Where art lives and history breathes
Five rooms in a 18th-century museum house
When I crossed the gate
A museum that is inhabited
The wooden gate opens onto a patio of coral stone that has watched Cartagena pass by for three centuries. Light enters through the colonnade arches and falls on original works by Fernando Botero, Ana Mercedes Hoyos, David Manzur and Édgar Negret. Here you have breakfast, sleep and live among these works—not behind a cordon, but at arm’s length: a museum that, for once, is truly livable.

The table and the patio
Breakfast is served under the arches of the patio
Every morning the breakfast is served in the central courtyard, under a work that in any other place would be behind a velvet curtain. In the evening, the terrace overlooks the tiled roofs of the walled city, with the wood-burning oven lit.
It's not decoration
The collection is lived,
It is not contemplated
This house was not decorated: it was restored. Each room, each hallway and each room contain an original piece by Botero, Hoyos, Manzur or Negret—assembled to live with those who stay there, not to be seen behind a glass. 150 meters away, in Plaza de Santo Domingo, Gertrudis De Botero waits in the middle of the street: the collection begins before he crosses the gate.
How to get there
In the heart of the walled city. 150 m away, Plaza de Santo Domingo and the Gertrudis by de Botero. 400 m away, the San Pedro Claver Sanctuary. 1.5 km away, the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas.
