Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti

A stunning setting, with beautifully furnished rooms, excellent food and a luxury spa. We took advantage of the free guided hike to the local waterfall which was well worth the trip. The spa treatments are fantastic. Staff at the hotel are friendly and attentive and the whole experience is very special. We will definitely return for another visit

Returning to Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti in autumn revealed another side of a place I already loved. The woods turning gold, the softer light, the mountains framing the view: the setting is exceptional, and this season gives it a particularly intimate atmosphere. What stayed with me just as much, though, was the kindness of the staff. There is something about being welcomed with such warmth and attention that makes you feel completely at ease, almost more cared for than you would at home. For me, that makes all the difference. The heated outdoor pool is a beautiful place to take in the landscape. Swimming in that warmth with the fresh mountain air around you is already special in autumn; I can only imagine how magical it must feel when everything beyond the water is covered in snow. The spa deserves time of its own. The treatments are of an exceptionally high standard, delivered by therapists whose gentle, attentive approach makes it easy to let go. From deeply relaxing massages drawing on Asian techniques to more targeted work to release muscular tension, there is room for very different needs. The pools, saunas and wellness circuits make it tempting to leave an entire afternoon unplanned. That same sense of ease carries through the rest of the hotel. The spacious rooms, with balconies or terraces opening onto the surroundings, invite you to slow down, while selected suites take the experience further with a private sauna. There is also a gym open around the clock, should you feel like moving between all that resting Between the restaurant, a casual bite and time spent in the lounge bar, the days find their own rhythm. The fireplace makes the lounge especially inviting: somewhere to linger over a conversation after dinner, or settle into a book before bed. I came back for the setting and the spa, but it is the way I felt throughout my stay - welcome, comfortable and wonderfully unhurried - that makes me want to return again.

We arrived straight from our wedding for our first holiday as a married couple. The hotel is beautiful, but our celebration at Grual was overshadowed by a booking mistake and the hotel’s handling of it. Reception never told us the tasting menu was unavailable at the only reservation time offered. Finding out at dinner and having to repeatedly plead our case was deeply embarrassing. The hotel confirmed they had failed to send us the policy, but showed little understanding or willingness to take responsibility. Knowing we were celebrating our wedding, we expected more care. Mistakes happen; how they are handled is what makes us reluctant to return or recommend this hotel.

Visited Lefay for a 4 night stay to celebrate a special birthday. The service provided by all staff was outstanding. Upon arrival, a team welcomed us and even parked the car (this continued throughout our stay). We were shown to our room and even showed how to operate different things within the room. The views from the get go are breathtaking! The facilities are incredible although can be slightly overwhelming if you do not know the layout of the spa. A spa map is in the room and would recommend to look at this before walking round the spa. Robes, slippers and a tote bag are all provided, many people choose to wear this to breakfast and lunch. There are clean towels, water stations and snacks provided throughout the spa. We visited the Michelin star restaurant (12 course taster menu) and would highly recommend for both service and quality of the food. Staff kindly provided a birthday treat discreetly which was much appreciated. The only notable con to this hotel is the lack of variety on food. The town the hotel is located in is quite small and there are not many alternative food options outside of eating at the hotel. The menu for lunch, dinner and room service is very small, repetitive and extremely pricey. Bearable if you’re only staying for a few days but something to be made aware of! Overall, I would rate this a 5* hotel and would be keen to return for another special occasion in the future. Thank you!
