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!

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.

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.

There was someone at the front desk on the phone who looked up but then walked to the back of the salon. I knocked a couple of times, but no one came to the door.

And I believe it was the owner who immediately begins yelling at me. Of course I'm going to pay for the service I just got done, I simply just wanted to know why it was more expensive than what I was originally told. I stay calm while she keeps screaming at me telling me I need to be more appreciative, at this point I am completely taken aback by this unprofessional way to treat a client. She keeps yelling at me and tries to chagrge me 70 euros I pay the 60 she originally asked for and leave. Never going back again, the service wasn't even worth this. Don't go here they'll charge you different prices everytime. They treat you with disrespect if you ask a simple question. I am completely upset, saddened, and will never recommend this to anyone ever again.
