Located in Gargnano, one of the most picturesque villages on Lake Garda, the Lefay Resorts & Spa Lago di Garda is an utterly luxurious wellness retreat. Surrounded by acres of green parkland, olive groves and lemon trees this resort is not just a pretty face; it boasts strong eco-credentials both in its architecture and management practices.

The facilities

There's a choice of restaurants on-site; one serves polished Mediterranean cuisine, the other laid-back bistro fare. The spa area is predictably extensive, with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, choice of treatment rooms, five saunas, steam rooms, a Jacuzzi tub and a fitness centre.

The rooms

Each of Lefay Resorts & Spa Lago di Garda's 90 guestrooms is contemporary and super-luxe, in keeping with its communal areas. All boast private balconies or terraces with views of Lake Garda, marble bathrooms and LCD televisions as standard.
