Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda

The hotel itself was amazing, located high in the mountains with breathtaking views. The spa is probably one of the best, offering plenty of facilities and stunning panoramas. Massages were perfect. The rooms were well-equipped, smart, and very comfortable. Breakfast was of good quality—not the most outstanding, but with everything you need, and the picturesque views made it even more enjoyable. The service was excellent, with professional and friendly staff. There are, however, two areas for improvement. First, the restaurant menu had a limited selection, and the portions were rather small. The pool-bar daily menu was also quite restricted. Considering that without a car it’s difficult to leave the hotel, I would suggest making the dining options more diverse. Second, the hotel’s location can be challenging. If you arrive without a car, you are dependent on the hotel’s shuttle service, as walking elsewhere is not really possible. This means you either spend your time fully enjoying the hotel’s tranquil atmosphere, or, if you want to explore other towns around Lake Garda, it’s much better to come by car. Overall, it was a great experience, and I hope to return here and also to visit the Lefay Hotel in the Dolomites.

This hotel was absolutely top-notch. Having stayed at other 5-star hotels in Italy—which were lovely, but often felt more like 3- or 4-stars in terms of service and amenities—I expected something similar here. I was completely wrong. Lefay exceeded every expectation: elegant, refined, stunning in every detail, with impeccable service. The views are unmatched, the rooms are spacious and beautifully designed (ours even had a private garden overlooking the lake), and the pools, spas, and restaurants were all extraordinary. Even small touches amazed us—for example, when we wanted to play tennis in town, a complimentary shuttle was arranged immediately and was waiting to take us there and back. The gym is on par with (if not better than) an Equinox in NYC, which says a lot. The only mildly confusing aspect was the layout of the hallways and floors relative to reception—I got lost more than once, but honestly, I didn’t mind at all. 10/10. We cannot wait to return.

My wife discovered Lefey after trawling through various travel articles. First and foremost, it is one of the most amazing places we have stayed in on our world travels. I have never been one to sit still for more than 5 minutes. This all changed at Lefey. I won't go into the facilities they are all there on the website. The rooms are very well laid out. As far as I ascertained all have a view of the Lake and what a view. The hotel was refurbished over the last 4 years and our room (502) felt like it could have been decorated yesterday. Housekeeping was top notch. All the staff from the cleaners to the managers were so professional and friendly. A shout out to the restaurant manager (who loved tennis and spent considerable time discussing it with my wife) and Julia who served us on numerous occasions. The hotel has three dining options. A casual lounge bar for light bites (although there is a burger on the menu), La Limonaia is the main restaurant which is also utilised for breakfast and there is a fine dining option Gramen. My wife and I felt that there was a bit of a disconnect on the menus. Gramen is fish, seafood and veggie / vegan. There aren’t any meat options. Having said that, we dined there twice and enjoyed both experiences. The tasting menu was awesome. La Limonaia has a wider ranging menu. Generally the portions are quite small. The exception is the chicken dish which is huge. It is made to share between two people. We would suggest it is suitable for three or even four. There are only two other meat dishes on offer. A rump steak and sous vide pork neck. Breakfast offers a wide range of options with a DIY juicing bar and a live egg station. The omelettes were the best we have ever eaten. However, the bread was very poor. We discovered it was bought in and only Gramen had in house produce (and what a difference). There are no pizzas on any of the menus which we found quite strange in Italy. If you need a fix there is a small restaurant called The Running Club (no idea why) within walking distance at Navazzo. It is safe for pedestrians unlike the the route up to the resort The negatives? Sometimes the service was lacking. An hour and two calls to housekeeping for an ice bucket. The same for a corkscrew. One evening in Gramen we had to chase our cocktails, ask for cutlery and request our wine three times. Non are a deal breaker but they are frustrating at the time. We are already planning a return visit in 12 months. Lefey deserves all the awards it has acquired.
