Retreat in the heart of it all

Loved the property. Communication was great. The rooftop was a great place to just hang out and relax. Then you could step right out the front door into the heart of Getsemaní. The folks at the house were wonderful, with breakfast and guidance. Would definitely recommend and rebook.

Rare occasion where house is even better than the listing

I stayed here with 7 friends for a bachelor party and we all were shocked at how amazing the place was. The beautiful colonial architecture, the giant palm tree growing through the middle of the house, the insane views from the rooftop pool, prime location to everything in Getsemani. What impressed us most was the staff. Selina, the attentive house manager, took me to get groceries when I arrived, knowing all the best spots, had an ability to get prices this American wasn't getting on his own. She made us fruit bowls, guacamole, and cooked up the fish we caught. She helped us track down items we needed and could provide recommendations or contacts for everything. While we partied on the rooftop, enjoying the pool, Selina cleaned up after us. She made our stay feel special.The night attendant, John, also took good care of the house and made us feel extremely safe. The scammers on the streets of Getsemani got a little too attached to one of my friends and John made sure he knew to stay away and not bother anyone in this house. We slept better knowing he was downstairs. Absolute legend.

Great experience

Stayed at the property for a few days with friends for a get together. Had a great overall experience. Carlos made sure all our questions were answered and provided great input regarding hidden gems in the area. The staff was amazing and very attentive to any needs. No complaints whatsoever. Felt safe with a staff member available at all times. The location was a little tricky as the cab dropped off at the main square and had to navigate myself from there but the property was just steps away.. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend

A very special trip ...

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!

Beautiful property, friendly staff, may be difficult if you have mobility issues

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!

Amazing Place

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!

Vibrant location in a historical home.

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.

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!
