“Let pleasure be the main organiser of your life”

Words from one of the medical consultants at Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda. I’ve recently returned from participating in a 3 night Discovery Package by Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda. A stay that left me feeling truly rejuvenated as well as giving me the opportunity to re discover my true self, my emotions and how I perceived my overall wellbeing. (Take a closer look at Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda’s sister property, Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti, on our Featured Stay page).

Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda is a magical property with wonderful staff. It overlooks the gorgeous Lake Garda, so for someone who thrives in being close to water, I knew I would not be disappointed. There is a special synergy between the mountain and the lake. This area is also known as the Garda Rivieria. Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda offers their guests a complimentary shuttle service to the lake shore throughout the day. I highly recommend a visit to the neighbouring village of Gargnano with its cafes, promenade and quaint shops.

Back on property, Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda has some impressive facilities for the guest. The property has a sense of connection to the surroundings with spectacular views across the lake which will fill you with a real sense of serenity and calm. Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda is divided into three areas the world of Water & Fire, including areas linked to the pools, grottos and small lakes, the Nature and Fitness area and In Silence and among the stars Trilogy in the air. The terraces around the hotel offer beautiful trails among olive and citrus groves as well as a large wooded area allowing total nature immersion. The Spa not only has swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, saunas and steam rooms, there are plenty of relaxation spaces to ensure you restore the balance between mind, body and spirit.

Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda offers a health programme that is unique with programmes like the Discovery Programme helping you transform, change mind set and create awareness in yourself and your health. There are several programmes to help you relax and re balance. Their philosophy has always been associated with East meeting West using classical Chinese medicine with Western scientific research. You will need to go and experience this for yourself under the expert doctors Dr Carlo Barbieri, Dr Stefania Doria or Dr Jader Tolja. Don’t take my word for it – try it out yourself!

Not to be missed is Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda’s restaurant Gramen. Gramen means grass or herb in Latin and the chef has worked with the doctors of the Lefay Spa to create an outstanding menu helping the guest to discover the surrounding nature through what is on their plate. This is sustainable cuisine at its finest.

Lefay Spa is the first spa in Italy to obtain a new certificate from the French organisation ECOCERT recognising the spa and its products within the wellness centre. They received and excellent rating for their unique quality of their Lefay Spa Method Health Treatments & Programmes with their commitment to the training and professional development of their staff, the exceptional comfort in the treatment rooms and the measures they have put in place ensuring sustainable management of the entire building.

The hotel is fully integrated into the local landscape. Inspired by lemon groves, traditional local buildings characterised by original stone and wood pillars it fits in with the landscape with minimal visual impact. The interiors use natural materials from the local area as well as producing its own electricity, heating and cooling through clean, renewable sources using biomass and solar panels.

I will be always grateful for the opportunity of self-care and attention to my personal wellbeing which I experienced at Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda. I feel rebalanced and as if I have found myself again – it’s all really rather Zen.

Please enquire with Travel Matters for details of the Discovery Package and make your reservation with us.
