We are frequent travelers to Maui and have stayed at many types of locations: Grand Oceanfront Hotels, Penthouse Suites, Condos. But, Villa Paola is exactly the secluded retreat we’ve been searching for and is by far our new favorite place!
From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we realized this was going to be an amazing vacation! Villa Paola is completely hidden from view, tucked behind a wall of palm trees, yet, conveniently just steps from our car, for quick and easy access to luggage and groceries. As we stepped behind the palms we were greeted by a massive, beautifully tiled outdoor kitchen, with a huge dining table and bar. We enjoyed cooking and eating our meals in this spacious oasis and took full advantage of the perfect daily weather. The grill was just steps away and could easily be watched while setting the table or making other dishes. We spent most of our time in this area, as the table also served as our remote office space and allowed us plenty of room to spread out. We also enjoyed sunning at the pool. It was the perfect spot to sip a morning coffee or an evening cocktail, and the hammock was my favorite place to star gaze upon the fabulous Maui sky!
The rustle of the breeze blown palms and melodious Hawaiian song birds were so soothing and hypnotic that complete relaxation was inevitable. Abundant naps were enjoyed from every lounge space. It was so peaceful and tranquil that we frequently chose to stay home to enjoy the quiet serenity.
The house and property were much bigger than expected. The kitchen was fully stocked with an abundance of cookware and dishes. The bed was extremely comfortable! Rooms were large, exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. If you appreciate design and attention to detail, then you’ll be impressed by the Italian Craftsmanship, impeccable tile work, and extraordinary Artwork. We were simply blown away when we realized the art pieces were created by the property owners, and part of "The Twins Fine Art Collection".
Our hosts, Marcello and Alessio were simply AMAZING! They are the definition of true gentlemen! Genuine, authentic and the kindest men you’ll ever meet! Upon arrival, Marcello gave us a personal tour, and they both went out of their way to ensure our stay was magical. This was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we've ever had. Thank you Marcello and Alessio for sharing your piece of Paradise! We feel so lucky to have found you and Villa Paola! We will be back!
