The day of my massage, I got lost trying to get to them in the pouring rain. I arrived to my appointment 1 hour late and soaked to the bone from the rain. They were amazing! Not only did they welcome me with open arms, they took me in right away kept my appointment. Luna was my massage therapist and she was amazing. She did a fantastic job and even made some suggestions on some problem areas that were holding tension. If you are looking for a spa and need a massage, be sure to stop into this place, it's worth every effort to find them, they CARE about the people who find them.

Since we had walked about 100 miles in 8 days were pretty neat up and hoping for more of a deep tissue massage, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options out here, and this spa only had 3 massage options: relaxing oil, reflexology, or thai. The massage we received were relaxing and very good. Perfect if that's what you're looking for.

Never underestimate the strength of a small Thai woman!…read more Given a gift certificate for a Thai Massage from a friend who knew I needed to relax, I thought I'd book this during a particularly difficult work week. I was happy to get an appointment at 6pm on a weeknight since I know the place is very popular and fills up quickly. I've had plenty of Thai massages before, but never in Thailand, or, it appears, from a real Thai lady. I've experienced them from Americans and Italians who have studied in Thailand. So when the guy at the desk asked me if I'd done this before I was like "yeah for sure!". I know Thai massage is pretty hard, but find that most massages aren't hard enough, so I was looking forward to the beneficial effects of activating my energy lines. I was wrong. Never underestimate the strength of a small Thai woman! Apparently - as the man at the desk persisted in telling me afterwards - this is REAL Thai massage, and anything I'd had before was diluted. Into the room I go. I love the soft cotton pajamas that you get to change into, wonder if I can keep them? I settled on to the high wide massage bed - odd, I'd only ever done this on the floor - and started to relax. The walls of the massage rooms don't go up to the ceiling, which is beautifully frescoed so obviously they couldn't wreck that. In the stall next to me, a phone rings. The lady picks up and lies to a client about having just arrived in her hotel in Florence and reschedules their meeting. She puts the phone on silent but not on airplane mode, so that it continues to buzz every 5 minutes. I'd turned mine OFF, as one does in these situations. My masseuse comes in and starts to attack, I mean, massage me. I try to relax, but I find myself trying to crawl away from her off the table. I make little polite noises to indicate that perhaps she might not press so hard. She persists. I cry out in pain and she actually GIGGLES! Clearly she enjoys this. I know it's good for me, but am sure it would be equally beneficial if she pressed just a little less hard. Next to me, the "businesswoman" appears to be having an orgasm. Perhaps she ordered a different type of massage than I did, because she's moaning "that feels so good". I suppress a laugh myself, which turns into a kind of tortured scream. At the end, we're done! yay! The nice lady asks me if i want "final stretch"? I had to ask a few times to understand (stretching finale?). Ok, sure, yeah, a good stretch. Right. She bends me over her knee and cracks my back. Should have said no thank you.

As a tired tourist in need of some TLC, I decided to give Shiatsu a try. I requested an appointment…read morevia Yelp and Maria, the owner and sole massage therapist, quickly responded so that my travel friend and I were able to see her later that same day. In our correspondence Maria was clear about the cost of the treatment and what to expect - 1 hour, wear comfortable clothes, Shiatsu is a Japanese pressure point massage. That said, I knew not to expect a feel-good deep tissue massage. For those familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is like an acupuncture treatment except it uses fingers instead of needles to treat your ailments (which include many problems besides sore muscles). So to begin the treatment, Maria asked me about any specific issues I wanted to address - tight shoulders, trouble sleeping. Maria has a gentle touch and she has a beautiful treatment room with Zen decor which makes for a relaxing experience. Though I wanted to stay awake to appreciate her technique, I found myself lulled into a half-asleep trance, just as I do during acupuncture treatments. This is how I know her treatment was effective. For other non-Italian visitors, Maria is very friendly and speaks English well (she seems to receive many tourists has her clientele). I was her last client for the day and she spent some time chatting with me afterwards. She recommended a nearby restaurant and dishes to try. Thus, that night I both ate well and slept well. Thanks, Maria!

Davide was an outstanding massage therapist. I was in Firenze for a month for my arts/drawing…read moreprogram. I arrived jetlagged from the United States and with the workload and walking and learning new physical skills -- my body was getting a lot of tension. Davide helped me SO much. I must have emailed 5-6 people before arriving -- I knew I'd need a massage therapist while in Florence -- and Davide was very punctual, professional and clear. I love that he comes to you. After a day of walking, standing, drawing, painting and at the art gallery, last thing I wanted to do was walk to a massage studio. He came to me. As others have mentioned, Davide is very punctual, responsible, and kind. I must have gotten around 8 massages from him in my month here -- varying from 1.5 hours to 2 hours in length (I prefer longer massages). He was on time every time, he was consistent, very professional -- and, also, great massage! I was at a rented apartment so as a guy I was worried if it was going to be weird with another guy coming over to massage you. It shouldn't be but you know what I mean. I've had female massage therapists come give me professional massages before but never men. It was never awkward or anything like that. Davide was very professional, everything was perfect -- and great massages! I was having some muscle spasms in my upper back from tension, then had issues with my calves and hamstrings at other times, he was very accomodating and addressed those. I think I got three massages from Davide in my first week here. In the last week I needed only one. Davide was essential in helping my body to relax after a very intense day of learning new and very physical skill. He was the utmost professional -- reliable, polite, punctual and great massage therapists. He was an essential part of me learning new skills in Firenze, I thank him in helping me recover. He definitely is the most professional massage therapist in Florence plus a good man and genuine person! I will see him again when I return to Firenze in a few months and I recommend him highly.

Although not cheap, this has got to be the most luxurious spa I have ever been to, and I would definately recommend it for a special occasion, like a wedding or hen party. I did a facial treatment with their exclusive Rephase products and technology and the following week someone told me she could not believe i was in my late 30s, so I like to think that the facial played a role in this sudden youth, or perhaps the lady in question just needed glasses. In any case, the facial was relaxing and I do think my skin looks firmer as a result. The ambience at this 5* hotel is incredibly classy and the service is unbeatable. It is possible to purchase a day's access to the pool so that after the spa you can hang around here and in the verdant gardens, which really is an oasis in the middle of the city.
