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.

We love staying here and will always stay here as long as we come to Maui. The twins are great. They always make sure you have what you need to have a good time. The swimming pool is awesome. It’s very quiet. It’s very private and we love it. If you’re going to Maui, this is the place you want to stay
Our stay was wonderful with loving the private full saline pool, the location, the full kitchen and front and back patios!! The property was beautiful with all amenities to make our stay complete!
10/10 — An Absolutely Wonderful Stay!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Paola! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and we truly had no issues whatsoever.The place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay—from the coffee and thoughtful amenities to the beautiful pool. The hosts, The Twins, were incredibly easy to communicate with, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. They even graciously allowed us to stay a little past check-out since we had a very late flight, which was such a thoughtful touch and made our experience even better.We felt completely private throughout our entire stay. It genuinely felt like we had the place all to ourselves, giving us the perfect balance of privacy and peace while still having wonderful hosts nearby if we needed anything.We will absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Villa Paola to anyone visiting Maui. 10 out of 10 stars—an amazing place, fantastic hosts, and an incredible value!

Woooow … you guys …!!!
Well what to say .. we do put love into this so it does fells good to feel the love back !!!
Arrivederci !!!!
We had a wonderful stay! The home is decorated beautifully with the owner's own amazing artwork. Everything we needed (and more!) was available to us, from beach chairs and umbrellas, snorkeling gear, outdoor shower, many books to read, and a gorgeous pool! The owner who checked us in was very helpful, giving us recommendations on good local beaches to check out and restaurants too! The home is very private, with lots of beautiful potted palms and trees. It was perfect for our 25th anniversary trip to Maui.

thank you Megan !!! So happy you had good time !!
Arrivederci !!!
My husband and I give this property the absolute highest recommendation possible. Ideal location, very private pool and patio, artistically appointed and handsomely landscaped, a well-outfitted kitchen, and excellent communication with the kind, gracious hosts make this a magical hideaway. Our stay was a serene 6 days and we wished we could stay longer. Bravo Marcello and Alessio!We definitely will return.
A very nice and quiet stay away from crowds and noise. But only a 4 min drive to the beach. Having the pool all to ourselves was a a big plus! The place is well stocked and felt like a home. The host was very helpful and had lots of information which was very helpful, especially since it was our first time in Hawaii. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Wonderful place.. welcoming hosts. Great location for all Maui had to offer. Our hosts gave us the privacy we needed but were attentive to our needs and helpful with directions. Believe me the pictures are exactly as advertised.. we had a lovely time!
In the last 10 years, I have travelled to 20 countries, and stayed at about 50 VRBO or home rental properties. Marcello, the host for “Luxury Cottage w/ Private Pool”, is simply the best host I have ever seen. In almost every way, he went above and beyond. From complimentary treats like coffee beans straight from Italy, to lightening fast communication, to spot on recommendations for restaurants, activities, and more. Marcello is one of the most generous people I’ve had the pleasure to meet, and I cannot recommend his rental oasis enough. The custom decoration of the home make it next level wonderful. The location in Maui is unmatched - close to everything, only minutes drive from the best beaches, snorkeling, and top dining options. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Hawaii. Most highly recommend!!
Talk about a wonderful experience. Upon arrival we met "The Twins" for a quick tour of the cottage we would call home for the next eight days. We loved it all from the art, to the pool, to the comfortable furnishings, to the beautiful bathroom and the outdoor bar.The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was exceptionally clean.Quick easy access to Kihei for beach access, shopping and restaurants.We loved the total privacy of the grounds and pool area. We loved it so much, we are booking again for spring!
Great location-convenient to beaches, restaurants but also very private! Villa set in beautifully landscaped yard. Lovely pool for daytime use and when lit up at night.
Love this guest house! My second time staying at this property and I will certainly stay again upon my next visit. Beautiful home. Super private and quiet and a short drive to the beach.Marcello and Alessio are gracious hosts and most accommodating. Highly recommend staying here.
We enjoy the hospitality of our gracious hosts! The pool and outdoor spaces are absolute paradise.

About the host
Hosted by Marcello
Affectionately known as The Twins, Alessio and Marcello moved to Maui from their homeland, Florence, Italy to windsurf and to pursue their careers as artists. They are like the two sides of a coin. Marcello, the visionary and Alessio, the technician. Together they complete passionate works of art of extreme beauty and originality. The juxtaposition of the classic and the contemporary, the European and the Hawaiian , Villa Paola is the reflection of their pursuit for perfection.
