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. Luna is amazing but they are all kind and gentle with their guests.

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!

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.

The staff speaks English well and making a reservation on the phone also was no problem. A kit with one-time use flipflops, underwear (and bra) and towel is included, you do have to pay 10 Euros though for the stylish black scrub mitten, which you get to keep afterwards to use at home. I have been to a other very fancy hammam before which was huge so this was very small compared. The overall atmosphere is nice, everything is super clean and lit nicely. The downside is, it's very small and there was only one masseuse so everyone kind of had to "wait in line". You first warm up on a hot stone seat, then you shower, steam room, jacuzzi, repeat. After doing 3 rounds of this for an hour we got kind of bored. Finally it was our turn but then again, my significant other had to wait until I was finished with my massage. We did get the regular washing and scrubbing along with a Rassoul massage which left the skin super smooth. All in all it was a nice experience with super friendly staff but kind of small and a little long for being in a small confined space like that. We did go home very relaxed though and and had a great night's sleep.
