About this villa rental
La Casa Que Besa El Mar is located in the old city of Cartagena de Indias. It sits unobstructed, with views of the historic Spanish Colonial wall set just in front of the ever expansive ocean. Facing west, the sunset is visible each and every day, with optimal viewing from La Casa’s spectacular mirador (roof terrace).
La Casa Que Besa el Mar is the product of two colonial homes, combined and renovated to create a modern, spacious living environment like no other. Its Mediterranean style architecture allows cool breezes to sweep through open-air spaces throughout the day, providing moments of respite from the healing heat.
The attention to detail can be felt from the moment you arrive, with beautiful artifacts and exquisite furniture—accrued from years of travel—lining every room. Unique spaces designed for eating, talking, reading, tanning, and resting live on all four floors, facilitating the needs of each unique guest.
Every bedroom has its own unique touch, from handmade quilts and paintings from local artists, to brass waterfall showerheads and mosaic walls. They feature their own remote controlled A/C system for custom climate control, although we encourage guests to sleep with their doors open and let the nightly breeze filter in.
The home features five bedrooms, each with their own full bath. A swimming pool on the ground floor, and two lounging pools, including one on the roof terrace for prime sunset viewing. A full-time staff of four awaits to greet you upon arrival and make your stay as comfortable as possible, providing concierge services, from restaurant reservations and in-house massages to boat rentals and day trips upon request.
La Casa is primely located just walking distance from all the old city of Cartagena has to offer and just a 30-minute boat ride from the beautiful white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters of Las Islas del Rosarios. A curated list of must-see destinations and exquisite dining venues will be made available to you and any specific requests are encouraged prior to your arrival.
We hope you can experience La Casa Que Besa El Mar and the beauty of Cartagena.

Amazing location. Staff was fantastic. Food the on site chef cooked was fantastic no matter what meal. Local foods, fresh, healthy and delicious. Stepping in to this location was a real treat, like walking into an art exhibit. Will definitely be back, can’t say enough.

I had a wonderful stay. The location was excellent, and the property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. The attention to detail was remarkable, and Andrea and the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. They exceeded every expectation. I will definitely be returning—and soon. I’m extremely grateful for their attentiveness and for making my vacation truly memorable.

Staying at this multi-story Colombian home in Cartagena for 10 days was a dream. Set along the sea wall, it offers breathtaking views—especially from the master bedroom, where sliding glass doors frame the ocean view.The first floor is striking, with soaring ceilings and artwork that gives the home both warmth and history—think Gabriel García Márquez meets Gauguin. A model boat in one of the main floor bedrooms adds a perfect maritime touch of Cartagena.The rooftop deck, with its small pool and open view of the sea, was our favorite place to unwind. There’s also a larger pool on the main level, complete with a Buddha statue, waterfall, and plenty of sunbeds—ideal for relaxing after exploring the walled city.Andrea and the house staff were exceptional. Mornings began with huevos pericos, arepas, toast, passion fruit and orange juice. The evening empanada gathering (which Andrea arranged), complete with a group salsa session, was a joyful highlight.This is more than a home—it’s an experience. Peaceful, vibrant, and full of heart. Don’t hesitate. Just book.

This trip and home exceeded my expectations in every way. Planned a trip for 10 friends to celebrate a birthday. This home was perfect. Spectacular home - so unique and beautiful. Well located in Cartagena with a magnification view of the wall and sea. The home itself is spectacular. So artfully decorated, spacious and comfortable with so many areas for groups to gather. Staff was so attentive. Andrea was amazing and helped not only with all arrangements for the home but also planning other events in Cartagena including a beach day, catamaran boating day, cooking class, salsa class and even a live band and dinner at the house. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Cartagena itself is a magical town and staying at this wonderful home will make your stay even more memorable.
