Calle de la Artilleria, Cra. 2 #6-68, Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
This exceptional 342 m² (3,680 sq ft) three-bedroom residence perfectly blends character, elegance, and contemporary comfort. Ideally located in the heart of Cartagena’s historic Old Town, it sits within the prestigious Casa del Boquetillo — a remarkable restoration of an 18th-century colonial landmark, just steps from Gabriel García Márquez’s former residence and the iconic Hotel Santa Clara.

This unique property seamlessly combines the charm and architectural grandeur of the colonial era with the sophistication of modern living, offering a rare opportunity to experience timeless beauty in one of the city’s most exclusive addresses.
Casa del Boquetillo – A Historic Landmark Reimagined
Behind the historic walls of Cartagena’s Old Town lies Casa del Boquetillo, a hidden gem dating back to the 18th century. Once a grand colonial residence, it was meticulously restored in 2008 by architect Álvaro Barrera, preserving its soul while transforming it into an intimate collection of just 19 exceptional homes.

Walking through its corridors, time seems to slow down. Original architectural elements, noble materials, and a beautifully restored chapel echo the building’s rich past, while carefully integrated contemporary touches bring comfort and refinement to everyday living.

At the heart of the residence, life unfolds around elegant shared spaces and serene courtyards, opening onto an infinity pool with breathtaking views over the ancient city walls and the Caribbean Sea.

Residents enjoy a curated lifestyle with wellness facilities including a jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, fitness center, and massage room — all within a setting that feels both historic and deeply private.

Casa del Boquetillo is more than a residence — it is a place where Cartagena’s history becomes part of everyday life.
A Private Residence Opening onto Exceptional Outdoor Living
This remarkable 342 m² residence unfolds as a seamless blend of architectural elegance and tropical living. Defined by its generous volumes, fluid layout, and abundant natural light, the apartment has been designed to create a constant dialogue between interior and exterior spaces.

The main living areas extend effortlessly outward, revealing one of the property’s most outstanding features: a spectacular 150 m² private terrace — an exceptionally rare offering in Cartagena’s historic Old Town.

Designed as a true extension of the home, this outdoor space features a private swimming pool (12m x 5m), generous areas for lounging and dining, and a unique sense of openness that contrasts beautifully with the intimacy of the surrounding colonial architecture.

Bathed in natural light throughout the day, the terrace offers a privileged setting to enjoy Cartagena’s climate, whether for quiet moments of relaxation or elegant entertaining. Its scale, privacy, and integration with the living spaces make it a defining element of the property.

A rare outdoor living experience, at the heart of one of the Caribbean’s most iconic historic cities.
