5 Bedroom Villa in Centro, Cartagena De Indias (Distrito Turístico Y Cultural)

La Casa Que Besa El Mar is located in the old city of Cartagena de Indias. It sits unobstructed, with views of the historic Spanish Colonial wall set just in front of the ever expansive ocean. Facing west, the sunset is visible each and every day, with optimal viewing from La Casa’s spectacular mirador (roof terrace).
La Casa Que Besa el Mar is the product of two colonial homes, combined and renovated to create a modern, spacious living environment like no other. Its Mediterranean style architecture allows cool breezes to sweep through open-air spaces throughout the day, providing moments of respite from the healing heat.
The attention to detail can be felt from the moment you arrive, with beautiful artifacts and exquisite furniture—accrued from years of travel—lining every room. Unique spaces designed for eating, talking, reading, tanning, and resting live on all four floors, facilitating the needs of each unique guest.
Every bedroom has its own unique touch, from handmade quilts and paintings from local artists, to brass waterfall showerheads and mosaic walls. They feature their own remote controlled A/C system for custom climate control, although we encourage guests to sleep with their doors open and let the nightly breeze filter in.
The home features five bedrooms, each with their own full bath. A swimming pool on the ground floor, and two lounging pools, including one on the roof terrace for prime sunset viewing. A full-time staff of four awaits to greet you upon arrival and make your stay as comfortable as possible, providing concierge services, from restaurant reservations and in-house massages to boat rentals and day trips upon request.
La Casa is primely located just walking distance from all the old city of Cartagena has to offer and just a 30-minute boat ride from the beautiful white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters of Las Islas del Rosarios. A curated list of must-see destinations and exquisite dining venues will be made available to you and any specific requests are encouraged prior to your arrival.
We hope you can experience La Casa Que Besa El Mar and the beauty of Cartagena.

Summary: Staying at this multi-story Colombian home in Cartagena for 10 days was a dream. Set along the sea wall, it offers breathtaking views—especially from the master bedroom, where sliding glass doors frame the ocean view.The first floor is striking, with soaring ceilings and artwork that gives the home both warmth and history—think Gabriel García Márquez meets Gauguin. A model boat in one of the main floor bedrooms adds a perfect maritime touch of Cartagena.The rooftop deck, with its small pool and open view of the sea, was our favorite place to unwind. There’s also a larger pool on the main level, complete with a Buddha statue, waterfall, and plenty of sunbeds—ideal for relaxing after exploring the walled city.Andrea and the house staff were exceptional. Mornings began with huevos pericos, arepas, toast, passion fruit and orange juice. The evening empanada gathering (which Andrea arranged), complete with a group salsa session, was a joyful highlight.This is more than a home—it’s an experience. Peaceful, vibrant, and full of heart. Don’t hesitate. Just book.

Summary: This trip and home exceeded my expectations in every way. Planned a trip for 10 friends to celebrate a birthday. This home was perfect. Spectacular home - so unique and beautiful. Well located in Cartagena with a magnification view of the wall and sea. The home itself is spectacular. So artfully decorated, spacious and comfortable with so many areas for groups to gather. Staff was so attentive. Andrea was amazing and helped not only with all arrangements for the home but also planning other events in Cartagena including a beach day, catamaran boating day, cooking class, salsa class and even a live band and dinner at the house. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Cartagena itself is a magical town and staying at this wonderful home will make your stay even more memorable.

Summary: Wonderful home for a Holiday getaway to Cartagena. we have a family of 5 including 3 adult children so needed a place large enough for space for each but also central gathering space. The Home is beautiful, with space and charm on all the levels. we ended up spending most of our time on the ground floor open space and top floor overlooking the water. Andrea was a wonderful host, made sure we had transportation to the house, suggesting wonderful restaurant agenda / shopping for the experience. the staff (4 of them !) Carmelo, Muriel, Ciara and Anita were wonderful and took in stride my bad attempts at spanish. Would 100% return to this Casa if / when we return to Cartagena. BTW Colombians are wonderfully warm people and our visit made us want to visit more of the beautiful country. Steve C and family, Charlotte NC / NYC / Chicago USA

Summary: If you are considering a home of this size you will not find a better home, location and staff that make everything perfect. Don’t bother looking anywhere else.

Summary: We had our four adult children, their partners, and our grandson and it will probably be our most memorable family trips. We may have had a bit of a language barrier with our chef and staff but by day 3 we all got in a great rhythm for making our stay even that much better. They made our breakfasts daily, did any laundry and we so helpful even with a language barrier. Andrea our hostess made herself available weeks prior to our stay. Arranged transportation, golf and other outings. Was totally safe and secure. Will go back

Summary: We had an amazing stay at Andrea's place in Cartagena. She was extremely helpful from the moment I booked our trip. We had a group of 11 girls in our early thirties and Andrea made the planning and the actual travel itself ver easy. With Andrea's recommendation, we decided to have several meals during our stay at the house and the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Her place is magical - you'll be lucky if you get to stay here!

Summary: Cannot put into words how incredible this place and the owner/staff are for anyone traveling in Cartagena. The house was immaculate, with stunning views, perfect accommodations and incredible places to gather on every floor. Perfect location in the city as well with ocean views. In addition to the accommodations, the staff are the nicest, kindest group of people who make your stay ten times better. Andrea helped curate the perfect itinerary! She communicated all weeekend to make sure we had what we needed. I Would return to this place a thousand times over.

Summary: We had an absolutely incredible time. The historic home has beautiful outdoor spaces and courtyard style main areas with comfortable air conditioned bedrooms. The outdoor showers, multiple balcony sitting areas and pools allow a group to spread out and enjoy this historic and very conveniently located home in the heart of the old city. The in home cooked breakfasts and lunch were delicious. Would highly recommend adding that service. Andrea (homeowner) was immensely helpful with recommendations and coordinating the plans, too!
