Several of the villas on this page have their own private pool, which is a rare luxury in a city of boutique hotels. Casa Fernandez By Soho is a spacious 8-bedroom villa with a private pool, a short walk from the Walled City's historic centre, while Casa Guerrero offers a 7-bedroom layout with a plunge pool and Jacuzzi steps from the historic center. For groups who want to cook and relax, Casa Del Mar Cartagena has a private pool, garden terrace and free parking, and Casa San Antonio pairs a private rooftop pool with space for six bedrooms. In Getsemaní, Casa Salvatore has a private pool and welcomes pets, so you can bring the whole group, including the dog.
The luxury end of the villa market in Cartagena is about exclusivity and space, rather than a single defining amenity. Casa Fernandez By Soho is the most expensive here, with an 8-bedroom layout, a private pool and a short walk to the Walled City. Casa Guerrero mixes space with indulgence, offering a 7-bedroom villa with a plunge pool and Jacuzzi, steps from the historic center. At the top end of the ratings, Casa Gastelbondo is an adults-only villa with a rooftop pool and exceptional staff — rated 9.7 from 380 reviews. These are places where the house itself is the destination.
Ratings are available for a handful of villas on this page, and three stand out. Casa Gastelbondo leads with a 9.7 rating from 380 reviews, an adults-only villa with a rooftop pool and staff rated 9.9. Casa Baloco follows closely with a 9.4 from 272 reviews, offering a serene villa with a solarium and Jacuzzi, minutes from the walled city. Casa Trinidad By Soho has a 9.0 from a smaller review count, with a hot tub and a short walk to the Walled City and San Francisco Church. The remaining villas have lower ratings or haven't been reviewed yet, so rely on the descriptions to guide you.
For a soak under the Caribbean sky, several villas here deliver. Casa Baloco has both a solarium and a Jacuzzi, set in a serene villa minutes from the walled city and naval museum. Casa Trinidad By Soho features a hot tub, and Casa Turquesa offers a hot tub on Isla De Tierra Bomba, a short ride from the historic center. Casa Guerrero also includes a Jacuzzi alongside its plunge pool. If soaking is a must, check the specific listing to confirm the tub's size and setting, as descriptions vary.
Getsemaní has several villas with pools, like Casa Salvatore and Casa Del Pozo, and it's a short walk to the old town. For a quieter stay with more space, look at Bocagrande or the residential streets beyond the Walled City.
Prices vary widely, from around 37,683 COP per night for Casa Del Pozo to over 5 million COP for Casa Fernandez By Soho. Many mid-range villas sit between 100,000 and 300,000 COP per night.
In this set, pools are almost always private, as the listings specify 'private pool' or 'rooftop pool'. Shared facilities are rare, so check the blurb for each villa to confirm what's included.
Yes, several villas cater to big groups. Casa Fernandez By Soho has 8 bedrooms, Casa Guerrero and Casa Estrella De San Pedro each have 7, and Casa Niza offers 5 bedrooms. Check the individual pages for exact capacity.
Cartagena's villa scene is split between two very different worlds. Inside the Walled City and its cobbled neighbour Getsemaní, you'll find colonial mansions with plunge pools tucked behind heavy wooden doors — places like Casa Gastelbondo, which is adults-only and steps from the old town's rooftop bars, or Casa Del Pozo, a full-house villa in Getsemaní that throws in free salsa classes. These are houses with history, often with just a handful of rooms, and they put you in the middle of Cartagena's most atmospheric streets.
Head towards Bocagrande or the quieter residential streets and the villas change character. You get more space for your money — private pools, multiple bedrooms, gardens and parking — at the cost of being further from the colonial heart. A place like Casa Del Mar Cartagena is a 4-bedroom villa with a private pool and free parking, built for groups who want to cook and relax. And then there's the outlier: Casa Turquesa, a private villa with a hot tub on Isla De Tierra Bomba, a short boat ride from the historic centre.
Villas in Cartagena suit travellers who want the space and privacy of a house — private pools, multiple bedrooms, and a base right in the historic centre.
