VILLA PAOLA MAUI

Nestled at the entrance to the luxurious Wailea Resort area, Villa Paola is a haven of tranquility and airy Italian delight; truly the most unique Wailea cottage you will find!

Redesigned by artists Alessio and Marcello and luxuriously hand crafted by artisans with old World talent in marble, travertine, mosaics and wood, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath hideaway captures the ambience and classic elegance of a villa in Tuscany. With warm yellow ocher and umber throughout the villa contrasted to the cobalt blue of the saline swimming pool surrounded by lush tropical foliage, you'll debate if you are in the Mediterranean or on Maui.

It's easy to feel as if you have been swept away to Italy when viewing the paintings on every wall that capture the essence of Italian living.

Isn't that the perfect topic to discuss over sunset cocktails at the terrace bar shaded by a custom designed red-wood canopy that lights at night by a moon like fixture. A savory dinner of local fish and vegetables from the farmers market may be prepared in the fully stocked kitchen with top of the line appliances and marble countertops, or brought in from the many excellent eateries minutes away - then lingered over in the charming dining room or on the terrace around an antique Italian table fit for royalty. Your own 5 star Wailea Resort!

After an evening stroll or glass of port, you'll tumble into a restful sleep in the bedroom outfitted with queen bed, down filled pillows and fine European linens. Too happy to fall asleep? Indulge in a little late night TV on either the 52'' or 26'' state-of-the-art 4k screens or online poker with fast wireless internet access.

Bathrooms are your thing? the bathroom is elegantly finished with ivory and sand stone, large-enough-for-two showers and the perfect lighting to admire your tan lines or apply makeup for a night on the town.

When you do tear yourself away from this private oasis, straight down the road (4 minutes American style driving, only 1 minute 37 seconds if you drive like a crazy Italian) you will find one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui; Keawekapu. You also have the option to spend the day at the see- and-be-seen Wailea beach or the all-to-yourself Makena beach. You'll be close to the best accomodations in Wailea; minutes away from the Shops at Wailea, the Grand Wailea, Four Seasons Wailea, and the Kea Lani, where you'll find world class restaurants! When you arrive home, step in to the outdoor relaxing shower.

Feeling a little adventurous? Explore all that Maui has to offer. Majestic views at the top of Haleakala, old-time Hawaii in heavenly Hana, world-class windsurfing at Hookipa, the view of Honolua Bay, one of the best surf spots in Hawaii are just a few of Maui's unique charms. Now that you have discovered the perfect place to stay, it is time to find the perfect place to play - Maui.

Exquisite and magical!

The Twins were fantastic! They were there if needed, but gave us complete privacy. If you’re looking to get away and relax, this really is a getaway from everything. Wailea is close, but we rarely left the property. 5 Stars!

The Villa Paola was ideal for me travelling alone - if anything it was probably more than I needed but it had all the conveniences and the environment that I required. I will definitely be sharing my memories of this Villa with friends and family. Thank you Marcello for a wonderful stay.

Perfect Getaway!

Our stay at the Villa was amazing. A perfect hideaway located on private property with total privacy surrounded by trees and gardens. Outdoor spaces include a bar right off the kitchen, a table for entertaining guests, a barbecue and a swimming pool. The villa was stocked with everything needed for cooking in. It is a 5 star hidden gem. Marcello was the perfect host.

Villa Paola

If you were to take a Tuscan Cottage and put it in Hawaii, this is what you would have. It’s in a fabulous location, minutes from town and the beach is only a mile down the road. It’s super private and has all the amenities needed. Hammock to a deep pool for swimming. The Hosts (Twins) were amazing.

Top rating for Villa Paola

Our two week stay was a joy. We loved Villa's privacy, its spaciousness and character and its beautiful landscaping so meticulously maintained. We swam every day in the private pool. Marcello looked after all our needs while respecting our privacy. A superior alternative to a hotel or townhouse rental. We will want to stay again at Villa Paola. One suggestion - new telephone with extension (with intercom mode) in main bedroom.

Amazing Property, 10/10!

My wife & I visited Hawaii for 6 days ( not long enough) & this was a perfect place to stay. In our opinion, a good central spot on the island. The house was clean from top to toe & the hosts were great. Check in was easy & they were extremely easy to contact should we have an questions.. The Villa is spacious, has a great back yard with lots of space, a grill, sunloungers & a beautiful large swimming pool. The hosts also provided us with beach towels, beach chairs & water equipment which was great because we visited a beach each day. I highly recommend this Villa for a stay in Hawaii. If it is available when we return to the island, we will definitely look to book.

Perfect

Marcelllo was a great host. Communicated effectively and gave us all the privacy we could wish for. The home was great and as advertised. Having the private pool was a definite plus. We felt very safe and welcome at the house. Semi private neighborhood beach with parking was less than a mile away. Wailea was a short 5 minute drive away with plenty of restaurants, beach walk, shopping etc. Thank you Marcelo for being such a great and accommodating host. We look forward to returning.

Truly a Fantastic Cottage

My wife and I are nearing the end of a 15 day stay. This place is fabulous. Super clean, with lots of tasteful furnishings. Surrounded by palms and bamboo, the owners have created a private oasis, with lots of outdoor spaces, two outdoor showers and even a private pool. When we checked in, Marcello gave us his cell phone number and was very helpful. He said: "You will never see me. If you want to see me, you will have to look for me." This was fantastic, as we've experienced other property rentals where the owner seems always to be lurking around somewhere and it can be annoying. The location is less than a mile from a beautiful beach, and there are many others a short drive away. And the WIFI is amazing! Better than our WIFI back in the Bay Area. There are so many other amenities here, like boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc., there are too many to list. We love it, and do not want to leave. Thank you thank you thank you! We will be back. Art and Yumi

Villa Paola

An unbelievable and very unique setting. Although not on the beach ,it is a 2 mile drive to one of the best beaches. The facility is truly a Villa with a front and backyard one of which has a private, (to the renter) saltwater swimming pool. Some exercise equipment, water sports gear,beach chairs, umbrella ect The best part is the owners. They are twin brother artists and the Villa is full of their art. And the building of the facility was based on aesthetics. This along with the lower cost makes this one of the best vacation deals.

Quiet Hideaway

We enjoyed the large outdoor space and private pool. The owners are very responsive and provide drinking water on tap. Lots of great artwork throughout the space. The outdoor bar area is especially nice. The pool is not heated and is very deep so can be a little brisk. Recommend mapping the address on your phone rather than looking at the location in the listing on the VRBO site as the map there is not accurate..

This is a special slice of paradise in Maui. If you're looking for something private, with your own pool, and amazing hosts, look no further. We had an amazing time, despite a couple days of rain and wind. The hosts were cleaning the pool and area before we got back from breakfast! From wonderful recommendations for local dining, to beach and snorkeling options, our hosts were always available and so helpful. 10/10, would absolutely book again!

Wonderfully relaxing and private anniversary trip

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this Maui property and the surrounding area. The apartment offered everything we needed-- a nicely appointed kitchen, comfortable bedroom with sitting area, private swimming pool, laundry facilities and more. It was a short drive to the beaches and to wonderful casual and fine-dining restaurants. Marcello and Alessio were available when we had questions and to offer ideas for activities and dining.We definitely plan to return.
