Had a wonderful stay at Carlos charming home. The home has everything you need and is close to sights. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. This was my second time staying here and loved it all over again !!
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.
The host and staff were responsive , clean and polite. Smooth sailing since the booking. The rooftop pool and ambience were nice . Local to just about everything. I recommend this property.
The house staff was exceptional! Went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and safe.
The property was gorgeous and only a 10 mins walk to the old city!
Can’t wait to recommend to friends back home!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very sweet and accommodating. Its within walking distance to quick food and you feel safe. We will be back again soon!
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!
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
We loved our stay at the casita! The manager Isolina was so incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The rooftop is amazing. I highly recommend!
We stayed for 5 days - 4 people! We had tons of space and truly enjoyed our experience! The pool was really nice! The location was perfect! I would definitely book again! The housekeepers were so kind and looked out for us the whole trip! Highly recommend!
Casa El Carretero met all our expectations! The house staff was professional and very attentive!!
Location to the center plaza is phenomenal (but you’ll hear the nightlife until the wee hours of the morning)! We loved everything about our stay! 10/10 recommend!!!
Place was exctly like described. Worked perfectly for our group of 4. We were initally not sure about having a staff there 24 hours a day, but it was awsome! They were so kind and accomdating and made sure everything was so well-looked after. The staff just made the place that much better. Breakfast was delicious too!
This was a friend getaway vacation. Excellent staff, Issa, Rosoria, and Julio were amazing staff and took care off all of our requests and concerns. The hotel pool was amazing, not big but just the right size for about 5 or so people to enjoy themselves and we did for sure. Would stay again.
