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 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. A true tropical paradise! Beautiful décor throughout! The friendly staff kept the apartment and verandas spotless daily.

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!

We were very fortunate to have wonderful people like Eglis and Jorge with us. Jorge was very attentive and Eglis is a wonderful cook. The property and views were better than the pictures lots of breeze thru out the house and the small pool was very refreshing during the day. Great stores and restaurants nearby.My husband and I will be back with our kids soon.

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!

I was in contact with Alberto many times, and he was very accommodating! The condo was fantastic, I can’t say enough about how lovely it was and we felt very at home. 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!!
