You might have an heirloom or important piece of furnishing making a statement at home, but at Colombian hideaway Casa Manantial, almost every carved wooden sofa, wicker bed frame with butterfly-shaped flourishes, intricately tiled side-table, ceramic pot or cheetah sculpture looks like it’s lived a rich, eventful life. The owners certainly seem to have, collecting many pieces on their travels and making this colonial residence in the center of Cartagena’s old town a place of wonder. Here, you’ll have a private pool sheltered behind plant-encased walls, an alfresco lounge for sundowners, and staff to take care of you (including an in-house chef to cook breakfast each day) – the sort of setting where you’ll feel like part of the – and akin to – the well-travelled furniture.
