LUX PRIVATE POOL PENTHOUSE FACING THE CARIBBEAN IN OLD HISTORIC TOWN!

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 is an amazing property in an excellent location right next to the Old City wall. The outdoor spaces are huge with numerous sitting areas and beautiful gardens. The rooftop pool is perfect for a soak with a glass of wine in the afternoon. We enjoyed watching the many kites flying above us. We were greeted by a property manager, who provided a tour of the property. Iliana helped with laundry, cleaning, and breakfasts (just give her cash and a list of what you would like and she will do the shopping). We would definitely stay here again if we return to Cartagena.

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.

Nice Place with plenty of space
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

Awesome View and Location!!
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!

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!

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!!

The Best Location in Cartagena
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!!!

Excellent Service
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!
