Consistently voted Northern Nevada's best day spa, Spa Toscana offers Italian-inspired treatments in a lavishly designed Tuscan villa environment. The authentic Turkish hammam treatment using traditional scrubbing gloves (kese) and black soap is a highlight.
Spa Toscana at the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno, Nevada, has held a long-standing reputation as the finest day spa in Northern Nevada, earning consistent recognition in regional hospitality awards over many years. The spa occupies a dedicated wing of the Peppermill Inn designed to evoke a Tuscan villa, with terracotta tiling, warm ochre lighting, hand-painted frescoes, and mosaic-tiled thermal pools creating an Italian-inflected aesthetic rare in a Nevada casino resort. The contrast between the Peppermill's casino energy and Spa Toscana's hushed, warmly lit interior is intentional — this is a genuine wellness sanctuary, not an ancillary amenity.
The spa's most distinctive offering is an authentic Turkish hammam experience, one of the very few outside dedicated hammam studios in the western United States. Traditional kese exfoliating mittens — coarse woven gloves used in Ottoman bathing traditions — and black soap imported from Morocco are used in a thorough full-body scrub after the skin has been softened in the hammam's steam environment. The treatment continues with a warm rinse and deep conditioning application, delivering exceptional skin texture improvement in a single session. The hammam room is appropriately constructed with a heated marble slab and tiled enclosure that maintains steam and ambient heat throughout.
Beyond the hammam, Spa Toscana's treatment menu spans Italian-inspired body therapies including a Prosecco Glow scrub using sparkling wine-derived enzymes, olive oil and grape seed body wraps drawing on Tuscan winemaking traditions, Swedish and deep tissue massage, aromatherapy facials, and foot reflexology. Thermal pools, a steam room, sauna, and a relaxation lounge are available to treatment guests during their visit.
The spa operates by appointment and does not offer walk-in access to wet facilities without a treatment booking. Reno's convention calendar and weekend visitor patterns make Thursday through Sunday the highest-demand booking window. Appointments should be made at least 72 hours ahead for weekend visits. The $80–$250 price range reflects Reno's more accessible pricing compared to Las Vegas Strip properties.

Frequently asked questions
Is Spa Toscana open to non-hotel guests?
Yes, Spa Toscana welcomes day visitors from outside the Peppermill Resort. All services require an advance appointment; walk-in access to the spa or thermal facilities is not available.
What is a kese and how is it used in the hammam treatment?
A kese is a traditional Turkish exfoliating glove made from coarse woven fibers. During the hammam, it is used in long, firm strokes across the entire body to remove dead skin cells after the skin has been softened by steam. The process is followed by black soap application, a warm rinse, and a deep conditioning treatment.
How does Spa Toscana's pricing compare to Las Vegas Strip spas?
Spa Toscana's $80–$250 price range is generally more accessible than Strip competitors, reflecting Reno's different visitor economy. The quality of specialist treatments such as the hammam is considered comparable to premium Strip spa experiences despite the lower price point.
What is the Prosecco Glow treatment?
The Prosecco Glow is a signature body treatment using enzymes derived from sparkling wine to exfoliate and brighten the skin. It is followed by a conditioning mask and is designed as a full-body brightening experience specific to the Spa Toscana menu.
