I had to take a few days to reflect on my time at this home. I traveled with 8 others (friends and family) for what was supposed to be 6 days, 5 nights of travel to Colombia. The house is just as described, however, the online pictures do the house no justice. The house is gorgeous, the grounds are well-kept, and the owner is simply amazing. I maintained contact with the property owner for months prior to our arrival. He always responded promptly. While there, we met Yisela. She cooked most of our meals and assisted with so much more. She is truly a sweetheart that I now consider family. She gave me a personal cooking class and linked me with all the stores I needed while there.
Here is where it gets even better.
On my planned day of departure, my family and I went to the airport and prepared to leave the country. However, our flight had multiple delays and eventually cancelled. The airport staff quickly demanded that we leave the airport. The next flight out was not the next day...however, it was FOUR days later!!! Of course we were all in panic over a cancelled flight, a pending storm in the area, and where in the world we would go.
I immediately contacted both the owner and his brother, Cesar. They were both EXTREMELY graceful to allow us to book an additional 3 nights there. On the last night in Cartagena, we stayed at a hotel closer to the airport. I wish to publicly thank the owner, Cesar, and Yisela for allowing us to return.
Our stay there was memorable.
