Casa Pestagua
A beautifully renovated 18th century heritage mansion within the historic walled city of Cartagena on the Caribbean coast. The lush gardens and relaxed ambiance is perfect for enjoying one of the most beautiful old cities in Colombia.
This grand, yet warmly welcoming, hotel was the home of the Count of Pestagua and has, for generations, been known to be “the most beautiful house in Cartagena”. Oozing style and charm, the architectural restoration is impressive at the very least.
With 10 high ceilinged, spacious suites and 6 rooms, guests are surrounded by original Spanish colonial architectural features, whilst benefiting from more modern comforts. The Count de Pestagua and Madariaga suites have 3 rooms and terrace with private jacuzzi and views over the city and Caribbean Sea. You may never want to leave!
The white washed courtyard with swaying palms and creeping vines has a central swimming pool. Leading through to a Moroccan styled interior courtyard, framed with tall arches, the new restaurant, Anima, is a particular favourite for “foodies”. The only Relais & Chateaux hotel in Colombia and offers an ancestral gastronomic journey from the Caribbean across to the Pacific coasts of Colombia. Expert mixologists at Bar Anima may become your best friend as they prepare drinks to captivate your senses in accordance with your taste or you can taste their special collection of privately selected Colombian coffee.
Located perfectly to explore the walled city, Casa Pestagua is only a few steps from Santo Domingo Square with it’s impressive church and many terraces and has a number of the city’s finest restaurants and bars nearby. A real joy of a hotel.
