Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda in detail

Hotel

The boutique resort Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda sits above Gargnano (around 6 km away), within a natural park spanning approximately 11 hectares and offering far-reaching panoramic views over Lake Garda. With more than 100 awards to its name, it is among the world’s leading spa hotels and is a peaceful retreat for discerning guests. At its heart is the bespoke Lefay SPA Method, developed in collaboration with an internationally recognised medical team and combining Western science with Eastern teachings. A place for deep restoration, set within stylish architecture that blends with its natural surroundings.

Location & Surroundings

In Gargnano, you can savour the art of doing nothing – the Italian “dolce far niente”. The municipality of Gargnano is made up of 13 small villages, which climb the hillside among palm trees, lemon groves and greenhouses. The main village enchants with its winding lanes and colourful houses, idyllic harbour and pretty lakeside promenade.

Food & Drink

The “Lefay Vital Gourmet” concept places particular emphasis on healthy gourmet cuisine and the Mediterranean diet. The main restaurant, “La Limonaia”, serves an extensive breakfast buffet, followed at lunchtime and in the evening by à la carte dishes that offer a Mediterranean reinterpretation of the best of Italian cuisine. The gourmet restaurant “Gramen” presents a creative, innovative concept for an exceptional dining experience. Lactose-free and vegetarian options are available, as is pescetarian cuisine. Mediterranean dishes are light and low in calories and sodium. Piano bar and pool bar.

Wellness & Spa

The Lefay SPA covers a generous area of around 4,300 square metres and offers a unique “Water and Fire World” for deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Highlights include heated indoor and outdoor saltwater pools and a heated whirlpool, open from April to October. The adults-only area features a panoramic whirlpool and sauna, a fitness and exercise studio, a relaxation area, the “La Luna nel Lago” salt lake with a salinity of 10% (available for an additional charge), saunas, relaxation areas, a cold-water circuit and walking and vitality trails set within an energy-therapeutic garden.

The spa offers a wide range of wellness and beauty treatments, as well as therapies to support wellbeing in cases of stress, fatigue and depression. Specialist services such as osteopathy, medical check-ups and hormone profiling complete the comprehensive offering, creating a holistic wellbeing experience for guests.

Lefay SPA Method

Developed in collaboration with a respected team of doctors from a range of holistic disciplines, this innovative wellness method brings together the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and Western scientific research to support the regeneration and rejuvenation of body, soul and mind. Its aim is to enhance overall wellbeing and health.

Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the world’s oldest diagnostic and therapeutic disciplines. The Lefay SPA Method also draws on the latest Western scientific research into ageing, stress, posture, nutrition and emotional wellbeing.

This combination forms the basis of the Lefay SPA Method, which offers guests wellness programmes, “energetic” massages, rituals and treatments, “scents of Lake Garda”, and wellness and beauty programmes.

Leisure

Gargnano, tucked away on the western shore of Lake Garda, offers a wealth of activities for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet, as well as for active travellers. Known for its authentic Italian atmosphere, this picturesque town is an ideal base for exploring the region’s natural beauty and cultural treasures.

Water sports are a popular pastime in Gargnano. Lake Garda’s ideal wind conditions are perfect for sailing and windsurfing, while swimming and stand-up paddleboarding offer a quieter way to enjoy the water.

Walkers and cyclists can explore the many routes around Gargnano. Trails wind through olive-covered hills, offer spectacular views of the lake and pass through charming villages. Those interested in culture can glimpse the past in historic villas, churches and Gargnano’s picturesque lanes.

Just 6 kilometres away, the 18-hole Golf Club Bogliaco offers hotel guests discounts on green fees.

The best hotel on Lake Garda, or even in the world!!!

This was our second time here, and we’re still just as impressed with this hotel. It starts with the very pleasant, friendly check-in and ends with our car being brought round when we check out. Everything is just right here. The suites are very elegant, extremely comfortable and tastefully furnished. There really is nothing missing. Soaps, skin lotions, complimentary water and daily housekeeping that’s second to none. The cuisine has taken an especially impressive step forward, which is saying something given how good it already was. Every meal is of star standard, and breakfast gets full marks too. There’s absolutely nothing to criticise. The staff were so kind and attentive. I work in hospitality myself, so I treat the staff as if they were my own, and the warmth you show here is returned 100%. The pool area and the service there are also excellent. Every hour, they bring round refreshing towels scented with mint, and the food and drinks by the pool are beautifully presented and delicious. Of course, it all comes at a price, but in my opinion it’s absolutely justified, and we’re happy to pay it because we know what we get in return. The hotel is in excellent condition throughout and is always a joy to see. Even the drive up to reception, with its view of Lake Garda, is incomparable. All in all, we personally consider Lefay one of the best, if not the very best, hotels on the lake, and we’ll definitely be back next year. Our motto is: Once Lefay, always Lefay.

Endroit magique avec vue spectaculaire sur le lac. Personnel très disponible, cordial sans être formel. Médecin MTC extra : j'ai été bluffée par la précision de son diagnostic, énoncé avant même de se dire bonjour !! Thérapeutes compétents, bien qu'un peu trop uniformisés à mon goût. Infrastructures haut de gamme : entre autre une piscine olympique, une piscine dehors-dedans (toutes chauffées), un magnifique sauna panoramique, un parcours santé dans les très beaux et immenses jardins, ... Très bonne communication entre les diverses équipes. Chambres très spacieuses et dotées de tout ce qu'il faut, même si la décoration mériterait une mise à jour. Le seul point qui m'empêche de mettre 5 étoiles ce serait le restaurant et le rapport qualité/prix lorsque, comme moi, on fait une cure. Le coût est très très élevé et on s'attend à des repas d'une qualité gustative exceptionnels, mais il n'en est rien. Quand on a droit à une seule portée à midi et qu'on se voit apporter un minuscule filet de poisson avec quelques légumes vapeur, on se demande ce qui justifie le prix. Pareil pour le soir : deux portées = des gnocchis de petits pois et une glace. De quoi nourrir sa frustration faute de pouvoir nourrir son corps ! Et il n'y a pas de choix possible : le menu ne comporte qu'une entrée, un plat et un dessert. Genre menu du jour dans n'importe quel restaurant. Donc, voilà, je pense qu'ils devraient penser à embaucher un chef rien que pour les plats de régime, car on peut bien mieux faire.
