"Ripristinare" (ree-pree-stee-NAH-ray)
Italian verb that means "to restore" or "to reinstate."
The act of bringing something back to its original state or condition
Offering a serene escape, we are nestled in the idyllic countryside of the Southern Tier Finger Lakes region, conveniently situated between Watkins Glen and Ithaca, NY. Our private day spa retreat, designed by Christina M. Lower, former owner of A Touch of Tranquility Wellness Spa, features two elegantly appointed treatment rooms.
Occasionally, we collaborate with skilled and talented local professionals to enhance our service offerings.
