Hotel Review
Lefay Resort & Spa, Gargnano, Lake Garda
WHAT WE LOVE...
Nestled in 27 acres of leafy park, Lefay is an eco-sustainable resort sculpted into the mountainside. This is one of Italy's very best spa hotels, with personalised wellness programmes and treatments combining Traditional Chinese Medicine with the most advanced techniques of Western science. At the award-winning Spa, you'll find six saunas, a vast salt lake, infinity pool, steam room, ice pool, whirlpool tub, and indoor/outdoor heated pool, while at the restaurants the chefs work closely with nutritionists to provide healthy, ethical and sustainable cuisine. At this holistic temple dedicated to mind and body, it's easy to forget the wider world and retreat inside.

THE DETAILS
Location
The resort was built using eco-sustainable materials with the lake panorama in mind - the views are mind-blowing.
The hotel is set into the mountainside above the picturesque town of Gargnano, on the western side of Lake Garda.
By plane: from London, there are direct flights to Verona and Brescia, both take around 2 hours. The hotel is a 1 hour 30 minute-drive from Verona and 50 minutes from Brescia. Free on-site parking. skyscanner.net
Style & Character
The hotel is designed for guests who want to put their health and fitness first, and are looking to escape from the stress of daily life. There's a varied clientele, from couples to families. The resort was built with the environment in mind, using biocompatible materials. Rainwater is recycled and most of the electricity is produced on site.

Rooms
The Royal Pool & Spa Suite is a pampering haven, with its own infinity pool, private spa with infrared sauna, steam room, chromotherapy shower, treatment area and whirlpool tub. We love that the rooms are designed to maximise the lake views, with large floor-to-ceiling French windows leading onto private balconies or the resort garden.
