Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda

This was our fourth or fifth stay, and it says everything that we still had not had enough and are already planning to return. Lefay continues to set the benchmark for understated luxury and genuine wellbeing. The setting above Lake Garda is exceptional, with sweeping views that immediately slow the pace of life. The architecture and interiors remain calm, elegant, and perfectly integrated into the landscape, creating a sense of space and quiet that is increasingly rare. The spa is, as always, outstanding. Immaculately maintained, thoughtfully designed, and never feeling overcrowded, it remains the heart of the experience. The pools, saunas, and relaxation areas invite unhurried use, while the overall atmosphere encourages you to properly disconnect rather than simply switch off for a few hours. Service deserves special mention. The staff strike a difficult balance with ease: warm, professional, attentive, and never intrusive. Even after multiple visits, the experience feels personal rather than routine, which is no small achievement. Accommodation is consistently excellent, with rooms that are spacious, serene, and impeccably prepared. Small details are clearly considered, contributing to a sense of comfort rather than excess. The food offering is refined and well judged, supporting the resort’s wellness philosophy without ever feeling restrictive. Returning repeatedly to the same resort can sometimes dull the magic. That has not been the case here. Lefay continues to feel restorative, reliable, and quietly special. Few places manage to combine luxury, wellbeing, and consistency at this level. We left once again feeling refreshed, rebalanced, and already looking forward to the next stay.

I think this hotel would be nice if your intention was to go and use the spa and not leave the resort. We used it as a base for exploring Lake Garda which was not an ideal situation. The hotel is located up a very windy road off the main road so is not convenient to anything. The hotel is very dated and in desperate need of an update. The food was average. Service was nice and attentive.

I cannot recommend Lefay highly enough. Everything about the hotel and spa is impeccable, very comfortable and well designed rooms (with pillow menu), delicious food and outstanding spa. I can’t quite explain how very well thought out and executed everything is at Lefay, and I have never experienced such excellent efficient and genuinely friendly staff throughout. Service is personal without being intrusive. And the most stunning views - even in November.

Spectacular resort spa located high above Lake Garda. Really enjoyed the heated outdoor and indoor swimmig pools. Restaurant very good for dinner and the included breakfast buffet had more than enough items to make anyone happy. Room was spacious with large bathroom and with covered patio overlooking the beautifully manicured grounds. We used the included resort shuttle to visit Gargnano for a day and enjoy a 3 hour boat tour of Lake Garda on Consolini Boats.

Beautiful location, excellent hotel design on all scales, knowledgable and friendly staff in all departments. A joy to visit, peaceful and never seems busy
