i was on leave from iraq and wanted a nice treat for myself. this place was it! with a calm atmosphere, and genial staff that welcomes you. i wish i wrote this after, but i was back off to iraq 2 days later and went through that whole I got to remember to do something things and am now getting to it. eitherway, i loved my experience. the esthetician and masseuse made me relaxed, and left me ...
I'll get right down to the nuts and bolts. I found this old city spa an oasis amongst the Philly cityscape to be a welcome stop.
As I entered, I was instantly overcome by a sense of calm. I was greeted courteously and professionally.
The experience was charming, invigorating and best of all, tranquil.
an array of services by highly skilled practitioners that renew body & soul. treatments here are one of the best things I do for my well-being.
I was just looking at some reviews around town and happened upon this site. Naturally, I like to check out how my favorite spots are doing and so when I found the insider pages I went to check out Terme Di Aroma. Frankly, I'm a little confused about some of these negative reviews on here. Have these people actually BEEN to this place? I can't even imagine having anything less than a perfectly...
I just wanted to post something for anyone looking for a great spa. I found this place on citysearch and I'd like to "return the favor" if I can. This place is awesome! I was late from work and they were totally able to accomodate me. Man, was I stressed out. As soon as I walked in I knew it was special here--the unique aromas, the friendly smiles and warm greetings from everyone. They even...
Being out of work for the past 3? months has me feeling crappy more times than not these days. So when my friend bought me a gift card for a spa package with the suggestion that I take a vacation from myself I took the hint. To be honest, the vacation I needed was really for my head, and was this ever the right place!
From the moment I walked in I started to feel calm. The atmosphere, muted...
Ok, I have to say that the service at this spa is EXCELLENT! I got stuck in traffic, which made me 30 minutes late, but they still accommodated me and were super friendly and understanding.
The problem is that 1 day after getting a massage that was a bit strong, I can barely turn my neck. I'll have to call them and let them know.
Great atmosphere and amazing service. One thing i did also love was there was openings for me. I cant wait to go again
This place is CHIC! In the scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 20! Customer service is excellent. Normally, I get really antsy spending long hours in spas but Terme Di Aroma made me feel like I never wanted to leave. The spa itself was very relaxing, the combination of the interior design, soft lighting, music made me feel at home. I love the bar they had in the waiting room full of water, juice...
After a few urging and coaxing from a lot of my friends, I finally gave in and made an appointment for a massage at Terme Di Aroma. I blame myself for not going right away. I didn't know what I was missing all these months! As soon as I walked in, I was impressed by the set up of the spa. It was very classy and it had immediately given me a comfortable feeling that I'm going to get my money's...
To be fair I can't complain about the staff....everyone was friendly enough. However from the time I came in....EVERYONE dropped the ball. It was my first time there so I got there early to fill out the intake form, they had me go to the waiting area to fill it out, and I sat there and sat there and no one came and got me. They never showed me to the locker room, I was not given a robe. My therap...
The ambiance was very classy and relaxing. The waiting room was very comfortable, complete with soothing music and lighting. The robe and slippers were very soft and obviously clean. I was greeted by a very friendly, yet professional staff. They made sure I was comfortable in any aspect of this special day spa treat for myself. The massage I got was more than I asked for. My therapist knew e...
I liked the interior a lot. I went there to get relaxed and get a relaxing facial and massage. The massage was fine, but the facial - a nightmare. I had never experienced such a rough facial in my life. The person doing it was very inconsiderate in terms of being gentle and I felt almost like she is annoyed with me or something else. I couldn't wait when it was finally over, and came out with a t...
I had a deep tissue massage with Erin, and I can't describe the difference. My back and shoulders were a mess. It was my first deep tissue massage and I'm sure I'll be back. I haven't felt this good in a long, long time.
Thanks!
After searching for the perfect spa, my mother and I have found a home here at Terme for almost 3 years! The services are similar to the "rittenhouse" type spa but I find Terme's speciality is in the customer service... From the welcoming smiles of the receptionists all the way to the owners- everyone makes you feel comfortable (something you can't find in an uptight pretentious spa). The faci...
I was in once for a deep tissue massage and it was fine, juts not very special. The atmosphere was relaxing - dark and cozy and they served tea, but all in all I would not recommend it.
I would not recommend. I went there once and was very disappointed. There is nothing like paying good money for a deep tissue massage when it is clear the therapist has no massage training. I wouldn't go back.
i went there for my 19th birthday last week. i went in hungry but they kept offering food; i love the little bar they have set up. i came a bit early and they were right on time with everything. the place is set up so it can be peaceful and it really works! i love the smell and the feel of the place. its a bit pricey but really worth it.
This is quite possibly the best spa in the city, as well as the region. Lovely, relaxing atmosphere and highly skilled therapists.
Went here because it won the "best of citysearch", but it was below average to say the least. The price was about going rate; the massage was ok, however, the massage therapist didn?t shut up the entire time; and the atmosphere was quite hokey (too much junk up front and too overcrowded in the back seating area). My friend that went with me said their massage was nothing special (done by another ...
Terme creates a peaceful, relaxing, atmosphere. The staff are friendly, thoughtful and very professional. More than just "services", healing happens here! I've had massages, facials and scalp treatments from multiple therapists and estheticians here; they have all been excellent and each person has his/her own style. Speaking of "his", don't cheat yourself of a Thai yoga massage from therapis...
Everyone here is a professional - from the woman who answers the phone to the therapist that waits outside your door with a glass of water when you finish your massage. I have long used massage as an essential relaxation tool and monthly muscle soother. Terme Di Roma really understands the science of massage, therapists use strong hands and pay special attention to my needs. For the best massa...
I had a decent massage at Terme, but the spa itself is a little weird - after you get changed, you go into the calming waiting area to wait for your therapist. It's fine; you can have tea or juice, but they had, like, pizelles from BJs on the bar, too. Holistic pizelles? The massage was great - hot towels at the end, aromatherapy, the whole deal. I didn't love that I had to go down into the b...
This was my first facial and I am hooked. I cannot remember the name of the girl but she was great. I love the Dr. Haushka products. I can't believe how nice my skin looks. The staff is great and love the atmosphere. top top top!
Terme Di Aroma is a one of a kind experience and I highly recommend a visit! With exceptional staff and tranquil surroundings, it is a somewhere I know I can always turn to when I need a little "get away" from the hustle and bustle of city life. Jim and his staff are wonderful and know how to make every visit special. Thank you for providing a service and experience that I always look forward t...
I have been coming to Terme Di Aroma for five years. I am a big fan. Since my first visit when I had a full day of beauty, Jim and his staff have created an experience that must be seen and felt to be appreciated. Spa Terme is a welcome respite from the stress of life. I have recommended Spa Terme to my friends, bosses and family. All agree, their experience was wonderful. Treat yourself, yo...
While I did receive a nice massage, I was very disappointed by the unprofessional way in which the massage therapist began the massage 15 minutes late and did not make up the 15 minutes. Additionally, the massage therapist had long fingernails that dug into my skin during hand and foot massages.
Overall, not what I expected. My boyfriend spent way too much money to get me an hour and a half m...
I was studying for the CFA exam last winter, and felt extremely overwhelmed the 2 weeks prior to the exam. I was desperate to try anything to get a clear mind. I went to citysearch and found out about Terme di Aroma. I was hesitant at first because I never felt comfortable with strangers touching me. I went anyway because nothing I tried gave me a clear set of mind and the exam was near. I h...
I've been to MANY spas in Philadelphia and NJ...Terme di Aroma is by far the best. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I would be coming back. The receptionist was warm and friendly, inviting us to enjoy a cup of tea and relax in the lounge prior to our services. Jennifer gave an excellent facial, complete with a few tips and tricks to keep my skin looking great in between services. ...
My therapists was Rachel. She was so polite, very warm, calming and compassionate about her role. She really did a great job and I truly appreciate it. I?ve been to 3000BC in Chestnut Hill as well as other places but his was a much better experience. From the time I called to make the appointment (the receiver can make or break a deal based upon their tone and willingness to meet the customer's...
I am very grateful to the people at Terme Di Aroma. I can?t comment on the massage since I never got one but the people at the desk were very friendly. I bought a gift certificate for a special someone and I had to return it for a confidential reason. The people at Terme Di Aroma (especially Maria and Jim) went out of their way to help me. Thank you Terme Di Aroma for your understanding. The next...
When I received a gift certificate to Terme di Aroma I was sceptical about this new place (just moved fr Boston) but went ahead and booked a 90 min facial & aromatherapy body massage + scalp package for my mother. It was rough to park and when we walked into the spa I was a little sceptical of 'not so new' feeling including the dimlit lounge that felt like someone's house. I was used to my regula...
Excellant Service. The salon staff was very professional (i.e. staff members including the manager introduced themselves to the clients personally, suggested the clients take their time to relax in the louge prior to leaving, did not rush the clients, made the clients feel appreciated) The service I received was fabulous (massage)
I will definately go back
I've been going to Terme di Aroma for years for massage. I love the tranquil atmosphere there. The staff is very attentive and professional, and they know what they are doing! I highly recommend this oasis in the City.
I travel a lot-L.A. Miami, Boston, New York and no one compares to the service i get at Terme Di Aroma. I just experienced their new facial Plaisir des Sens 90 minute stone facial. The service there is outstanding. The minute you walk in you are greeted with the smell of the mildy fragrant air-is it lavendar or heaven? The staff is friendly and speaks to you slightly above a whisper to ensure ...
This was such a big dissapointment. We came her from New Jersey expecting a world class spa experience. What we received was terrible. The services were all awful, the place is tiny and there is no available parking gararge. The front desk was quite unpleasant and after all of this the constant "odor" permeating this place was nauseating.The front desk manager ( a young man whose name escapes me)...
Just recieved my first services at Terme Di Aroma and it was the most magical place I've have ever visited. I'm not sure if "selimagodio66" was at the same spa but my experience was totally different. The staff were very professional and my services (massage and facial) were exceptional. The lounge that I relaxed before and after my service was very peaceful. The receptionist were very help...
I found a small part of Europe this week in the heart of philly in a place called Terme Di Aroma. After
motnhs of nudging by my daughters to use my father's day gift I finally took the plunge and booked my
first ever massage and men's facial. What have I been missing! I havne't felt this quiet in my mind and
tension free in I don't know how long. Relaxing in their comfortable lounge with its ...
just went here for my first facial. upon arrival i was escorted into the zen waiting/lounging room, and offered home made apple cider, lemon spring water, or tea. after taking one minute to fill out a no-frills skin survey, i promptly drifted off to sleep...in the waiting room. slightly embarrassing, though no one else seemed to mind. i assume this happens often. the relaxing atmosphere of this s...
Terme Di Aroma is by far the best spa I?ve been to in Philadelphia. I had
tried out a few spas here during my first year of living in the city, but 2
years ago I tried Terme Di Aroma and I?ve never looked back. I?ve seriously
never been anywhere like it. From the second you walk in, you?re surrounded
by green plants, aromatherapy smells, soft lighting and soothing music.
Everything abo...
I went to this highly touted spa. I have been to several other spa facilities including Four Seasons so I write this review with experience. Firstly I was made to wait with no one to ask me if I needed anything for a good 20 minutes. Somewhat weird and embarrasing. The worst part was I got a room (later I read that several other reviewers got this as well) that seriously was a closet. I coulnt ev...
I've tried a lot of different spas in the city however this has got to be the best in philly. The staff is terrific and the services and prices are great. You walked in with the stress of the world and walkout feeling like you can conquer anything. I go once a month and it is fantastic.
Must go!
All of my employees go each year on me!
Best place to rest relax and take care of yourself.
This is just a perfect little spa. We had the best facials,massages and maniciures ever. The staff is so friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
THIS SPA GETS IT RIGHT! THEY TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THERE, SUCH PERFECT LOVING ATTENTION, WARM ATMOSPHERE, LOVELY AROMAS, QUIET RELAXATION, A ND THEY SELL GREAT PRODUCTS, THIS IS A SPA! MY FRIEND HAD FORCED ME TO GO WITH HER AND NOW I WILL GET MONTHLY MASSAGES HERE!
I have visited to the Borgota Spa twice this year. The private rooms were spectacular and who can resist all the bells and whistles? But when it came to a spa get away for total relaxation and retreat from a stressful day, Terme Di Aroma in Old City was the solution! I received a high level of personalized attention, a soothing environment, last minute accommodation efforts and talented massage ...
This spa is just heavenly. The staff is incredibly kind and the space is so serene. You feel like you have left the city behind as soon as you walk thru the front door. The facials are AMAZING and Gail, my aesthetician and owner of the spa, really listened to my concerns and was top-notch in her delivery of my treatments. A must for anyone looking for some rejuvenation!
I went in there yeaterday for my birthday, and it was absolutely amazing. I had first an aromatherapy massage with Mercita, who is amazing and relaxing ( but she can be firm so if you want someone who gentle, perhaps ask for someone else) anyhow then I proceeded to facialist Jessica, who was spectacular. She made my skin come of there glowing for hours on, and she was friendly and I had a great t...
I had a massage and facial here- both were excellent! Great products and employees. I'm not crazy about the front desk people, but the most annoying this is that once you put on your robe your in this waiting room with both sexes- men coming in for treatments or to look at the shop. It felt weird and VERY unprivate.
I had never been to a spa before & this was the perfect place. Tranquil, organized and relaxing. True, I went mid-week, but the staff there is geared toward making you happy.
The massage and skin treatments I received were terrific and it really is an oasis in Philadelphia. Lovely robe & nubby slippers and complimentary beverages and relaxing lounges (there's one in the back too!)
They a...
During my recent vacation in Philadelphia I was pleasantly surprised to find an old world welcome in the Spa Terme Di Aroma. I was feeling exhausted after exploring the sights, with three teenagers,until my feet ached. A lady in the Betsy Ross House recommmended that I visit the Spa Terme Di Aroma, just around the corner on 3rd Street. I was given a very warm welcome to the Spa and a really comfy...
I received a gift certificate for Christmas for the spa and it was the best present I ever recieved! I arrived and was escorted to a very relaxing lounge and offered a cool beverage and a place to change into a robe and slippers. I informed the receptionist I was parked a meter and she offered to put money in my meter since I would be in service over two hours!My massage was amazing and the masse...
Terme Di Aroma is my Sanctuary in Old City. I received a gift certificate for an Aroma Package and had absolutely no idea what to expect. I felt a sincere interest in my needs when I called to schedule and was warmly welcomed when I arrived in this amazing day spa. Words cannot describe my experience. Terme Di Aroma is a beautiful sanctuary hidden ffrom the bustle of the city behind a window drap...
The minute you enter Terme you feel serene. I treated myself for a birthday and had the warm stone massage and a terme facial. I did not want to leave. I loved that they did not pressure you to buy their products, and offered you to just stop in and relax in a serene spot,. I will not go anywhere else, and am planning my next visit.
WELL WHAT A SHAME. I READ YOUR REVIEW AND WENT HERE ONLY TO FIND A SALON WITH LIMITED SPACE,POOR SERVICE,SOMEWHAT RUDE STAFF.THERE IS NO PLACE TO CHANGE OR SHOWER,THE SERVCIES WERE HURRIED AND I WAS LEFT WAITING IN THEIR TINY LOUNGE UNTIL I COMPLAINED. THIS IS NOT A SPA-IT IS A HOLE IN THE WALL.
I stumbled into this spa with aches and pains and received the best massage and facial by Ana & Jessica. I've been living in the city for the past five years and findly found a special place that I can escape from the fast pace of the city and my worries. The spa is serene and warm (not like the other spas in the city). The staff were professional and cordial and I highly recommend Terme Di ...
Had heard so much about this spa.Schedualed a month in advance, couldn't wait to go. The spa itself was really nice. Great atmosphere, but not for me. Upon arival,I was guided to a lounge but offered no place to change, no robe as I noticed on other patrons. I waited in the lounge not knowing what was going on as my apt.ran 20 minutes late. My therapist finaly arrived, whisked me past many very n...
This place has a very relaxing atmosphere and, more importantly, the staff is kind, calm and gives personal service. The sort of place you feel really welcomed in.
This is the best spa in the city!!
Expect to walk out in a complete daze and finding yourself planning the next visit. It's amazing. Every single type of massage is a winner.
I had the most wonderful experience at Terme Di Aroma. If you want to feel like a queen or a king...you must visit this spa. I've heard so many positive things about Terme di Aroma that I had to go. It took me two weeks to get a weekend appointment but now I understand the reason why. The entire staff was so REAL and PROFESSIONAL. I really felt that I walked into Shangri la. Thank you Term...
Incredible, incredible, incredible. This is absolutely the best place to be pampered! I'll never go anywhere else.
Terme is a oasis in Old City, where you walk into a world of serenity and warmth. The ambiance includes soft music, inviting aromas, a wonderful staff and a calm that echos throughout the building. Upon my arrival I was warmed by herbal tea and tempting chocolate pizelle's.
My masseuse Dorothy guided me downstairs for my Herbal Foot Treatment and Aromatherapy Massage, which was heaven! She ...
Out of all the day spas I have visited in Philadelphia, Terme Di Aroma has by far the best atmosphere. The spa smells incredible & has a dimly lit tranquil atmosphere. I had a Thai Massage with Kevin and it was truly an extraordinary experience. In addition, I had the La Stone Therapy & was in total bliss at both of my therapy. The staff is the friendliest in the city that I have seen (I'm freque...
I felt totally relaxed and energized after experiencing Thai massage and Shiatsu at this beautiful day spa!
I recently went to Terme di Aroma for a full body massage & had the greatest, most relaxing experience. It is very tough for me to relax, I am very high strung. I relaxed & loved the ambience. 2 thumbs up!
This European day spa is more than skin deep. It is a place to unwind and just be. I was given the gift of a renewal of Mind Body and Spirit package. During my time at the spa I felt as if my stresses were suspended and time stood still. I highly recommend this spa as a place to unwind and just be.
This is a wonderful place to relax and just enjoy not doing anything for a while. The scents are overwhelmingly delicious and the environment absolutely serene. The staff caters is very friendly and caters to your every need. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an afternoon off to escape the world.
I love this spa! I would recommend it to any one.
I followed the scent when walking past and discovered a spa that feels like a Roman temple. Philadelphia's best kept secret! I relax from the moment I walk through the door. Before I reach the candlelit lounge I feel the healing energy begin to work it's magic. The services are among the best I have ever received!
If you're looking for a sanctuary within the city or anywhere else, Terme Di Aroma is the perfect place. The ambiance, the services (massage and facials) and the staff made my experience a most memorable one. Definitely a place where one feels at home.
