Welcoming small guesthouse in a superbly located, rambling 18th century house with a shady courtyard garden at its heart.

The welcoming, small Casa de Helda is a converted 18th century house superbly located in Cartagena's colonial centre, just a few steps from pretty Santo Toribio church. Behind a fairly modest colonial façade is an immaculate, large and rambling property centring around a shady central courtyard garden festooned with plants. It has seven simple high-ceilinged rooms, all slightly different in size. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant but does serve a good breakfast on the patio.

What our clients say

  • A lovely hotel in the old city of Cartegena. The owner was an interesting lady but looked after us very well. Service was excellent.

  • Initially we were not so impressed with this accommodation but it warmed on us during our stay. The owner is a character & runs it a bit like a Blackpool…
