Casa O - Getsemaní

The smallest house in the collection, and in some ways the easiest. Casa O Getsemaní sits on Calle Espíritu Santo, in the quarter just inside the walls where Cartagena's own evenings happen — music in the plaza, the nightlife along Calle del Arsenal, and the Centro a ten-minute walk away when you want the other version of the city. It takes six guests across three bedrooms and three beds, with an en-suite bathroom on every bedroom, so three couples travel here without anybody drawing the short straw. A jacuzzi sits in the house. Six people is the sweet spot Cartagena rarely offers: most of the old town is either a hotel room or a house built for thirty. This is one of a group of sister houses within the walls, and the one to take when the group is small and the location matters more than the square metres.
