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.
