There are places that has a soul, capable of evoking strong sensations, inner dialogues, emotions of peace. There is an enchanted Spa on Lake Garda; it is called Lefay Resort, it’s placed between lemons, clouds and forests and infuses Ecological Wellness, a global well-being, made of soil, sky and myth, aimed at re-balancing body, mind and spirit. This Resort, totally eco-sustainable and bio-compatible, was inaugurated on the 08/08/08 and conceived by Leali Family, the founder of Air Dolomiti, with the aim of offering an eco-luxury holiday, friend of the environment, which allows to recover own mental-physical energies, feeling at home and, at the same time, far from own daily life. The wellness of the person is necessarily the environmental well-being. In fact, the ecological luxury is a new concept that embraces themes such as nature, silence, time for yourself, discretion, space and health.

Lefay Resort, green-inspired, is located in the heart of the Lemons’ Riviera, above the characteristic village of Gargnano, known for the Centomiglia regatta, and extends in a 11-hectare natural park, between grassy terraces, olive groves and woods. The view of the lake takes away the breath and the feeling that is felt is like that of rising into the sky, suspended above the clouds. The secret of this “corner of fairies” is the attention to detail, to make guests feel like they are fleeing from reality, fulfilling their dreams and desires. Everything is natural, even the materials of the rooms and the structure are made by olive wood, walnut and Italian marble. 90% of the energies used are from renewable sources and the technologies are of the latest generation. During my stay in this glimpse of paradise, I was able to appreciate the pleasure of finding myself, practicing yoga and meditation, in contact with extraordinary nature, cuddling in the whirlpools of heated outdoor pools, in a fairytale setting, indulging in massages of a wonderful 3,000 m² Spa, which offers a rich selection of treatments, thalassotherapy, hydrotherapy, mud, compresses, oriental rituals, acupuncture. The wellness therapies are based on the innovative scientific method Lefay, which is based on the techniques of Chinese Medicine, thanks to a Scientific Committee, chaired by Prof. Maurizio Corradin, through ad hoc health programs.

The Spa is divided into three areas: the world of “Water and Fire”, with swimming pools, saunas, caves and ponds; that of “Nature and Fitness”, with a gym and a training room; finally, the “Silence among the Stars: Trilogy of Air”, with trails in the woods, for sporting activities and relaxation. The thalassotherapy experience in the salt lake, with a huge suspended moon, looking inside, was very pleasant: after 30 minutes immersed, among the minerals, at 38 degrees of temperature, I realized that the skin of the whole body appeared drained and detoxified. The cuisine at both restaurants, La Limonaia and La Vigna, is of the highest standard, in the quality of local raw materials and in respect of seasonality, with a hypocaloric-detoxifying menu, called The Lightness of Being. The guest is followed by a medical staff, so as to recover the vital energy and complete balance, rediscovering a healthier and more conscious lifestyle. Let’s meet, then, 3 meters above the sky, in a corner of total green paradise, to live in Ecological Wellness, among lemons, clouds and fairies. Raphaella Dallarda (INSPATIMEBLOG)
