El Candil de los Santos is a beautiful, spacious colonial home just steps from Plaza San Diego and the Hotel Santa Clara . The house was an oasis of calm and tranquility during a very busy wedding week celebrating the marriage of our daughter in Cartagena. Impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated and so very comfortable this is a perfect place for... More

The Candil de los Santos is a beautiful charming property. My family and I stayed there for a week in June 2012. My brother was getting married at the lovely Santa Clara just steps from the Candil. From the beginning, our booking was easy as can be. Robert answered all of my questions regarding the property and location before we... More

We had a wonderful time in Cartagena and at El Candil de Los Santos. The house is old, beautiful and charming and some modern details, such as the illumination of an old well, make it an inviting boutique-hotel. But this classification could be threatened by a sum of problems. We booked a room for 3 people, including one extra bed.... More

Went with a group of 10 and had an amazing time! Great house, beautiful location, owners organized everything. Lap pool was great, the bedrooms were nice, facilities (wi-fi, etc.) were solid. No complaints at all, would stay here again without a question!

We loved our experience at Candil de los Santos. Staff is friendly and discreet. No unnecessary bells and whistles, just a great, clean room with wonderful view of courtyard and Caragena rooftops. Lap pool is a wonderful perk, breakfast is delicious. The location is within a beautifully restored Colonial home in a very convenient location. Edith the house manager is... More

Our stay as Candil was everything we hoped for. The house is a bit smaller than what you see in the pictures, but nevertheless beautiful. The house has 5 comfortable and spotless bedrooms, each with an AC, a private bathroom and a flat screen TV. The living area by the pool is very comfortable. The best part about the house... More

We absolutely LOVED our time in Cartagena. The house was absolutely fantastic. The location was perfect: right across the street from Hotel Santa Clara, easy access to cabs, and near a bunch of great restaurants. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire time there. We couldn’t have been happier with choosing to stay at El Candil de... More
