What to do at Casa Pestagua?
Cartagena is known for its thriving gastronomic scene, pristine Caribbean beaches and vibrant culture.
Spend your days strolling its bustling streets being inspired by the colourful architecture, gorging on fresh seafood and learning about the coastal towns’ rich and layered history.
Whenever the heat of the city gets too much, return to Casa Pestagua, your tranquil oasis. Within its palatial walls, cool off in the pool or find a shady spot in the garden to read. Equally, escape to its private beach club, ACASI, where you can spend the day under a palm tree with a cocktail in hand.
Then, come nighttime, dance the night away in local salsa bars.
