Family-friendly vacation rentals in Retiro

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an Airbnb in Medellín for a week, and it exceeded all my expectations. The property looked even more stunning in person, with beautifully appointed spaces that made us feel right at home. Our host was incredibly accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. However, the true highlight was the house manager, Lucy. She was the heart of our experience, going above and beyond to ensure we were well-fed and comfortable throughout our visit. Lucy kept the house immaculate and was a constant source of warmth and kindness, treating my family and me like one of her own. Her nurturing spirit made our stay truly special. I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough, particularly with Lucy there to make your experience unforgettable!

It's a lovely building and apartment, but it might be time for some TLC. It's starting to look a bit run down. We had a problem with the security person while trying to park our car. He was extremely rude and made fun of me and my family. I texted the host, asking her to contact me the next day to discuss it, but she never did. Everything else was okay.

It is a very nice apartment, excellent location, well equipped in all areas and with condominium amenities such as the pool, Turkish, sauna, gym, restaurant, etc. Great!!!

Excellent place, very clean and cozy. I'll definitely be back.

Great place, rooftop was amazing and the views were incredible

Ivan was great, responsive and generally a nice guy. The unit itself is very unique, spacious and comfortable. Great indoor outdoor use of space. It’s loud at night because the apartment is just at the top of the strip. but with white noise it’s all good. Location is very central to the nice part of Medellín. Great spot overall. Everyone was happy

I’ve stayed in this apartment several times now, and honestly, it gets better every time. On this last trip, I spent nearly a month in Colombia and had an amazing time. The apartment is excellent in every way. It’s very well equipped, comfortable, clean, bright, and located in a perfect area to get around the city easily. You can tell there’s great attention to detail—from the decor to the functionality of the space. At this point, it really feels like home whenever I return. Communication with the host is always quick and clear, which makes the entire experience smooth and worry-free. It’s a place where you can work, relax, and enjoy yourself with total comfort. Without a doubt, this is a 5-star apartment. I fully recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free stay in Colombia. Thank you for making every visit just as good as the last—if not better!

Great place. Peaceful and great staff.

This is a gorgeous place to rest while exploring the city. As it is relatively central to the city, it is easy to go wherever you want. There is so much gorgeous art and natural plants that makes this Bnb a truly cozy and unique place to stay in Medellin. Highly recommended!

Place was really nice not to far from everything and has a lots of restaurants bars as well and prices for this place and for food drinks is amazing! If I come back next year again definitely I will stay in same place is the best!I recommend all the Americans boys girls is just perfect place to be in Medellin

This place was definitely a good choice. Everything was very clean and tidy, I never stopped feeling at home. Thank you Luz and Omar for giving us this second home in Medellín, their warmth and kindness make a difference.

The stay was great, walking distance to everything

We loved our stay at this tranquil, elevated apartment—a 10-minute downhill walk to Provenza’s vibrant scene. The building, one of Medellín’s finest (featured in *Architectural Digest*), ensured peaceful nights, perfect for deep sleep. The unit was immaculate, matching the listing exactly, with thoughtful touches like blackout curtains and a well-equipped kitchen. A grocery store 3 minutes away added convenience. Its quiet neighborhood contrasts beautifully with its prime accessibility: Provenza’s restaurants and Poblado’s amenities are minutes by foot or taxi/uber. Hosts were responsive and welcoming. Ideal for travelers seeking a serene retreat without sacrificing proximity to the city’s best. Highly recommend!

What an amazing place and an amazing family running the location!

Our stay in Medellin was spectacular from the apartment and its beautiful view of the city. It was very easy to get around with Uber, there's a supermarket nearby for the basics you need. Comfortable apartment with everything you need. I would definitely come back again. 😊

This was my second booking at Albertos place within 3 months. I've found that he is a easy host and his home contains absolutely everything needed for a long stay. if you are looking to experience Centro Medellín, then this is the perfect place to stay.

Frank was attentif to the details he let us check-in early and was super available to answer all my questions ! The appartement was great, with a super nice view ! I enjoyed my stay.
