I treated my BF to a bath/massage combo as a bribe for joining me on a business trip. We arrived the requested 15 minutes early and the guy at the front desk brought out a number of porcelain jars to explain the different types of baths - after smelling each of the jars we both settled on the Volcanic Mud Bath for not only the therapeutic and detoxifying qualities but for the lavender oil sprinkled on top.
I had requested (for a mere $45) the Couples Treatment which added aromatherapy oil to the 60-minute massage (as well as to-go bath products, chocolates and sliced fruit during the bath and a keepsake bath picture of the two of us covered in bubbles). After smelling all of the aromatherapy oils, the BF chose his favorite, Lavender, and I chose the holiday special scent of Vanilla.
Adriana then took us into a separate cottage and led us through what to expect the next 60 minutes or so. After she left we disrobed and tucked our clothes into a hangar/bag thingie and jumped in our tubs. They smelled lovely but I will admit I had to move around the little (volcanic?) pebbles on the bottom of the tub as they were irritating my hiney. The tub bottom was soft and cushiony, not like your tub at home - very comfy! We drank the entire picture of lemon water and had fun feeding eachother nibbles of fruit and chocolate. A full adjoining bath was in our cottage as well. Adriana softly knocked and popped in occassionally to check on water temps and to replace the cold washcloths on the side of the tub. After the half hour soak we got onto massage tables and laid under the cotton sheets to cool down. She rubbed our feet (coulda used a little more pressure but no biggie); after we got into our robes she led us to our massages.
The BF had some chickie whose name completely evades me, he did enjoy his massage though. Jacob did my massage and he was awesome! This was only my second massage, the first I tried to forget for a number of reasons. Jacob did a great job, some serious pressure (I told him to go for firm) and turned me into a relaxed pile of jelly in no time. My arms kept flopping off the table I was so relaxed! I seriously did not want to leave. But alas our 60 minutes was up...
As I stumbled out into the lobby my BF and little bag of spa goodies (and the bubbles picture) were waiting for me. Our two hours of bliss, including tips, came to about $350.
Ask for Jacob!!

Me & my husband visited the spa for skin care treatment and massage. The spa is located on hw 29. its a small quaint place with a beautiful garden . The bath is approx 45mts(even though they tell u its 60mts) . The attendent is hospitable, she makes sure that all is well by making frequent visits and checking on her clients. Once the bath is completed you walk back in your robe (wish they could find a better way to do it)to the front office where the massuest welcomes you. The massage therapist was excellent, she focussed on my knots in the back. She was one of the best i have come across .
the major drawbacks : the spa has one basic shower . They need a better shower room with added facility like hair dryer etc. You can't expect the client to have a massage and walk away with soggy hair and massage oil on your body.

We had 6 women in town with a Mom's weekend away. The staff was extremely accomodating of all of our requests. They fit all of us in and arranged the schedule so that we would all be finished about the same time. Since we were all doing different packages, this was quite an accomplishment.

All 6 of us had a terrific time which I think says a lot about the overall quality of the spa. The baths which you could do with a friend or significant other were terrific. And then I went to my own spa room in the main house for a massage, foot reflexology, and facial. My therapist couldn't have been nicer or more professional. I couldn't believe that 3 hours had flown by.

And I would have thought that I was lucky to get her. But in talking to my friends, I found we were all equally pleased.

I'm going back with my husband and daughter. I think it's wonderful, relaxing, and unpretentious. I highly recommend the Lavender Hill Spa.

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I vsited Lavender Hill Spa. We both really enjoyed it. The couples bath was great. The bath attendent was so sweet, and truly pampered us. And after having a couple of kids, being alone and pampered doesn't happen too often. Then we both had 60 minute massages. Both of the therapists were wonderful. My therapist checked in about pressure and really focused on the areas that were tight. She was very nice and polite. My husband enjoyed his as well. He looked super relaxed afterward. The spa is small and private, you can feel that staff like their jobs and really care about your experience. After the spa, we walked down to the Calistoga Inn for lunch. This is also a really great place. It was a perfect day for my husband and I. We will be back!!! Whenever the lovely grandparents want a day with the kids.
