The wooden gate opens onto a coral stone courtyard that has watched Cartagena for three centuries. Light filters through the colonial arches and falls on original works by Fernando Botero, Ana Mercedes Hoyos, David Manzur, and Ćdgar Negret. Here, you have breakfast, you sleep, and you live among those worksānot behind a cord, but an arm's reach away: a museum that, for once, can be inhabited.
Every morning breakfast is set up in the central garden, under a piece of art that would be behind a velvet rope anywhere else. In the evening, the terrace overlooks the tiled roofs of the walled city, with the wood-fired oven lit.



This house was not decorated: it was curated. Each room, corridor, and bedroom houses an original piece by Botero, Hoyos, Manzur, or Negretāgathered to coexist with those who stay, not to be seen behind glass. Just 150 meters away, in Plaza de Santo Domingo, the Gertrudis of Botero waits in the street: the collection begins before crossing the gate.
In the heart of the walled city. 150 m to Plaza de Santo Domingo and the Gertrudis of Botero. 400 m to the Sanctuary of San Pedro Claver. 1.5 km to the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas.
