BOOK LEFAY RESORT & SPA LAGO DI GARDA (in cooperation with Booking.com)

For those looking to heal their body and soul while being immersed in dramatic scenery that seems to have materialized from the strokes of the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, the Lefay Resort & Spa Lago Di Garda, hands down the best spa hotel in Lake Garda, is the ultimate choice. Starting with the obvious, the panoramic pool, suspended between Italy's largest lake and the sky surrounded by limestone mountains, is the hotel's welcome card. The commanding views of the "Riviera dei Limoni" below trigger guests into contemplation mode, preparing them for a stay that holds firm on the promise of delivering a renovated state of mind. The award-winning spa offers health-focused programs and wellness treatments that seamlessly blend Traditional Chinese Medicine with the most cutting-edge techniques from Western science. Apart from that, guests are invited to take the most out of six on-site saunas, a sprawling salt lake, an infinity pool, a steam room, an ice pool, a whirlpool tub, and indoor and outdoor heated pools. The Royal Pool & SPA Suite, the most impressive accommodation at Lefay Resort & Spa Lago Di Garda, not only boasts stunning lake views but also features a private infinity pool, a private spa, and all the "what nots" demanding guests can expect from such a luxurious suite. Also impressive are the hotel's most recent Sky Suites, offering private terraces with expansive lake vistas. In conjunction with the fabulous views, the high-end hotel treats its patrons with the healthiest take possible on the Mediterranean diet. The epitome of this winning combination is the Gramen restaurant, which gets its name from the Latin word for "herb." The panoramic and romantic alfresco tables, in particular, adorned with candles and perfumed by the natural surrounding fragrances, translate into a meal beyond perfection.
