About this property
Tranquil Short Term & Extended Stay Vacation Rental outside Cartagena
Casa Mia is a stylish 2-story residence at Villa Camino Alto, located in a private neighborhood off Route 90 between Cartagena and Turbaco, available for a minimum 3-night reservation or extended stay rental (at a reduced rate). Casa Mia is ideal for guests looking for a quiet getaway and features 2 spacious and comfortable bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, full kitchen, study with a pull-out couch and spectacular terrace views of the property and Cartagena and the Caribbean in the distance. Casa Mia accommodates 4 persons privately and an additional 1-2 persons on the pull-out futon in the lounge. Pricing for Casa Mia is for up to 4 persons with a nominal fee for 1-2 additional persons.
Villa amenities include a swimming pool, gazebo, gardens, patio, outdoor grill area, secure entry from the quiet road and private parking. The 3/4 acre property is hilly, has fruit trees and many birds.
Casa Mia is available year-round for persons who seek the tranquility of this outside-the-city environmentally protected area and proximity to historical and cultural Cartagena. Guests may want to check out Cartagena architecture and churches that date to the 1600’s, arts & crafts shops, street vendors, fancy and not-so-fancy boutiques (Colombian leather goods, tapestries & fabric are special features), and stroll the downtown full of people from around the world who gather in parks, sip coffee, and feast on fresh pastries.
The Matute Springs and the Botanical Garden are within an energetic walk as is the Selva Negra Restaurant owned by friends. Spend your stay relaxing poolside, enjoying the terrace views, local food and fauna, going for a walk or hike, picking up coral fossils down the hill or getting into a game of darts.

About the host
Hosted by William, Myriam & Anne-Marie Aycrigg
Our family has developed this property since the 1980's as a vacation home for us which we now have expanded for guests with the addition of Casa Mia.
Why they chose this property
The tropical weather, birds, flora and fauna make this villa a special place to vacation and enjoy the lifestyle of Colombian country living. You can't help but relax here with the gardens, natural spring-fed pool, hammocks and delicious traditional food, including fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the property.

Great Hosts, Beautiful Property
William and Myriam were wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcomed and went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The property is beautiful and exactly like the pictures. The view from the balcony oversees the city of Cartagena. In the morning we were woken up by the sound of diverse types of birds. We highly recommend if looking for tranquility away from the city. Thank you again, William, Myriam and Cesar.
