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 waken up by the sound of diverste types of birds. We highly recommend if looking for tranquility away from the city. Thank you again, William, Myriam and Cesar.

Wonderful base for family adventure and relaxing
What a marvelous stay we had at Casa Mia at the Villa Camino Alto! It was a perfect retreat for our family- we couldnt have asked for a better experience. We had a week long stay and spent most of it at the property and in Turbacco but also ventured into Cartagena proper a couple days to explore the walled city and seaside areas which was an easy drive away. The property had everything we could need including beautiful flowers and scenery, a pool that we enjoyed multiple times a day, as well as a fully-equipped home. With the 2 stories and 3 bathrooms there was plenty of space for us to spread out and not be on top of each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to make out meals and the outdoor gazebo space was our favorite spot to enjoy the meals. The openness of the home was appreciated in the warm days- even given warm afternoon temperatures, with the windows and doors wide open and fans on we were cool enough to relax in the home. The AC worked great and we utilized that some evenings to cool off as bedtime approached. The beds were comfortable, everything worked as expected, and the property was immaculately maintained. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you Bill and Myriam!!!
¡Qué estadía tan maravillosa tuvimos en Casa Mia en Villa Camino Alto! Fue un refugio perfecto para nuestra familia. Estuvimos una semana, pasamos la mayor parte en la propiedad y en el pueblo de Turbaco, también fuimos a Cartagena para explorar la ciudad amurallada y l

Part two of our ten day stay.
We spent the first 7 days of our stay with our children who only had one week of vacation. My wife and I were then joined by two friends and we stayed another 3 days before moving on to Minca and Santa Marta. Please refer to our previous review for our thoughts about our stay at Bill and Myriam's property. It was a very positive experience.

Perfect quiet retreat
My stay a Casa Mia was the perfect way to relax and recharge. My friend and I were able to spend lazy hours in the hammock, lounging by the pool, hanging in the kiosko and catching the most fantastic sunsets from the balcony.
The property is well cared for and is surrounded by the most lush vegetation. We watched iguanas and birds in the trees (rumor has it sloths are also found in the trees). It’s also not far from the botanical gardens which was even more fun when the monkeys came out to play!
The breakfasts and lunches with fresh juice made by Doris were delicious and an easy introduction to local cuisine.
The owners were very easy to work with and helpful in making arrangements. I will definitely be back for more R&R in the future.
