go back!

The maid and staff was amazing helpful
The only problem we had was the place was a little misleading , the private pool was only 2’ deep and listed a hot tub and place did not have a hot tub
The bathroom floor was always wet after a shower no curtain to keep water from splashing on floor
Ac in second bedroom did not get very cold
TV did not work in second bedroom
Other than that was relaxing
4.8
This apartment was just as described clean comfortable and had all the amenities for a great vacation. Both indoor and outdoor spaces were accommodating for two people or a group of friends. We loved it and will definitely be returning.

This is a wonderful property. The staff was very accommodating and helpful

We were very fortunate to have wonderful people like Eglis and Jorge with us.
Jorge was very attentive and Eglis is a wonderful cook.
The property and views were better than the pictures lots of breeze thru out the house and the small pool was very refreshing during the day. Great stores and restaurants nearby.My husband and I will be back with our kids soon.

For a first timer in this amazing city, the accommodations had to be right, but had to be safe (it was). From the start, check in was straightforward and the place was exactly as described and pictured online. What an amazing setup - Lily was great - she really took care of us, the out door space and view was just what we needed and most of all our host Alberto was extremely responsive to our messages before and during our stay - it made a real difference. I would hands down stay there again.
4.8
Love the place so much, Lily and Nicolas were beyond this world. The Apartament is so beautiful. This is one of our best stays ever and we travel a lot worldwide!
We will be back!

I have stayed here 30 times . There is nothing like it. It’s an experience . Perfectoooo
4.8
Our stay was great. The location was central to everything we wanted to do. The many seating areas were ideal for lounging as a family. The housekeeper and gardener were unobtrusive and helpful when needed. The listing indicates the unit sleeps 5 but the accommodations beyond the two beds in the air conditioned parts of the unit weren’t well suited for a 5th adult. They would be better for a kid. If we return to Cartagena we would definitely stay here again.
4.8
I was expecting a lot more… it’s a bit outdated and the “pool” upstairs is a shallow little pond, less than a foot deep. The area outside is nice.
4.8
We really enjoyed our stay. Great location, Maribal and Nicolas were very helpful, wonderful space.

Amazing views , spacious, clean , perfect ,
Only bad thing . If could be fixed master bedroom air condition does not cool . Even with fan in tool and ac stilll hot and humid

Our stay was great! We were comfortable, owner is attentive and staff was professional. It is as stated in other reviews.
4.8
The property is beautiful. It looks as advertised. You get everything that is in the description. Check in was very simple. Maids are more than friendly and beyond helpful. Alberto was as helpful as could be. I did not know he lived in Spain, so once i understood that i was able to communicate with him during times he was awake and he was very responsive. The only thing i did not know before booking was that outside guest are not allowed in if they are not registered before 6pm. That means dont make friends at night thinking they may comeback and hangout with you. That was not a deal breaker though. Everything about the penthouse and location of the penthouse was perfect. Also, the master bedroom is a true MASTERBEDROOM. Fit for a king and queen.
4.8
We had a wonderful time at this unique location in the old city. It was located near the walls and we had a beautiful terrace. The pictures say it all - and Nicolas and Maribelle were wonderful and attentive hosts.
