I can’t comment on any feature of the resort because I never saw it. I can comment, unlike most other guests, on the extraordinary kindness, generosity, care, resourcefulness, generosity, and professionalism of the staff, from the director (Stefania Matteo) through many of her colleagues, to help my friend and me after a car accident near the gates of the resort on our way to a two night stay. I’ve run out of words to express my gratitude. This review is my thanks, however inadequate. We are both on our way to a full recovery, thanks only to Lefay Resort and the exceptional people there. I’m looking forward to a real stay someday. I’m sure it will be wonderful. Mille grazie! ❤️

Genuinely one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. The views are absolutely stunning, and every direction is beautiful. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. The staff were all so incredibly helpful and kind. The pools were amazing, and the indoor/outdoor pool was awesome for a rainy day spot. The hiking path on the property was also a fun surprise and had some beautiful scenery along it.

Just outstanding. For me the only thing that’s more beautiful than Garda itself is this hotel. The staff, the service is just amazing. I’ve been to many 5 star hotels and resorts, this one simply stands out. The road up to the resort is a bit of a hassle but once you get there you’ll forget about it. Thanks again Lefay team and it won’t be the last time.
