Allow 4 hours for the full tour totaling 19 leisurely miles and the 45 minute boat tour.

Opened in 2012, our 9-room professional massage therapy/spa located conveniently on Route 1 in Guilford, is the perfect place to find peace and quite, along with rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation! Loved and cared for since day one by husband and wife Maria and Mark Schreiber, their daughter Marissa, and her husband Matt Donafrio, this family owned and operated spa getaway is as comfortable and inviting as it gets. Anna says: "I walked in to a very professional, clean, and calming spa environment and met Maria, the owner. She greeted me by name even though it was our first time meeting...the waiting area was dimly lit and tranquil with soothing music. It was a good place to get ready for a massage even if you're filling out paperwork (not too dim for that). Shortly after, the massage therapist came to get me and brought me to the room that was similarly dimly lit and very relaxing. The room was very nice and comfortable and I liked that it had no windows, making it dark enough so zoning out during the massage would be easier to achieve." We specialize in providing the highest quality, most affordable customized massage therapy and skin care to our guests. Julie says: "Thanks for the deep tissue massage last Saturday! Due to the constant stress from my job I felt the need to treat myself. My muscles do not feel as tight in my neck, shoulders and back now. Not to mention, the atmosphere was soothing. Such A cozy place to make a healthy escape :)" What makes us different? Since our doors opened, our only goal has been to introduce the residents of Shoreline CT to the incredible health benefits of massage therapy and quality skin care. From Maria, Mark, Marissa, and Matt, we sincerely look forward to your visit!
