New to Houston and already found my spa!! – I just moved to Houston from San Diego and was anxious to find a spa to go in the area. Ive visited a small handful of spas that seemed too cold and pretentious. Dolce Vita was a perfect surprise. Loved the small courtyard and artisan feel, the staff is overly cheerful and I felt like I was the only one there. The Classic French was recommended to me and Ill get that one every time from here on out. The facialist even personalized the entire facial towards my skin type, telling me ... read more

So-So Salon – I took the 75 minute swedish massage. It was very very relaxing, but I told the therapist that I had a lot of knots at my shoulders. They're still there. I also had the french facial. Actually, I bought a lot of the products they recommended because I loved the smell texture of the lotions. But during my facial, the girl left my room 3 times without warning. The last time she left for over 15 minutes and I was BURNING up with the heating pad under me. I had to sweat it out until she returned. If I were her, I w... read more

Thumbs up. – Ive been here several times and have never been let down. I have only had massages but enjoyed them all. On one of my visits, my wife and I had a fantastic couples massage in the couples room. Yes, its not the biggest place around but I enjoy the coziness.

Thank You Dolce Vita!!!! – Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day! My husband surprised me and my daughter with a fantasic day here and we will never forget our experience. I still don't know how my husband did it but I am so greatful to him and the staff here. My daughter and I were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. We had a facial, massage and foot treatment and we loved every minute. Thanks again, we'll be back!

Definitely a REAL gem! – I recently visited this spa with a couple of friends and I'm shocked to see that someone had such a bad review of this place. The service, staff and atmosphere was truly fantastic. Maybe people are used to large spas and are not used to getting personal attention. I've been to a lot of spas where I felt overwhelmed by the size and felt that my presence was not acknowledged. I appreciated the feedback and recommendations that the therapists gave me and I really felt like we had the spa to ourselves. T... read more

I Loved My Facial! – I have a wonderful facial with Jessica and two weeks later I still see the results! This is a smaller establishment, a little nook in the wall, so parking is an experience to say the least. There aren't enough "extras" to justify the prices, but I had a good experience and Jessica was extremely helpful w/home care w/o pushing their product lines too much; will try to save for another by the end of the summer. (The online coupon helps, but the mandatory gratuity eats the savings.)

This place is not a real spa, it's a wanna be spa. The setting is a tiny space perched up the stairs of some old building, the rooms are so small you can't move in them, it's dark and somber and not all that cozy. The staff thinks they know it all, but they're not better than anywhere else. Where do they get off charging those prices!!! Don't bother wasting your time getting there, there are others that are much better. They are very pushy about you rating them on this site. They will practically tell you how to rate them, a... read more

Simply great – I organized a bridal shower for my sister, and as part of the weekend plans was a day at the spa. One of my friends recommended Dolce Vita; what a quaint place and the services great. We had a whole day of pampering and their staff made us feel like royalty. We are definitelly coming back!
