Villa Caprichosa, Taboga Island

Description: Villa Caprichosa

Enjoying a fabulous elevated location on the island of Isla Taboga, Villa Caprichosa is a beautiful Italianate mansion, lovingly restored and renovated with immense style and attention to detail by the owner, the world-famous interior designer Diane Burn. Villa Caprichosa offers luxurious, flexible self-catering accommodation in a charming island setting.

Perfect for relaxing stays in boutique-style luxury on this beautiful little island, just twelve kilometres from Panama City, yet seemingly centuries away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, Villa Caprichosa is within easy reach of all the most important attractions of Isla Taboga - many beautiful beaches, Cerro Vigía and Cerro de la Cruz, the highest points on the island, and the San Pedro church, reputedly the second oldest church in the Western hemisphere. Aside from sunbathing on the beaches, and an extensive range of water sports, Isla Taboga is perfect for hiking, cycling, whale watching and wildlife observation, among many other options.

Guests are advised to shop for supplies in Panama before taking the ferry to the island, although there are many delightful little restaurants dotted all over the island. Delicious breakfasts and other meals are available on prior request, created by Villa Caprichosa's private chef. All accommodation is fully air-conditioned, and comes with a full complement of high-tech amenities, including Wi-Fi, mini-bars and coffee machines, and flat-screen TVs with satellite and cable channels.
