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.

Amazing outdoor space.

The apartment was absolutely amazing. The outdoor spaces were stunning with the most gorgeous and prolific plants everywhere. The pool is a soaking pool not a swimming pool but was perfect. We enjoyed cooling off every afternoon in the pool with views of the city and the water and an amazing warm breeze. Location could not have been better. It is close to all the downtown attractions, shops and dining. Parking is easy and safe. The whole building is very safe and secure. The bed is comfy with plenty of pillows. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen seemed well appointed. Overall it is a spectacular place to call homeIn Cartagena. .

Beautiful views

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 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.
