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.

The scrub was surprisingly relaxing & I was like butter by the wrap. Veronica was extremely professional & has wonderful strong consistent pressure without pain. Spa facilities are wonderful. Dry & wet sauna, changing rooms & showers, lounge with a small reading library of books & magazines. If you're not a hotel guest, you can pay a little extra for use of the swimming pool & gym for the day. You can also walk around the hotel lobby & large gardens. I recommend just spending the day here. Next time I want to try the facial & hair treatments also.

The spa at the Four Seasons recently opened to the public (previously it was only for hotel…read moreguests). 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.

Anyone who does their nails regularly knows the true test of a good mani is a week later. This one far exceeded my expectations. I shopped, ate, museums (typical tourist stuff) then had 3 flights home with extra luggage and customs where i had to get my bags, transfer to another flight and then settle on my last leg. One of my bags had broken in transit so i even was carrying it wrapped in plastic (terrible for nails). I've now been home, putting things away and settling in. Its been over a week and my nails still look AMAZING! I wish I lived in Florence for all the normal reasons and now i even have a regular nail girl! Why not move .

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.
