An American friend of mine who also lives in Vienna, found a fabulous day spa right on the Austrian/Hungarian boarder. We American gals miss our day spa visits, especially manicures and pedicures. In the U.S. a nail salon is right around the corner, and for a reasonable $20 you can get a manicure. Here in Vienna, you’re looking at €40. No way!
The day spa in Hungary is fabulous because of its price. A spa manicure costs €16! Massages €25. Price wasn’t the only positive. Other great aspects were the modern facility, extreme cleanliness, and the other clients. Both men and women of high fashion were swinging the doors of the place as they rushed in and out for appointments. Also another great point. The place is open on Sundays. A great way to prepare for the work week if you ask me.
The only downside of the spa was its business-like efficiency. I was efficiently shuffled from one treatment to the other, with no extra trims for pampering. If you are looking for extreme luxury when going to a day spa, this isn’t the place for you. Also, the staff doesn’t speak English. Almost all of them speak German, but if not that, then you are stuck using hands and feet to communicate.
Overall though, I think the place is fabulous and I intend to go back again and again. Best thing to do is grab a couple of friends to split the gas cost, and jet off for a Sunday.
Men, if you are looking for a gift for the upcoming holidays, the lady in your life will probably appreciate a trip here.
You can also get a manicure for 20 euros in the city at Pure Day Spa
Tuchlauben 11, 1010 Wien (www.dayspa.at)
I received a gift certificate there when i left work. I still have to go there. Sounds really good.
Great to hear you had a good time
The quality of the info is what keeps me on this site, thanks!
Wish You a Merry Christmas.
