Casa Pestagua

What the classifiers highlight

Built in the 18th century by the Count of Pestagua and modeled on Moorish palaces, this eleven-room mansion sits inside Cartagena's walled old town. MICHELIN points to the courtyard, its old arches and palm trees, as the place breakfast happens, and to rooms kept airy by high ceilings, large windows and centuries-old dark-wood furniture.
