We just returned from stay at Casa de Isabella for our son's wedding in Santa Marta. The staff was outstanding - very attentive, going out of their way to accomindate our every need. Our spanish is poor at best, several of the staff spoke english, were mindful of our safety, and were able to point us to some great restaurants.... More

So happy you enjoyed your stay with us and also took the time to offer a review. We have priced Room 1 and 2 at a lower rate as all our first floor rooms to compensate our guests as when we are busy there can be additional noise. We built all rooms with double walls to insulate against noise and... More

We stayed at Casa de Isabella and its new incarnation Casa de Leda for about 6 nights. Without doubt the most comfortable, relaxed place we stayed in Columbia. Staff are always welcoming and smiley. Rooms are beautifully designed and cool. The place is centred perfectly for restaurants in nearby square and became a much needed hub for short trips to... More

This was probably my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. It was so chic and cool and there are so many amenities. They greet you with a glass of juice and they tell you all about the town. You can sit on the upstairs deck and watch the sunset with a cocktail. They have ipads for you to use. The... More

I had some reservations about staying with my family in the old part of Santa Marta on our way to Parque Tayrona. We spent a total of 4 nights here. These were quickly dissipated on arriving. We immediately felt "at home". We stayed in room 10 which is very tastefully decorated, everything works and is immaculate. It has a rooftop... More

Thank you for the great review and also discovering the Old City of Santa Marta. This is why we choose to invest in our hotels here and near Tayrona. The renaissance of the old city is underway with an ecletic mix of restaurants. Although still a work in progress it is not touristy and a true sampling of Colombia. Casa... More

This is a 2nd review of Casa de Isabella, the first one back in November 2011.
