About this property

Casa del Torno - Historic Design Home with Pool in Cartagena

Stay in a beautifully restored 17th-century home in the heart of Cartagena’s Old City. Casa del Torno combines centuries of history with thoughtful contemporary design, a private pool and the warmth of a dedicated local team.

Located in San Diego, just steps from Plaza San Diego and directly across from the iconic Santa Clara, the house is perfectly placed for exploring Cartagena—while feeling like a private retreat once you step inside.

The home features four spacious bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, plus a single bed in one bedroom’s mezzanine. Two of the king beds can also be converted into twins upon request, making the house especially comfortable for families and groups of friends. The house accommodates up to 9 guests.

At the heart of Casa del Torno are its sun-filled private pool, tropical courtyard and beautiful living spaces. Original architectural details—including a historic colonial mural and the house’s namesake torno—sit alongside carefully chosen contemporary pieces, creating a home that feels both storied and alive.

Mornings at Casa del Torno begin with breakfast prepared and served by our team. Daily housekeeping is included, and our dedicated local staff is there to make your stay feel effortless while giving you the privacy to enjoy the house as your own. From restaurant recommendations to island trips and special experiences, we’re happy to help you make the most of your time in Cartagena.

More than a place to sleep, Casa del Torno is a home to experience Cartagena from within—its history, color, warmth and rhythm.
