Where can a person get the best massage? How much will it cost by the hour?

Tuscany Day Spa & Salon.

Go there and get a tour of the second floor where their secluded full service spa is located.

Here is their website that has a pull down showing their services:

Tuscany Day Spa & Salon - Hair Stylists, Full Service Day Spa, Full Service Hair Salon

Probably the best in TV and surrounding area.

It's hard to say where is the best because it really comes down to the skills of the individual masseuse. There's a growing number of massage chains in the country, such Massage Envy, some of which are in or around The Villages. They run in the neighborhood of $75 an hour or $40 for a half-hour. Some of the chains really want you to become a member. This gives you a discount on the massages (such as $60 for an hour) but you agree to pay them for one massage a month for as long as you're a member. If you've never had a professional massage, you might check to see if they have an introductory offer available. You might even tell them what you're looking for in a massage? Light and soothing? Deep and strong? Concentrate on your back or your feet or whatever? Do you have a medical condition you're hoping to alleviate? Let them know as each masseuse is more skilled in some areas than others.

One word of warning. Once you've had a really great massage, you're kind of hooked for life. My wife has been getting at least one massage a month for 25 years or more. She swears by them.

They have packages at Tuscany with no expiration and no contract to be stuck in.
