The colonial style tearoom is located in a quiet area of Hua Thanon; it is the perfect place to be for a leisurely afternoon, with fragrant coffee and decadent sweets. There is also a dance school that teaches ballet and jazz dance for adults and kids (4 years old and above). Samui-Villa.com team got in touch with Hans, the man behind this lovely place, to know more about him and Villa Chocolat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.samui-villa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/villa-chocolat.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Chocolat in Koh Samui\" class=\"wp-image-2125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/villa-chocolat.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/villa-chocolat-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/villa-chocolat-630x369.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could you give us a short intro about yourself and Villa Chocolat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For my wife and myself, living in Koh Samui was really like a dream.

Dance is all her life. It was normal for her to start ballet classes even if it can look like an \u2018\u2019atypical activity\u2019\u2019 on this island.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On my side, it was not so easy. In another life, I was an actor\u2026of course, when I came in Samui, I already knew that &nbsp;I couldn\u2019t practice my job anymore and then, I had the idea to develop one of my favourite passion which is \u2018\u2019chocolate\u2019\u2019\u2026and since I am Belgian, it was an evidence to do it with Belgian chocolate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.samui-villa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/v2.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Chocolat in Koh Samui\" class=\"wp-image-2128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/v2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/v2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/v2-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/v2-630x378.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the challenges and what have you learned overcoming them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenges are really big&nbsp;because it is not only a question of business which is working well or not, above all it is more a question of lifestyle.
