My wife and I, along with another couple and a friend, stayed here for 3 nights for a friends wedding. Carlos was such a great host and the place was absolutely perfect for us. The first floor is great to hang out, have breakfast, lounge in the pool. The bedrooms are big and everyone had their own bathroom. The rooftop was fantastic for the nights with the breeze coming off the sea. Everything is within 15 mins walk. Cannot recommend this place enough.

What a wonderful experience! This house exceeded our expectations. Location was amazing while being centrally located and within walking distance to many fabulous restaurants and shops. The street was off the beaten path from traffic,so it was much quieter than many streets in the neighborhood. The house itself is extremely clean,comfortable,charming and decorated with the most adorable decor .It felt very spacious and we were able to relax comfortably. The pool was a bonus too. We loved going in it in the late afternoons and in the evening after dinner. Rooftop was beautiful ,And a great place to relax with a bottle of wine or just to read a book during the sunny afternoon if you could handle the heat :-) The staff running the house Sondra and Carlos were fantastic. So giving, kind and thoughtful. Plus they were great cooks, and our breakfast each morning was beautifully laid out with fruits, yogurt shakes, pancakes, eggs, etc. We looked forward to it every morning. They also provided daily housekeeping and did laundry by request .The bedroom suites and the main living room were well air-conditioned.
The owner Rasmus was attentive to every email and question .He answered promptly and with detail and could not be more helpful. There was a Sonos system as well, and as I was able to play all my favorite music, a great bonus for us too. Highly recommend this jewel!

The stay was magic. The house was incredibly special and the staff who worked there were wonderful and worked incredibly hard to meet all of our needs. We were there with our 1 year old and their kindness and helpfulness extended to her as well!

This house was absolutely stunning & the pictures really don't do the house justice. I went with 6 of my friends and we absolutely loved the house. The house was very clean, in a prime location with everything walking distance and we all felt super safe. The staff was incredible as well, huge thank you to Carlos, Alicia & Andrea. They exceeded our expectations and provided us with anything we needed - recommendations, incredible breakfast, transportation and really just anything we needed. They made us feel welcomed and at home. Can't recommend this house enough, will be staying here again next time we visit Cartagena!

We had a great time staying in this house. I highly recommend this property. Ms Alicia and Carlos are so helpful and nice. They make our trip easier. I loved having breakfast served every morning. The pool is perfect for the hot afternoons. The rooftop is beautiful! Great for late afternoon drinks or watching the sunset. The house is in great shape, but you can see signs of use in the white walls and in the living room from the AC. I hope there is no damage in the walls. I didn’t know when I booked the property that there were two cats in the house. We love cats, so it wasn’t an issue for us, my son loved playing with them, but I know some people won’t like that. The location is great, everything is walking distance. I hope to go back one day.

Casa Carbonera was even better than the pictures and the description conveyed. Charming, clean, well decorated and best location! It’s located in San Diego which is centrally located in the Walled City but on a quiet street away from the party fray and you can walk everywhere. Two families stayed at Casa Carbonera with 4 adults and three kids (ages 13, 13, 10) and it was perfect. Alicia, Judy and Carlos were awesome and breakfast was delish. Gracias por todo!

The house & staff exceeded our expectations. The house is BEAUTIFUL & spacious and well situated within the old city. Walkable to restaurants, shopping & sites. The house has beautiful common areas that we all hung out in while we were there and the bedrooms were perfect & cool at night for sleeping. The housekeeping & cooking staff were lovely and so helpful. Breakfast every morning and ready to help with anything the whole time. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Cartagena!

Starting with the beautiful property and it’s location. You can literally find restaurants, bars, Taking a few steps, you can walk through “la muralla” as well. The house itself has that old villa style but at the same time it’s super clean and has everything you need for your vacations. I stayed with my family and a 7 years old and he was with a smile all the time, jumping in the pool every time he got a chance. But I want to really thank the staff that works in the house Alicia and Andrea where the top of the cherry for our staying, they made us feel like home treating us like part of their family I can’t not put in words how grateful I feel with them. We also rent the boat that the host recommend us and we have the best time of our lives. The crew in the boat where very attentive and accommodating giving us recommendations for our safety and comfort. I’m so happy and content that I found this RBNB :) Thank you

Ya'll this property is MAGIC! Alicia and Jessi are fantastic hosts. The home is perfectly located. The home is beautiful and welcoming, we felt like it was our own. We rented the house's Boat for a great day at the islands. I cannot recommend this property more!

This property is the ideal spot to relax and take refuge from the bustling Old City. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and a wonderful place to spend time – whether by the courtyard pool, or on the rooftop deck where we were treated to a spectacular view of the New Year fireworks.
Ideally located for exploring the Old City on foot and very close to restaurants, bars and squares that come alive at night.
The staff entirely elevated the experience for us. They went out of their way before our arrival to organize a birthday surprise for one of our party (on very short notice) and the food they cooked for us was delicious. They also helped with restaurant recommendations, organizing taxis, and were above all lovely and sweet to chat to.
Highly recommend!

Very unique and stylish space - you're torn with wanting to stay inside and enjoy the house but, of course, you're in Cartagena to have some fantastic experiences! The interior of the house is beautiful - interesting art, nicely furnished, very comfortable with plenty of private areas to enjoy.
It's located on a quiet street - away from the main crossroads and busy areas within the old city yet close enough that walking anywhere within the wall takes no more than 10 minutes.
The housekeepers (different ones at different times) are wonderful!
A very special place to stay....

Great multi level villa in the center of the walled city in Cartagena. The location is walking distance to basically anything in the walled off historic area.
Pros:
-Location Overall - Walking distance to virtually anything in Walled City
-Location right near Exito Supermarket - A very ideal scenario considering you are living in a villa and probably at the very least will need snacks and bottled water.
-Breakfast is included - The onsite staff make a breakfast daily for all in the house. Quality is solid, but its not restaurant quality. Anyway you slice it though, its convenient.
-On-site Staff - Insegna (Spelling) was very nice and she and Alicia were helpful with breakfast and cleaning. They even did a load of laundry for us. (We obviously tipped them at the end of our stay).
Air Conditioning in Rooms: Worked well and this was great considering how sticky the weather/heat is there
Amenities: Remember you are at a villa. So anything you may need is probably at the villa. Items to cook etc. Also, very helpful to our group was a large cooler to bring out on the boat trips we took. Just ask the staff.
Cons:
-Main Room does not have Air Conditioning: Since the main room opens up to outside air (above the pool) this main room gets very stick and hot, especially during the day. Just be aware you may not want may to chill out in the main portion of the house very often because of this.
-Only 1 Pool: The body of water on the roof is a fountain, not a rooftop pool. We thought from pictures that there were 2 pools. One inside (Swing next to it) and one on the roof. That is not the case and the photos are a bit misleading.
-There were some electrical issues: The lights for the terrace/rooftop upstairs did not work or we just could not find the switch. Also, the Air Conditioning in the family room with the Main TV did not work for a few days while we stayed. The unit broke during our stay.
-House rules are a bit cumbersome with guests: Read them. We didn’t have any visitors so it was not relevant for us....but it would be a nice perk to have people over.
-Front Door: The only way to get in during the day and even late at night is ring the buzzer. Not really an issue, but you feel bad ringing that bell at 2 AM. Even though they tell you its fine, you will feel bad.
Location Address: THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE ENTRANCE IS NOT ON THE STREET THAT IS SENT. IT IS ACTUALLY LOCATED AROUND THE CORNER . It took us a bit to find the villa because of this.

I can’t say enough good things about this home and the staff. Todo perfecto! Every detail of the home is designed perfectly, and the decor and art collection create a breathtaking zen escape.
The staff are warm and professional; they’re always there to help but never intrusive.
Don’t think twice, just book this property and know you won’t be disappointed in any way.

TLDR: Please be advised to limit shower time and potentially limit to one shower per day per person.
My group really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful, the house attendants were responsive/helpful, and everything was as expected... except for the water. I've been to other Caribbean/Central/South American countries and am usually given disclaimers about any issues or potential issues before booking. We didn't receive any notice about potential water issues with this rental and didn't expect any issues given the home is marketed as "luxury".
However, we didn't have running water on two occasions and I'm not exactly sure why. The house attendants told us the tank(s) had to refill on one occasion (as if the water had run out), and on the other occasion we were told it was a citywide issue. However, in both instances a technician was called to the house immediately. And once when we went to dinner around the block the hostess had no recollection of any citywide water outage. Each outage happened at the most inopportune times (upon return from the mud volcano and from the beach). You can imagine our agony. Some of us ended up washing up using jugs of water from the store.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa La Carbonera. It’s a beautiful house with plenty of space and comfort. The device at the house was also impecable. Walking distance to everything. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Like most of historic Cartagena’s finest homes, Casa Carbonerra is an oasis hidden away behind a street-accessible large wooden door. Step right inside to a cooling, green tiled splash pool bordered by a plant covered wall and open air courtyard. There is another small pool/water feature on the rooftop terrace overlooking all of town. The art here is gallery quality and the large formal sitting room even has a full sized piano. We loved the two ladies on staff who took great care of our two children (12 and 8), booked outings and dinner reservations, and even made us a wonderful Thanksgiving meal (we are from the US). I would stay here again and again.

Beautiful home, centrally located in the old district, tastefully decorated Colombian style, with original outdoor layout. The staff was very helpful but discrete, and cooked amazing meals upon request. We were 4 adults and 3 children and stayed comfortably; the children enjoyed the outdoor space and pool. Highly recommended!!!

Staying in Katia's house made our visit to Cartagena a dream. From the get-go, she was extremely responsive and helpful with her communication. When we got there, the property is exactly as described (really, even larger and nicer than I expected), very well located, and beautifully furnished. Whereas many of these kinds of home feel staged, the art and furniture in Katia's home were very tasteful and my friends kept taking pictures of everything for their Pinterest boards. The staff was amazing (definitely have Alicia cook you dinner at least one night), and the perfect balance of attentive and invisible. Only tip here would be that it would be helpful to have at least one person in your group with some very elementary Spanish to communicate with the staff. Alicia also helped me coordinate a boat trip to the islands, which was a very luxurious experience, but well-worth it and the highlight of our trip.
Overall, I would 100% stay here again and 100% recommend to others!

I stayed at Casa Carbonera with a group of girlfriends (7 total) and we had absolutely the best stay! The house is unlike anything I've ever seen, or will probably have the chance to stay at again. It is immaculate, open air except the bedrooms and living room which are tightly sealed with plenty of AC! The location is absolutely perfect, just 2 blocks from the Santa Clara hotel, restaurants, etc. - we were able to walk almost everywhere. Natalie and Edinson were absolutely amazing hosts - running out to get us pizza and drinks when we arrived late from Santa Marta, fresh breakfast in the morning, and super helpful with reservations, directions, cabs, everything! We felt like queens, and are so disappointed to be back in reality, but it was wonderful from start to finish.
Katia and Rasmus were also extremely helpful with recommendations and helping to coordinate travel within Colombia, which would have been impossible to plan in advance without them. Thanks all for an amazing trip!
