Overlooking Lake Garda, 5-star Lefay Resort and Spa re-opens with a spectacular new look

Longing for a luxury break at Lake Garda? Then bookmark the Lefay Resort & Spa Lago di Garda, which reopened its doors to guests this week, after completing the first phase of an elaborate refurbishment. 

Carried out over lockdown, the 5-star wellness resort, the first in the Lefay collection, used its downtime to completely renovate all its suites as well as the lobby, reception area, lounge, fireplace room and lounge bar – to stunning effect.

The fresh new look embraces lighter shades and furnishings, made from natural local materials and Italian fabrics. Rooms have also had a tech upgrade, with Bose Bluetooth speakers and smart 4k flatscreen TVs.

The lobby area has been repainted in matching contemporary tones, with new furniture, fabrics, carpets and wall graphics, all designed to maximise its iconic views over Lake Garda. For more, check out the renders in our slideshow below.
