Casa Chocolata

thank you so much Michael for the incredible stay at Casa Chocolata. thank you for sharing a safe and relaxing space for my birthday celebrations. and relaxing by the pool on Saturday was just what I needed while communing with the most impressive Staghorn I've encountered. also my birthday cake was *insane*! I cannot wait to come back for the Jazz Brunch soon and hope to stay at Casa Chocolata again.

A true hidden GEM in St Petersburg! Uniquely decorated home with beautiful grounds, pool, and jacuzzi. Host Chef Michael insured we were pampered during our stay and provided an awesome breakfast each morning of our stay. Highly recommend and truly 5 stars! Thank you Michael, we'll be back!

This is a great find! Michael strives to provide a memorable experience. The house is very cozy and within a quick bike ride of downtown Saint Pete. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering!

Remarkable place with a remarkable host "creating memories!" Michael was extremely accommodating, adjusting for our schedule and providing a special meal for a birthday. He engaged us in fun discussion and activity and allowed us to enjoy his little corner of the world. Don't miss the outdoor shower!

Our experience was similar to the many listings below about Chef Michael & casa Chocolata. He was welcoming, hospitable, kind, & generous to us. We were able to relax while staying there. We would stay there again when needed and if available.

Chef Michael is an amazing host with a lot of charm and special care for his guests. For example, we were served three different breakfasts, one for each day of our 3-day long stay because he wanted to act according to our wishes. The place is conveniently located within a walking distance (at least for us) from downtown St. Pete. It is extremely quiet and allows for and excellent sleep. The pool and the Jacuzzi provide wonderful opportunities as well. Thanks a million!

Our stay at Chef Michael's place was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable! From the moment we met, we felt incredibly welcome and pampered. Chef Michael is not only a wonderful host but also a remarkably talented chef. Waking up to the delicious, freshly cooked breakfast each morning was a highlight of our trip – it was like having our own private gourmet experience! The added bonus of the generous use of E-bikes and the relaxed atmosphere regarding extra special treat made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. And to top it all off, Chef Michael went above and beyond by baking me a beautiful and delicious birthday cake. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that made my birthday truly special. We highly recommend staying here for a unique and exceptional ******** experience.

We cannot say enough about our host Michael and Casa Chocolata. The purpose for a trip was to take care of aging parents. We wanted an escape from that and capture some time for ourselves in the weekend. Casa Chocolata provided that escape with a beautiful home, beautiful land landscaping, and a fantastic host. The moment we entered the house, our energy changed and we were able to relax and had two wonderful nights of sleep. Michael's gift for hospitality made us feel comfortable and looked after without being pushy or hovering. If you are new to B&B's, and want a break from chain hotels, stay at Casa Chocolata.

Michael's house is in a really cute historic neighborhood, great for a walk or ride. His home was very nicely appointed, and very welcoming, maintaining that historic charm with great eclectic and tasteful decoration. The backyard and porch were very comfortable and made for great relaxing. Very generous with the baked treats from his kitchen, they were delightful surprises. Along those lines the breakfast was thoughtful and provided with care; I especially appreciated the coffee. Lastly - a very comfortable bed!

An amazing place located in walking distance to the local gay bars, and Tropicana Field. Michael made sure to make us feel like royalty every morning with fresh coffee, and amazing food. I felt like I was at a resort with the pool, jacuzzi, and nude friendly atmosphere. Thank you for getting the almond milk when I told you I was lactose. You went above and beyond, and I will def be back.
