Getsemaní Colonial Loft

The Residence

A restored colonial residence in the heart of Getsemaní — Cartagena's most storied neighborhood — where double-height volumes and original arches meet contemporary design, crowned by a private rooftop terrace over the old city.

In the soul of Getsemaní, steps from Cartagena's UNESCO-listed walled city, this beautifully restored colonial residence is a study in old-world character met with contemporary ease. Arranged across three intimate levels, the home opens to a dramatic double-height living space — original timber beams overhead, graceful arches, and hand-laid patterned tile underfoot, all bathed in the warm ochre light of the historic center.

A sculptural staircase rises to a mezzanine-level bedroom suite, framed by the volume below and finished with a refined, design-forward palette. Two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and considered living and dining spaces make the roughly 82 m² feel generous and serene — a private retreat behind the colorful façades of the city's most vibrant quarter.

The crowning feature is a private rooftop terrace: a plunge pool, shaded lounge, and open-air bath set against rooftops and church towers, where Cartagena's golden evenings unfold in full. Restaurants, galleries, and the energy of Getsemaní wait just beyond the door.

Move-in ready and richly atmospheric, it is equally a singular pied-à-terre and a high-performing luxury short-stay asset in one of the Caribbean's most coveted historic destinations.
