Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Casa Escallon 18 different from a modern villa?
Casa Escallon 18 is a restored-colonial Walled City mansion with exposed brick archways, antique timber-beamed ceilings, a backlit onyx bar, and a palm-filled central courtyard wrapped by balustraded galleries. It pairs that historic Cartagena character with modern comfort: 18 en-suite bedrooms, air conditioning, a modern island kitchen, two pools, and a rooftop grill.
Does Casa Escallon 18 have two pools?
Yes. Casa Escallon 18 has a rooftop pool above the Walled City rooftops and a separate ground-floor courtyard plunge pool set among palms on terracotta tile. The rooftop also has a marble outdoor kitchen and gas grill under a timber pergola, so the group has a sunny pool terrace and a shaded courtyard pool inside the mansion.
How many people can Casa Escallon 18 sleep?
Casa Escallon 18 has 18 en-suite bedrooms and 19.5 bathrooms, so it is built for large private groups that want everyone under one roof with private bathrooms.

Elite Cartagena confirms exact capacity and bed configuration for your dates during planning.
Where does the group gather and eat together at Casa Escallon 18?
The heart of Casa Escallon 18 is a restored-colonial salon with a backlit onyx bar and a media lounge under antique beams, plus a banquet-length live-edge dining table framed by a brick arch beside the modern kitchen.

What are the bedrooms like at Casa Escallon 18?
All 18 bedrooms are en-suite with private bathrooms and individual air conditioning.

Several bathrooms feature backlit-onyx vanities and walk-in rainfall showers.
What staff and services come with Casa Escallon 18?
Casa Escallon 18 includes daily staff coordination for the stay, including butler service, chef support, housekeeping, and nighttime security. Elite Cartagena can coordinate the rest of the itinerary around the villa: private chef menus, airport transfers, drivers, yacht and speedboat days, restaurant reservations, and VIP nightlife.
How far is Casa Escallon 18 from the Clock Tower?
Casa Escallon 18 is in the Walled City, about a 10-minute walk from the Clock Tower and the main plazas. Restaurants, cocktail bars, nightlife, and historic streets are walkable from the villa, while CTG airport is typically a 15-20 minute drive depending on traffic.

How does booking Casa Escallon 18 work?
After Casa Escallon 18 is confirmed available for your dates, Elite Cartagena sends a written agreement and secure Stripe invoice for the deposit. The quote separates the villa from optional services such as chefs, transport, yacht days, and nightlife, so the group sees what is included before payment.
What local support does the group have during the stay?
Casa Escallon 18 is managed as part of a larger Elite Cartagena itinerary, not as a self-service booking. The local team can coordinate villa staff, grocery planning, transport timing, yacht logistics, restaurant reservations, and nightlife details so the group has one accountable operation during the stay.
