This is our favorite place to getaway after a long week at work. The facilities are reminiscent of a first class spa resort at the Park Hyatt, not just a few massage treatment rooms behind a hair salon. This is foremost a place to relax. You really are transported to the Italian countryside. You almost forget you are a few blocks from the Galleria. Bathroom facilities are first rate. My only complaint is no vichy shower. My wife and I have paid the $25 daily fee just to relax for a few hours at the outdoor courtyard pool and grotto pool in the basement (yes, they actually managed to put something in a basement in Houston). Massages are very good. My wife did not like her manicure there though the one time she had it done. Its a truly hidden gem and great romantic getaway.
