Bill and Mariam, the hosts were excellent. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. The rental is very beautiful, and the grounds were amazing, safe and secure. If you are looking for a peaceful place off the beaten path, this is the place for you. Would not hesitate to choose this place again. Stocked refrigerator with a few essentials and freshly made plantains by the host were just an added bonus. Can not say enough how beautiful this rental is and they have an exceptional grounds keeper named Caesar that makes the place seem even more safe and secure. All amenities were new and the rental was spotless and clean. Would like to thank Bill and Mariam again for making us feel so comfortable.

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.

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.

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.
